I saw that Kia kissing article title and went, “didn’t someone just get shot and killed on Facebook Live” and sure enough...

Why is that Kia article on Gizmodo and not Jalopnik? I guess Libby just doesn’t have posting privileges on Jalopnik, but really wanted to write about it...

I dunno, it just seems kind of a stretch to put it on Gizmodo just because of the use of Facebook Live. Even the article itself is more about the car contest than the fact that somebody put it on Facebook. Does everything that’s live-streamed automatically become topical for “technology/design” blogs, just because it got posted on social media? I mean, if you wanted to, you could go as far as to say that everything said over the phone is tech-relevant.

Yeah Facebook live makes this all seem much easier then Periscope or any of the others...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better example of Gizmodo (since Gawker is no more) logic than that picture you posted. Like, oh my.

Plot twist:

The killer’s Ford Fusion had a Bedford KIA front license plate insert:
