Fitting end to that place. The lawsuit by the kid would have put em out of business anyway if he wins. They should have made better hires.

I cannot cheer loudly enough for some of these POS media sites to go dark.

Vice, Buzzfeed and Deadspin. All 100% crap.

Not sure, but I imagine the lawsuit would have named the parent company, G/O Media, as well as Deadspin.

G/O Media also shut down a separate subsidiary, the feminist website Jezebel, back in November. They couldn't find a buyer for that one.

Vice Media also shut down last week. So much winning in the social news space.
