Glaring Omissions: We Are All Fat Sorority Girls
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).
- "You know, the Nick Denton concept that public humiliation is amusing is the thinking of a stupid scumbag. It's so nauseatingly British class-conscious and yet at the same time so fat sorority girl. I write you nice notes, and you feed out insults. That office is polluted with English smugness—what are they here for, to take their Cambridge degrees and waste them writing snarky gossip? This adds value to America? It hardly matters, because the time to sell is long past, and the whole thing is going down the tubes.—Farfel"
- "Frank Bruni vs. that fat guy—F.B. even gave the Penthouse steak house a one star review ...enough said."
- "I wish you would do something on Judi Guliani. Really, really wish. The Harpers Bazaar interview from this month. Has a political spouse ever stooped so low? The fact that she wore a long white dress AND TIARA to her wedding despite the fact that it was her second and his third. And the fact that she'd been having the affair while he was married and he was still mayor. The Hamptons magazine cover story from last summer that referred to her as "First Lady of the Hamptons". She'd be such an easy target to rip to shreds. And she deserves it."
- "I'm a frequent reader of your site and also a DePauw student. With your recent post, you only seem to be perpetuating intolerance towards those who aren't the embodiment of physical perfection. But at least you're upfront about it, unlike DZ's headquarters. Please withhold my name and email if you mention this anywhere. There are news crews on campus, and my own sorority has forbidden me to talk about it to the media."
- "I just wanted to let you guys know that Bruni is totally gay, I don't think he's even moderately closeted. I work in the restaurant industry and it's common knowledge. His overt homosexuality is the subtext that makes this review so funny. . .alll the comments skew toward Bruni outing himself, and some even assume that he's straight - not being a commenter myself I just had to get this off my chest!"
- "How come the pg 6 coverage didn't make it on today? Did I just miss it?"
- "Hi my name is Shanekia. I am a struggling model trying to make it. I would greatly appreciate if you would please view my pictures and consider hiring me to be in one of your magazines. If you need a copy of my resume please email or call. Thanks have a blessed day."
- "Please visit the link below:
