New Romney Ad Makes Tom Brokaw "Extremely Uncomfortable" [Election 2012]
As a reporter, Tom Brokaw is dignified and unflappable — but you wouldn't like him when he's angry. A USA Today article quotes a statement Brokaw made via NBC in response to Mitt Romney's new "History Lesson" ad. The TV spot, which began running in Florida this weekend, is mostly footage from a 1997 Nightly News report on Newt Gingrich's ethics violation. And while Brokaw is admittedly rather sassy in the footage, he doesn't appreciate having it used out of context in a campaign attack ad. More »


Can a Creepy Garden Gnome Launch the Giants to Victory? [Wtf]
The NY Daily News brings us the touching tale of a Brooklyn woman and her lucky garden gnome. Ever since Jennifer Pernice received the gag gift — it's your standard garden gnome in a Giants jersey — "The Giants have been doing pretty good." Look, either Pernice is the fun kind of crazy, or that gnome is actual magic. Either way it makes for a great story. More »


Kate Middleton Wins Dubious Hat-Based Award [Fashion]
The Headwear Association has selected Kate Middleton as the Hat Person of the Year. Because apparently being a duchess wasn't a big enough honor. In THA's defense, Middleton was actually selected via an online poll. Also, I'm not sure how fashionable this organization is. They claim to have been founded in 1908, which looks to be around the same time they designed their blog. More »


David Fincher to India: The Anal Rape Stays in the Picture [Movies]
Barring a glossy Bollywood remake — which, honestly, could be kind of fun — India will not be releasing The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. According to The Hollywood Reporter, India's Central Board of Film Certification demanded some pretty big content cuts. To which David Fincher said, "No fucking way." (I doubt he used that language, but when rejecting censorship, it's always fun to throw in an extra swear.) More »


More of Rupert Murdoch's Reporters Arrested for "Creative" Journalism [Media]
The Huffington Post is reporting that four more of Rupert Murdoch's employees have been arrested. The current and former reporters for The Sun are suspected of bribing the police — and yes, one of the officers in question is also in custody. More »


Greece Is Almost Ready to Make a Deal, Maybe [Greece]
Well, progress is progress. The New York Times reports that Greece is "inch[ing] toward [a] deal" establishing the new interest rates that Greek bonds will carry. No one can officially confirm what this compromise would entail, only that "bondholders have made significant concessions with regard to the interest rate." But let's not get too excited. More »


Liam Neeson Tops Box Office, But Katherine Heigl Remains Relevant [Box Office]
It should come as no surprise that The Grey AKA Liam Neeson Fights Some Goddamn Wolves topped the box office on Friday. The Hollywood Reporter predicts an $18 million weekend, which would be more impressive if it weren't competing against so many shitty movies. In second place, the Katherine Heigl vehicle One for the Money, which has the distinct disadvantage of no wolves and a fairly contentious star. Even Heigl, at one point, admitted that no one liked her. More »


Buy Barack Obama's Old Chrysler [Deals]
Now that he's moved on to bigger and shinier things, Barack Obama has no need for his old mode of transportation. I'm actually pretty sure he ditched it a while back, but hey — now it can be yours. The eBay scourers over at BuzzFeed stumbled on an exciting opportunity to purchase Obama's 2005 Chrysler 300. For a paltry one million dollars, you can drive around in the same car then-Senator Obama may have used to travel between Washington D.C. and Chicago. That's right, no guarantees. At least the listing is honest? More »


Are Unborn Donkeys Worth More Than Live Scorpions? [Gross]
On Thursday, TMZ reported that NBC's Fear Factor would be forcing its contestants to guzzle beer steins full of donkey urine and donkey semen. (The urine doesn't sound so bad, right?) This raises a whole lot of questions about what reality television is willing to put its contestants through — and what we, as a viewing public, are willing to watch. It's one thing when Andrew Zimmern eats at an all-penis restaurant on Bizarre Foods. This is a horrifying amount of unadulterated donkey jizz. More »


Twitter Blackout Protest Means Fewer Tweets About Brunch [Twitter]
If your Twitter timeline is looking a little quieter this morning, it could be as a result of a day-long protest against Twitter's recent announcement that they would be blocking certain tweets in different countries. As it turns out, the concept of free speech and expression differs from nation to nation, and Twitter would rather not facilitate any illegal activity. More »

Barista Uprise: Starbucks Is 'Not The Company I Thought It Was,' Says Entitled Coffee Drone [Starbucks]
A Starbucks employee from one of the country's 475,645 kajillion locations claims that the very busy one she works for is mistreating its employees after it eliminated their break room. So Barista X over here has decided to email numerous media outlets to complain about this new policy. She attached the above picture of her fresh hell to prove just how demoralizing it is to have a coffee break in this coffee shop where she gets paid to serve coffee. More »


'Sucks Cuz I Used to Like It' and Other Things Gawker Made You Feel This Week [Tail Of Mears]
As the end of the week in this concrete jungle comes to a close, we are pleased to share with you yet another batch of hateful emails detailing all our many failings. And you guys, things got weird this week. We learned that Max Read practices the Five Knuckle Shuffle in the office bathroom, that one man's wife treats him like a criminal and that is fine by him, and that another reader demands to speak with George Orwell. Immediately! More »

Here's a Young Jon Stewart, Moshing at a Dead Kennedys Show [The Daily Show]
Irish Willis Peele snapped a lot of photographs of Virginia "speed punk" band Front Line back in the 1980s, including this one, from a Dead Kennedys show in Richmond, Va. Peele says the guy in the center is William and Mary student Jon Leibowitz — who later moved to New York and now has a pretty successful comedy career under the name Jon Stewart. In case you're wondering, it adds up — Stewart was at William and Mary until 1984. No word on his favorite DK song, though. "MTV Get Off the Air," maybe? [Filthy Pit, hat tip to Grady] More »


