In case you missed it for the five minutes it was up, we have a screencap of the hardcore porn that found its way onto the front page of Gawker earlier today (thanks, Doree!).
We’ve been scratching our heads trying to figure out why, exactly, Nick Douglas would do something like this. Here’s what we came up with:
Nick Douglas is trying to get rid of the pink ghetto. Nick, we appreciate your attempts to destigmatize sexuality and sexual content, but you might want to rethink your strategy. Baby steps, kid. Baby steps.
Nick Douglas secretly wants to work for Fleshbot. He’s already made the transition from Valleywag to Gawker. Maybe he’s trying to get a third branch of the Gawker Media empire under his belt?
Nick Douglas just doesn’t get it. He was fired once for shooting his mouth off… could it be that he still hasn’t learned proper blogging etiquette?
Oh, and in case you were wondering what (fake) Nick Denton is thinking about all this…

Hilarious. This post is such shameless linkbait, I can’t believe Douglas didn’t write it himself.

Actually, I believe this post is too current to be the work of Nick Douglas.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:28 pmThat’s okay, as fun as it was with Lux, I’ll leave the repurposing of Viviane’s Sex Carnival and a few Google News Alerts to you guys.

May 5th, 2008 at 8:49 pmNot to be utilitarian and boring regarding this “hype,” but did someone simply hit “publish to Gawker” by mistake on the mighty Gawker Media publishing system?

If Fleshbot writers had access to Gawker… oh man. I don’t even want to imagine the havoc we might wreak.
