None of the other sites got a dumbass dickish diatribe. I think that's why everybody is mad.

if it was a joke, that would be one thing. No, what this is, is high level trolling for cash.

Something can be intentionally inflammatory and be neither funny, light-hearted, or in good fun. Pretty sure that's the case here. Gawker writers see themselves and their site as a cut above the rest of us pleebs, especially those of us interested in such smelly and confusing machines.

That was fun! Also, I've never had so many recommends on a comment I posted over there. Weird.

Deadspin's is alright. Jezebel's is a little condescending, and Kotaku's takes the piss out of them a little.

I suppose none of them are quite as insulting as ours, but they're all a little irreverent.

Probably not, but I ascribe to Hanlon's Razor:

'never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity'

As razor's go, it's not very sharp, but it is quite useful.

Here's the thing - AFAIK, none of the other sites had the author make those condescending responses. Plus most of the authors only made one or two suggestions. This guy tried to fill up the comments with them since he knew he was going to stir shit up. He purposely wanted to make sure he'd get the first and last words in for the people who just glance at the bottom few comments, get their laugh, and move on.

It reads like all he wanted was a few cheap shots with no chance at a retalliation....which is why a jalopnik author should do a counter gift suggestion of gifts. Here's my submission

An Actual Source of News - Tired of watching everyone's eyes roll when you open your mouth? Instead of talking about gossip all day long like a bored housewife, open up a motherfucking newspaper or go to the BBC news website for once and educate yourself a bit! Then hold on to your seat as your mind is challenged by having to make an informed opinion instead of parroting gossip and one-sided displays of ignorance. You might even become a better person!

Go on, the featured gift for Jezebel readers is a cookie-cutter for the kitchen , and the Kotaku one contains this comment:

Perhaps the greatest holiday gift you can give the gamer in your life is to not stoop to the tired cliche of the energy drink-addled basement-dwelling pimply male teen when describing them.

Everybody's getting dissed, get in line.
