Jalopnik Gift Guide:

Theme?

No, not cars, silly. Why would you assume that? Of course, in creating the Jalopnik-themed gift guide, Gawker says to suggest things that will "make it easier to go car-less, or nearly car-less? What sort of item, or gift card, would you be willing to give your car-crazy cousin if you didn't want to encourage him?"

The fuck?

Seriously, that's some jimmie-rustling shit right there. And they wonder why we hate Gawker so much.

I just commented asking for clarification. I am now retreating to my bunker for the afternoon.

Oh, Gosh.

J.K. Trotter has no idea what he's just done.

Let's flood it with car-RELATED gifts. I posted Blipshift shirts.

Come on Jalops, let's give Gawker shit by not following their rules.

What a fucking troll ... I left a comment that shall undoubtedly remain gray.

This made me post my first ever Gawker comment. I feel dirty but it had to be done.

So, like every Gawker writer after they post an article.

Pandering to their audience. Smart. Alienating the core audience here. Not so smart. Clearly the accountants have been consulted and the jaloppo corner doesn't pull enough ad clicks for their tastes so we get thrown under the busses we don't ride. Do I sound like a gawker commenter yet?

Dear Gawker writers and commenters, I'd like to be more of a gentleman, but I can't.

FUCK YOU.
Yes, fuck you in the ass like Ahmadinejad. Fuck your prejudices and neodogmas. Fuck your condescendent attitude. Fuck your precious NYC. Fuck your precious USA. Fuck your precious buses and subways. Fuck your precious misspellings. Fuck your precious superiority complexes. Fuck you very loud.

Disclosure: To any American, or New Yorker, who may find offence in the above, please remind that it's only valid for Gawker writers and commenters. Although fuck you too if you share their mind.

You forgot something about social justice, "republicunts", an insult of wal-mart, and something about gluten.

You're getting there.

I like jalopnik/oppo for being relatively free of politicrap, no matter which "side" it's on. I couldn't bring myself to post that even in the spirit of satire. Unless I was paid enough that is.

Spam their comments with all the shit we want

Get to work, fellow Opponauts!

That's Gawker for you. I'm pretty left wing and liberal. Possibly quite the socialist in the eyes of Americans, but I can't go on Gawker without cringing my arse off, not to mention Jeze-fucking-bel. I mean, even Gizmodo, which is supposed to be about "cool gadget" freaks me out.

After his replies to me, this is more obvious!

I'm pretty socially liberal myself. And yeah, the level of smug social justice warrior on gawker is terrible.

Jalopnik should separate from Gawker and form its own website.

W0w...actually stuck around and browsed their headlines a bit. What a hateful place...

He recommended my "never lift" comment. I'm quite certain he doesn't know the inside joke.

Clueless.

He recommended a few of mine. I looked at the screen sideways and then shook my head. Because he has no idea.
