Hulk Hogan Judge And Jury Consider It Relevant To Ask Gawker Editor If She's A Whore
Now imagine his peener : (
Are you in The Media? Do you have strong Opinions on how many millions of dollars Gawker is going to lose to Hulk Hogan for posting video of Hogan smothering Not His Wife in layers of the world's machoest man flab? Also, did you fuck your way to the top? Wait, WHAT? Why am I even asking you that! Oh no good reason at all, but if the cool jurors in the Hulk Hogan case are asking former Gawker editor Emma Carmichael if she ever did gross sex stuff with her bosses, then we figure we might as well ask you too.
(Full disclosure: I have never slept with my bosses. But a couple of my employees can't say the same .)
(AWWWWW YEAHHHHH.)
Tell us about it, Tampa Bay Times!
Throughout the day, the judge encouraged members of the jury to submit questions to witnesses on the stand, a practice that some attorneys said was unusual. In one particularly astonishing moment, the jury asked Emma Carmichael, 26, editor-in-chief of another Gawker Media website, Jezebel, whether she had slept with either Daulerio or Denton, while working for them.
Although Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Pamela Campbell has at times dismissed jurors' questions as irrelevant or misdirected, she allowed this one.
Now, see, after a few minutes of Being Mad About This Thing -- a woman editor asked out of fucking nowhere if she'd ridden the Train To AJ Daulerio's Bonetown (Nick Denton's train, obviously, goes through a different tunnel) -- we get what they were going for. If Hulk Hogan's sex life is everyone's business, as Gawker Media is likely spending millions of dollars in legal fees to maintain, then we guess maybe Emma Carmichael and AJ Daulerio can see how that feels with people asking shitty, invasive questions about their sex lives.
EXCEPT NOPE NUH UH GO RIDE A FAT SLIMY PONY DICK, HULK HOGAN JUDGE AND JUROR. By which I mean: surely you were aware it has become passe to insinuate a woman has moved up in the ranks of her field only due to her related talents in ankle-grabbing and knob-slobbing. Had you asked the question of AJ Daulerio, who wrote the piece, instead of asking the woman who merely copy-edited it, we might have had a fine chortle over your GOTCHAing Daulerio's goose and/or gander and how he likes it when his bedclothes are disturbed by rancid gossips. But that is not what you did, and now you will go down in history, or at least a good hour of SCATHING social media, as right common fuckswallows, and everybody hates you, and they should.
