Maybe it's a NY vs. LA thing, but there's something very ironic and sort of sad when a site which prides itself on being some sort of intellectual standard for "tabloid" journalism starts wagging its finger at the trouble-makers.

Not only is Gawker not qualitatively different from TMZ, both shoving and pushing to bring you their own brand of tawdriness, but with Gawker you are forced to swallow the stagnant air of pretentiousness they blanket their reporting with.

At least TMZ doesn't pretend to be something more than they are: a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray. Whereas Gawker thinks if you dress it up with sprig of parsley you suddenly have yourself a picnic al fresco.

Hey, does that make Glosslip a palette cleanser?