President John Tyler's Grandson is Still Alive and Has Delightful Political Opinions [Presidents]
The 10th President of the United States, John Tyler, was born in 1790 and still has two living grandchildren. And one of them, 84-year-old Harrison Tyler — born 138 years after his grandfather — just got suckered into a Politico interview, in which he had much to say. More »

Behold, the Most Obnoxious Christmas Letter Ever [The Rich]
What does it take to be the most obnoxious Christmas letter ever? An unbelievable level of smugness, yes, but also bragging about "a meal that costs the same as a Nissan Sentra," probably. From the tipster who sent this in: More »


New York's New Gay Disco Can't Even Spell Its Own Name Right [Mistakes]

Intrepid Blogger Determines Ice Cube's 'Good Day': January 20, 1992 [Video]
Is it too late to give a Pulitzer to Murk Avenue's Donovan Strain? Because if figuring out the exact day on which Ice Cube had a good day (as described in his 1993 classic "It Was a Good Day") isn't Pulitzer-worthy, I don't know what is. More »


Sitting on Quarterback Sex Assault Story, Yale Daily News Considered Seeking a Private Jet for Witt [Yale]
This morning we read how Yale Daily News, "Gutsiest Campus Newspaper of 2011," sat on the story of perfect Yale quarterback Patrick Witt's sex assault scandal for two months. Now, a humorous coda to their silence: We hear that YDN actually considered calling on wealthy alumni to charter a jet for the campus hero, so he wouldn't have to choose between the Yale-Harvard game and his Rhodes Scholarship interview.

UFC President Warns Anonymous: 'You're Gonna Get Osama bin Laden-ed' [Video]
Last Sunday, a group of hackers took down the website of the Ultimate Fighting Championships. This was a good choice, since it's sparked a week's-worth of enjoyable smack talk from UFC's president, including nerd put-downs and elaborate 9/11 analogies. More »


Meat Magazine Compares the Humane Society to Hitler [Journalismism]
One rock solid rule of editorial writing is, if you're against something, you always want to find a way to compare it to Hitler. This works because people hate Hitler a lot—and, through the simple principle of transference, they will have an equal amount of hate for whichever thing you compare to Hitler. This is just a basic "trick of the trade" which cannot backfire. More »


Ron Paul Knew All About His Beloved Racist Newsletters [Ron Paul]
The Washington Post is out with an excellent update on the history of the racist, homophobic, survivalist, nutcase newspapers that were published under his name in the 80s and 90s, which comes awfully close to confirming the most likely version of the story: He may not have written every word of them, but he sure signed off on them and wanted them written that way to pick up more subscribers and make more money.

It's been eight months since we exposed Silk Road, the underground online marketplace where you can anonymously buy any drug imaginable.

Some Ideas for Saving Newt Gingrich's Collapsing Florida Campaign [Video]
God, Newt Gingrich blew it so badly in last night's debate. After lobbying for several days to allow debate audiences to cheer again, and landing Wolf Blitzer, the most destructible sally of a debate moderator in world history, he simply allowed Mitt Romney to take advantage of the crowd and win the debate and couldn't even scream Wolf Blitzer back into his cubby hole of sadness once.

A Hedge Fund Manager's Bizarre, Lengthy Response to a Declined Second Date [Crazy Emails]
Now and then, we get forwarded crazy emails that people — most of whom are men involved in the finance industry — send to the people they're dating, or have dated, or want to date. Today: a thesaurus-happy hedge-fund manager accuses a woman he's been on one date with of lying to him and decides he'll teach her the best way to reject someone. More »


Let's Let All the Old People Out of Jail [Ideas]
Here in America, our jails are full of old people, and it's costing us a ton of money to keep them in there. Huh. Now there is a problem which certainly could not have been foreseen by craven "Law and order" politicians prosecuting a useless "War on Drugs" for the sake of public popularity, nor by the simplistic bloodthirsty voters who repeatedly elected them in order to satisfy a primal hatred of "the other." Anyhow, we have a solution: let the old people out of jail. More »


Bizarre Slave-Ship Spot Is an Early Contender for Best/Worst Campaign Ad of 2012 [Video]
A brief list of things you will see in this campaign ad for Republican congressional candidate Mark Oxner: bad special effects, a reference to a Cialis ad, a Guy Fawkes mask, slave-children rowing. It feels a little like a Ryan Trecartin thing? Or Tim and Eric? I don't know. Send it to all your friends. [via Wonkette] More »


Yes, the Romneys Converted Mitt's Dead Atheist Father-in-Law to Mormonism [Mormons]
Gawker's substantial Mormon readership has come through for us: Two readers have sent us confirmation that Edward Davies, Mitt Romney's militantly atheist father-in-law, was indeed posthumously converted to Mormonism by his family, despite the fact that when he was alive he regarded all religions as "hogwash."

An Article About Literacy Is the Worst Place to Misspell 'Literate' (Updated) [Bloopers]
"New York is less bookish than Cleveland?" the Daily News wonders incredulously about a study purporting to show the most literate cities in the U.S. One way of determining whether or not that's actually true might be to, say, see which city's hometown paper can spell "literate"? More »


Could Demi Moore's Decade-Long Red Bull 'Addiction' Have Contributed to Her Collapse? [Demi Moore]
Demi Moore was apparently drinking massive amounts of Red Bull (and forgoing food and drink) before the 911 emergency that led to her hospitalization. The Sun (which, to be fair, just make shit up sometimes) reports: More »
