Honestly, I'm not even sure how this Web site lasted as long as long as it did. Nik Richie, the douchebag owner of the misogynist, racist Web site TheDirty.com, is facing a December 9th court date that could shut his gossip site down for good.
Richie's Web site has done everything from accuse random people for having AIDS (with the accused's photo), call perfectly lovely girls ugly (complete with first and last names), and accuse random people, again with first and last name, for drug use.
All you have to do is email him a nasty story about someone, provide pictures, and he'll post it. Bonus points if you're a jilted lover with an axe to grind!
He whined yesterday about his court date and his first amendment rights, but let's remember that freedom of speech is much like freedom of movement: my right to swing my fist stops at your face.

Prince (formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince) who once gave up using the traditional naming system (going by a symbol instead of a word composed of letters from the Western alphabet), has given up on another conventional practice: use of the internet. Yes, the confused 80s pop star believes that the internet will meet the fate of it's oh-so-similar counterpart MTV, which he believes was once "hip" but is now outdated.
Sorry, Prince, but we're going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. Unless the internet starts airing episodes of "The Hills" exclusively, we have full confidence that it will be "hip" for years to come. We'll welcome you back on the reality train whenever you're ready to join us.

Eight Washington Post reporters hesitantly agreed to quit the internet, and the outcome was a total downer. The rules: "No Web, period. If you need to talk to someone, do it in person or by phone." The results: MASSIVE FAIL. What the week-long experiment revealed about humankind, below: More»
A site that encourages readers to send in photos of their past fashion mistakes (before they were hot) and current photos (after hotness has been attained) seems like it could easily devolve into a HotOrNot.com morass of dickery and arrogance. Lucikly, creators Anne and Melissa keep it cool. More»
The Times has an article on the crisis we live with daily, namely the "grammar and taste vigilantes" who plague twitter. The best part of the article is that they interviewed frequent target Jon Cusack at length. (Summary: Lloyd Dobler does not like Twitter Fascists.) The second best part is that now we have new time-wasters . . . albeit deeply flawed ones. More»
Geocities may not be the go-to for bitchin' websites anymore, but its legacy will never die, especially not if Wonder-Tonic's Geocities-ize has its way. "Make any webpage look like it was made by a 13-year-old in 1996!" boasts the site, which will tart up any URL you choose. More»
