Fuck Hulk Hogan's racist ass for potentially killing Lifehacker

10 Amazing Hacks to Deal With Bankruptcy!

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Eat shit gawker, terrible hypocrites deserves to go under.

 

[adj_noun]

Gawker: It came crashing down and it hurts inside.

 

[Tansut]

Can't wait to see this article at Gawker:

"A Judge Told Us to Pay Hulk Hogan $115 Million. We Won't."

 

[dark_quota]

Good for Hulk.

 

[Dirca]

He is truly the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. YES! YES! YES! DIGGIT!

 

[theSlacker]

Oh shit, that is even before punitive damages?

 

[Switch Back 9]

I know Hogan is a piece of shit, but I fucking hate Gawker and Jezebel so this is pretty great in that respect.

[Cat Party]

Where are people getting the idea that Gawker can't afford this? Insurance exists for a reason.

 

[FelixOrion]

See ya Gawker, back into the trashbin where you fucking belonged the whole time, you tabloid rag.

I love that Denton and Daulerio are being held personally liable too.

 

[BronsonLee]

Oh, there's a new thread? Cool. Twitter is AMAZING right now.

From the other thread: It's also worth pointing out that Hulk probably went for a large amount because he knows Gawker can't pay it
He wants them done

 

[NYR]

He won't see a dime, Gawker will declare bankruptcy, close its doors.

 

[Imbarkus]

If only the new development of independent net-based media, not owned by the large mega-media corporations, had more clearly dedicated itself to the kind of investigation of corporate malfeasance that the mega-media corporations cover up.

Turning sensationalist, and committing to the idea that every person of note is a pseudo-celebrity ripe for the click-bait tabloid treatment, was clearly self-defeating.

 

[Cagey]

Gawker fancies itself an edgy, more insightful and progressive version of New York magazine when it's TMZ-tier garbage dripping with sanctimony from comments-section-tier hacks.

So, fuck off.

 

[23qwerty]

Where are people getting the idea that Gawker can't afford this? Insurance exists for a reason.

Huh, this the sorta thing covered by insurance? interesting

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Gawker getting them Yapapai lashes now. RIP.

Hulkster to celebrate his victory on Monday Night Raw.

 

[D4Danger]

He's going to destroy Gawker

Body slamming Andre The Giant is now #2 on Hogan's greatest achievements.

 

[Empty]

feel bad for the people at gawker who will lose jobs because the heads thought they should profit from revenge porn because lol hulk hogan. though hopefully they can sell off the better sites.

 

[akira28]

they'll appeal the fuck out of it

 

[UCBooties]

Ouch, those are some insane damages.

io9, Kotaku, and Deadspin are three websites I will be very sorry to see go even if Gawker themselves are terrible.

Jezebel hasn't been good for a couple years and Gizmodo can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble but there are a few other sites under the Gawker umbrella that seem to have decent communities. It's gonna be weird seeing them all go at once.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

meh, they both suck

My sentiments as well

 

[Username1198]

It doesn't get mor American that that.

jk

He should use that money to help minorities

Spoiler

lol

 

[ReAxion]

heh

 

[Count Dookkake]

If Jezebel goes down, how will I know if this is problematic?

 

[Dennis]

Hopefully this sinks Gawker.

Let us pray, brother.

 

[SecretDan]

I read an article about it where they broke everything down, and the answer they came up with is that no they can't and if Gawker loses they essentially have no recourse.

Can you or someone else link this?

 

[Calion]

Wow

 

[CharminUltra]

Not that I'm a Hulk fan but


DIE GAWKER DIE YOU POS

 

[Armaros]

they'll appeal the fuck out of it

It's Florida, they have to put up 50 million in escrow first.

 

[diamount]

Oh, there's a new thread? Cool. Twitter is AMAZING right now.

From the other thread: It's also worth pointing out that Hulk probably went for a large amount because he knows Gawker can't pay it

No, I think he fully expects a 8 digit sum.

 

[Nibel]

Hope Kotaku will land on its feet with no big damages

 

[jstripes]

This is the right outcome. I honestly don't know what Gawker was thinking.

 

[BronsonLee]

It still astounds me btw that Hulk asked for 100 million dollars, an astronomical amount, and not only got that, he got 15 mil MORE

And that doesn't include punitive damages yet either.

THE MAIN EVENT BONUS

No, I think he fully expects a 8 digit sum.

He'll probably get it while they file for bankruptcy

 

[victreeb3l]

Holy shit

 

[Balphon]

And they want to award punitives as well?

I can't imagine the court will let the amount stand.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

I don't really care for the money awarded, what i care for is the moral victory over Gawker and the double standards that they think its in the public interest for this sex tape, but then denounces other celebrity leaks
Hope they are chocking on their hypocrisy right now

closelined Gawker to death and its awesome

 

[RBH]

 

[The Flash]

heh

Heh

 

[Dennis]

lmao!

That creative control clause extends farther than I'd ever imagined.

I would love to hear the justification for reaching that amount.

Just be a fly on the wall.

 

[Rellik]

Holy shit.

Gawker just jobbed hard to Hogan.

 

[Jarmel]

2016 takes another.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Daaamn, that's insane.

No matter how you feel who sucks more or not, Gawker royally screwed up doing what they did, they were never going to win this, but holy crap at $115 million. @_@

 

[giga]

lmao!

heh

 

[TimeEffect]

So in wrestling terms, what's going to become of Gawker?

 

[Zaph]

 

[Gattsu25]

Hope the Kotaku folks land on their feet, 'cause Gawker's pretty much blown up at this point.

I like Kotaku and io9 but...good. Airing that video was always a sleazy fucking act.
