Glaring Omissions: Disney Channel Once a Year
Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (rarely) or design (almost always). Feel free to remark on these items' relative worthiness for coverage and/or relative stupidity. And, as ever, we're open to suggestions for future posts either via email or in the comments below.
• "norman mailer's personalized polemics are indicative of a closeted old man's cry to be violently penetrated in a backdoor manner with a slew of retaliatory remarks; misogamy stemming from repressed homosexuality. adele, et al. were beards."
• "if any of you contact 50 cent, tell him I'm an independent writer. I written hustlers from harlem, and looking for a publisher for my just finished book A Rappers' Love Story. My name is Ronne. And my book can be purchase on line at Barnes and Noble.com"
• "I honestly can not believe that your post about High School Musical is just hitting the screen. For people that TiVo The View and the Today Show and live on YouTube to document Rosie O'Donnell's every booger, I am shocked you're just discovering High School Musical. It's completely old news. Even if you did just see it and enjoyed it, hailing it as a TODO is like saying that the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode is cutting edge. If you're going to review the Disney Channel at least watch it once a year."
- "How could you guys let David Carr off the hook? His online column for The Times is the height of inanity . . . just wondering."
- "Oh ... I get it. Allowing comments by invitation only assures that the level of discussion remains as petty and banal as the headlines you come up with. You really are like a hip bar! Sorry, didn't mean to crash your party. Please trash my former post attempt(s) if you haven't already."
- "Is there any way for me to reach Deborah Moss, pictured on your website?"
- "You really need to send someone down to Grand Central Station to see this unbelievable hagiographic display of ego, hubris, whatever by Eliot Spitzer and his corporate shills...an 'exhibit' called the 'Road to Governor'; supposedly an academic view of the traditional election trail, but really just Eliot, Eliot, Eliot. I have never really seen anything like it — except maybe Napoleon stamping his N all over Europe, Egypt, etc... Seriously, have someone check it out. has to be seen to be believed. Made for parody."
- "on the subject of racks at huffpo, melissa lafsky, the blogger they hired as an editor over there, is of the c-cup persuasion as well, or at least it looks that way in the picture on her blog. looks like arianna has a serious mammary fetish, or something. I need to figure out how to get myself a job over there.
- "Was on an uptown E about an hour and a half ago - train stopped at 34th, the passenger came on intercom to tell conductor there was a dead guy in the last car. I didn't hang around to confirm, I just ran upstairs to get a cab. One guy shouted at cops at the end of the platform to get the guy off the train so we could proceed."
- "Wire Image intentionally labeled Perez as 'unknown guest' at Room Service out of spite because of the suit ..."
- "Rumor has it from the West Coast that Judith [Regan] got hit by a car and smashed her foot to pieces. I thought you might be able to get to the bottom of this. The poor heinous twat. I'm dying to know more!"
- "saturday: backed up (internally). sunday: backlash (hemorrhoids). monday: another backlash (skin tabs) (yes, true). tuesday: backed up again. also, lost my job (fired). wednesday: backlash (can't produce because of said skin tag). thursday: did horrid blow, got rid of everything. feeling very good. now: (friday am) writing an email to gawker and trying to remember how my waste relates to our current Social Climate."
- "you guys should do something to ferret out the amount of money that mckinsey got for recommending that all those shmucks at the nyt get canned."
- "Come on now. I think it's safe to say that you are precisely as entertaining as Rosie O'Donnell and/or Donald Trump."
