Some things cross the line. Today, Kotaku is learning the hard way that posting photos of Tubgirl on the front page of their site is damaging to their reputation and character.

Looks as though Jason Chen, Editor of Gizmodo, Mark Wilson, Associate Editor for Kotaku and Gizmodo, thought it would be funny to post a photo of Tubgirl on Kotaku, allowing the world to see it in all it's hideous glory. Well, I don't think it was probably funny for those poor souls who opened Kotaku while at work to find that image plastered on the front page for their boss to see. Can you hear the conversation to that boss? I think I can...

"No Sir, I swear that I am not into those types of things!"
"You sure you aren't into hardcore scat?"
"No, I swear I am not!"
"Too bad. My wife would totally have loved to get with you. She's kinky like that."

Of course, some creative liberties were taken in that conversation, but such a poor action can completely piss of a readership that does not take too kindly to these types of things.

Edit: Looks as though Jason Chen, not Mark Wilson is responsible for this action. Totally classless on Chen's part.

I lol'd
 
Shit, I missed it.  The pic is gone already:(  What was it?
 
@shaggy:

Yeah, you don't really need to search for Tubgirl if you haven't seen it, it'll scar you.
 
I suggest if you don't know what it is you should look it up.

It is one of the timeless pieces of internet like mudfall, goatse, lemonparty and meatspin, etc, etc.

In anycase i have to agree it is rather tasteless.
 
Damn Anthony! Thanks for reopening all those wounds!

What a dumbass. Was he fired?
 
Oh internets, how I love you.
 
@Tynstar:

Looks as though Brian and Brian (editors of Gizmodo and Kotaku) have kissed and made up, and there has been a formal apology on both sites.

One thing's for certain, they did certainly get into the fight.
 
Ok, take Dave's advice.  It is NASTY!!!!!!!!! It was not what I thought it would be.
 
I've never heard of some of those on Anthony's list. I don't want to know, but I feaqr my curiosity may get the better of me.
 
Den, dont open those cans of worms.  Once you do, a little part of you will die inside for each and every one of those images.  Your a good person, dont do it!
 
I lol'd at everybodies comments Smiley

This is where my thoughts go and are never heard from again.

Well, maybe not, but this is the repository for all of my published thoughts and rantings. It'll make my day if you find at least 10% of it amusing and enjoyable to read.


Sorry for the other 90%.
