Si Newhouse's Assistant Doesn't Read 'GQ' or Page Six
Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (it happens!) or by design (it happens more often).
- "Page Six article about GQ editor in Chief's comment about asian whores—contacted Eric Myer, Managing editor of GQ regarding the use of "Asian whores" by their Editor in Chief. he told me to write a letter! called Sy Newhouse's office and his assistant Kathy told me she doesnt read GQ, or Page Six, and also told me to write a letter to complain. this is not only racist but sexist and so far no aplogy from anyone regardign the loose use of highly offensive term. I know Gawker can get a response though."
- "Hey, you like dudes?—What? They didn't ask sex and race? Then perhaps there
IS a way to make this poll more insulting. I agree with Sigerson Holmes." - "Fair Trade Not Free Trade—In your piece on the preciousness that is Brooklyn you mention free-trade coffee shops. I assume you mean Fair Trade as the majority of coffee shops in the world are free trade. This is erroneous and unfortunately way too many humans confuse the two terms when the difference is quite significant-one entails alleviating poverty the other oppressing. I hope in the future you will note the difference and report accordingly."

- Do you have any new pics of Diane lane- I run www.diane-lane.org That would be great if you do!
Kendra - "I wrote a book; PRISON SURVIVAL MANUAL. HOW do I get Paris Hilton a copy? Thanks"
- "Re: Some Changes Afoot—Ok, so it's cool you're making changes etc but can you do something about the size of the text of the titles. The red title is too small and the black one too big. The result of this is I always skip the red one (like Remainders) and read the black one and it's confusing. Waa waa waa for me I know but whatever. Can they be the same size, or the red one be bigger, or something so it looks like it exists"
- "From the excerpt of 'Times' Still Too Wordy For Young Atoosa—"I know it's not because I'm not stupid..." ok, now just read that bit again. If I understand English correctly, this double negative translates to her saying "I know it's because I'm stupid." Did anyone else notice this?"
- "Hi Gawker! I am the editor of a celebrity gossip site. I really love your site. It's funny and fresh. In fact, I already have a link to you on my page.
