    I have to believe there are still some follow-ups to be done on this Farrah Abraham thing.

      Don't let them pull you to the dark side, Hamilton. Stay literate, please! Don't forget how to write sentences and paragraphs!

      I'm sure you're just biding your time until you can revisit the whole story in terms of socioeconomic injustice as opposed to just, you know, anal sex.

    Let me guess: Neetzan Zimmerman put this list together.

    I kid because I see John Cook did, but DAMN, Neetzan, them's some numbers.

      I was thinking the same thing. I know someone gotta nice Xmas bonus this year. It was also a great year to be a Zimmerman.

      True! My bad, confused it with "Gawker Media" for a second there.

    This is depressing.

    We care 10,934,346 times more about Farrah Abraham (Top Post #1) than Nelson Mandela (Least Popular, #2).

      You can't jerk off to Nelson Mandela. (Well, I guess you can, but you know what I mean.)

      Mandela's hospitalization got more than 1 click, so we actually care 6,506 times more about boobs than Mandela

    It was kind of squicky to be able to see Gawker's live top story data. "Oh, look, 150 sad weirdos are jerking it the Farrah Abraham post eight months after it was published. Must be a slow jerking it day. Usually it's got twice that much traffic at optimum jerking it times."

      I always thought that was the creepiest thing and I'm a dude. They should re-engage that feature; it's nice to know where all the weirdos are hanging out.

      If Gawker is going to judge itself by this, then welcome to Buzzfeed 2. No offense to Neetzan, who I like very much. But Hamilton's Unemployment Series was actual fricking public service and far more valuable to humanity than a bunch of stupid viral videos.

      Humbug on popularity contests. This is like declaring Kim Kardashian the most interesting person of the year. Fuck that noise.

          Good thing that Gawker's insufferable resident utopian socialist didn't make the cut.
