I hate haters. Seriously.

Maybe it's the bulbous nose comment but perhaps some anti-semitism is at work here.

I saw Mr. Braff at a screening of Garden State in Dallas. He was there for some Q&A afterwards. He was very friendly and funny. So maybe he's introverted on his own personal time and funny and extroverted in his public persona... And so...hmmm. People like the "Gawkers" attitude is, "We wish you were someone, so we could take you down a notch. So we will build you up, then knock you down to make my miserable life a tiny bit less miserable"

Gawker stinks. No need to read it, I'll give you their formula.

Not to be confused with the Maxim formula (which consists of adding the words "... kind of like your sister" to the end of every sentence), the Gawker formula for writing is as follows:

Take a topic no one cares about, make a joke about it being "too easy" to make a certain joke, proceed to make that joke, then copy and paste things from other websites. Throw in a splash of overinflated self-importance (the kind where you deny that you're some nobody loser playing with your laptop in a Starbucks) and you've got a Gawker article.

He sent cupcakes to Pam Fischer when she broke her back, and that goes a long way in my book. C'mon! Delicious sugary treats with just a touch of whimsy.

Keller, bitch about this in your own blog.

Have some standards for your posts.

First off, I do not read Gawker at all. I read and article or two on Gizmodo every month or so, but that is it. But isn't it at least a little important to point out that Gawker and Weblogs Inc. (owners of TVS) are competitors? This is the second article I have noticed on TVS that backed Gawker (the first being the video with Jimmy Kimmel and the lady from Gawker on Larry King).

So I went over to check out their hit piece. When I got to the mention of friendster, Wolf Parade and I Heart Huckabees I had to check to make sure the date of the post wasn't 2005.

Way to be two years behind on the pop cultural references.

Hmm I thought about LumpyGs comment for a long time and then I finally got it.

You know I am from germany and for thirteen years in school I was taught that I am guilty for what "we" did 60 to 70 years ago.

Now since I don't know what to hate about jewish people I already wrote three different posts inquiring about why LumpyG wrote what he wrote - because I thought somebody could just hate Zach Braff's guts because they might just not like him.

And now, after almost half an hour of writing and deleting and re-editing my comment I finally got it - I remembered what jews were hated for back in the 1920s and 1930s here in germany. I actually had to read the german Wikipedia. They were accused of being greedy, rich and that they have large noses. Wow. I actually first thought that Lumpy might have pulled the race card unjustified... wow.

I guess there's not really a point in my comment but honestly I was quite baffled that there's still places in the world where jewish people are really hated and react to certain criticism because of it. To me, it was always just irritating that most of the sitcoms I watch are produced by people who have names that sound kind of german (you know, stuff I would find in my local phonebook).

It's kind of sad that in the US the criteria for hating jews are still that common that you can identify them as anti-semitism. I never got it until now. I guess i had about four years worth of WWII history classes in school where we talked about the atrocities and looking back I have to admit after a while it bored me. I always thought that it was unecessary to repeat it every year and thought that the lessons were useless. I guess they kind of were - I never learned why jews were hated - but in the end I am kind of glad about that.
