Hulk Hogan and Thiel beat Gawker

Hulk Hogan and Thiel beat Gawker
Bankruptcy's not much of a shocker
Nick Denton (and crew)
Must now say 'adieu'
Perhaps someone needs a dog-walker

  1. I know it's evil but mostly I'm just glad that Gawker is gone.

  2. What Denton is doing is genius. Move this whole thing to bankruptcy court & leave Thiel with scraps.

  3. Jose Velazquez I suspect that Thiel will be satisfied with watching them burn.....

  4. Gawker isn't gone. Ziff Davis is picking it up and presumably going to keep it going.

  5. Valdis Klētnieks There will be no burning. A buyer is waiting, as Nate McD stated, and things will continue as usual.

  6. Jose Velazquez I'm sure that being told they will bow to their new corporate overlords will be quite sufficient enough burning.

  7. I seriously doubt that Ziff Davis will significantly stifle their editorial voice, but that is beside the point: Theil's zeal is most likely sated with the bankruptcy and Denton's misfortune.
