They probably turned on the “kinja” function was all.

Wait, the Kinja servers are under attack from something other than their own shitty design?

This is how it starts. Kinja has become self aware. Take shelter! The nukes are coming!

Apparently, some people think that Kinja needs help Kinjaing.

Kinja isn't good enough to turn into SkyNet.

All they have to do is hit the Nibbles switch. Easy peasy.

You know, it’s bad when a web site’s user base can’t tell the difference between a DDOS attack and normal everyday operations.

That's what it wants you to think.

We all know Kinja will just end up nuking itself, so as long as you don't live near kinja's servers, you should survive.

I wonder if it was the same people who attacked Linode. We have a few servers hosted there for work and they have been under attack since Christmas.

Gawker’s considered a news website?

That’s news to me!

I’m charmed that the attackers put us on the same level as CNN and BBC. Well, at least the BBC.

It’s truly an honor. If you ever seek employment elsewhere, this should be a note next to the “Gawker Media” work history on your résumé.

Not saying that you need to seek employment elsewhere, but if you ever did...

Kinja is to SkyNet as Spaceballs is to Star Wars.

This is the best description of Gawker I’ve seen.
