Joe Francis: Gawker's Douche of the Decade
Yes, kids...here in America, being a pervert, a misogynist and a major douchenozzle will not only NOT prevent you from being successful, it may even be you your ticket to success and wealth. I LOVE this country...though not for this reason. ;-)
Andrea Peyser Ridicules Dead Man, For Christmas. Man, what kind of a miserable, bitter excuse for a human being do you have to be in order be as thoroughly, irredeemably arrogant and mean-spirited as Peyser? A pretty special one, apparently....
