True this is trite, but there's a lesson to be learned from Gawker: something called "humor" exists out there and Jessica is absolutely hilarious. Plus she rips apart pop culture without discretion. I love her.

Oh God, this gay creaming and screaming and public flirting is sending homoerotic twitches up my ding-a-ling. Who organized this pink lovefest? Spongebob Squarepants?

Ha ha ha! The funniest thing in light of this new photo is how Nick Denton is such a damned whimp--and 'cheeky ponce' to use his vernacular--that he actually hypes the foodfight and downplays the pie throwing, yet it's clear that it happened. And not in the self-congratulatory way that Denton has presented it. Thanks for posting this. There is no better example of the annoying smug vanity of the blog-o-sphere than the chain of events that ended up in all of this happening.

I read this story and don't even care about anything except that the person who threw the pie should be shot. For bad aim or moral reasons. I don't care.

Cut it out, Gothamist. If I cared about this crap I'd go to other sites. But you're special. Please take the high road and leave these jackasses to their foodfights.

There isn't anyone involved in that imbroglio who isn't a complete moron. It's time to amputate the cancerous growth that is Gawker Media from the blogosphere. Blargh.

I've just about had it with this circle jerk of overeducated media-obsessed twentysomethings. Be strong, Gothamist. Look away from the light. Just do what you do best: provide your service. Jake Dobkin, you're an MBA now, so you know that's where the money will ultimately be...in sites/blogs that actually help people live their lives a little better. And furthermore: will you please stop taking pictures of all these idiots? Don't you realize you're just enabling their narcissism?

Um, totally! Because, y'know, there clearly aren't enough weblogs about Iraq.

Okay so we have men and women fighting in Iraq. They are trying to keep from dying daily and there are morons such as yourselves throwing pies at eachother because of a (retarded/lame ass) blog site and a magazine? Hmmm... Yeah I think you all need a large dose of embalming fluid. Make it a double.

Does this fall in the any publicity is good publicity mindset? Or is this the most irrelevant piece of news to rattle the internet since... Blogs. Keep on eye on that Denton. He's a case-study in the wild. He heled elevate blogs to a new level, and now he's going to help make it an afterthought at best.
