Scott Adams doesn't always post on his Dilbert Blog on weekends, but today I guess he got some good news that he couldn't wait to post about.
Apparently Gawker did something in the past that rubbed Scott the wrong way because he dislikes the site, and he decided to post his quasi-celebration over the news that the site was forced to file for bankruptcy following the loss of the Terry "Hulk" Hogan lawsuit.
Hooray for censorship!
The biggest shock, as noted in the comments is that Adams took his mouth off Donald Trump's cock long enough to post about something else than his beloved candidate.
I recall Adams posting that he had a personal issue with Gawker but I don't think he posted the details of that vendetta.
Adams, of course, claims that anyone who disagrees with the court decision is defending pornography and sexual abuse. He accuses those who defend Gawker of trying to protect themselves from similar litigation. It couldn't possibly be a belief in the opposition of censorship, could it?
Why couldn't someone on the other side accuse Adams of supporting Hogan? That guy who had sex with the wife of his fan/friend, in front of the fan, while being video taped, presumably for money? On top of the fact that Hogan is a professional wrestler, which is really just fake violence for children. I'm not even sure why people tolerate professional wrestling as a thing. It's a fraud. It promotes violence. Sounds great for kids! I know some adults are fans as well, but I think we can all agree that's very sad.
The supreme court already decided this issue, as documented in the film "The People vs. Larry Flynt." People made the same argument at that time, if you're against censorship you're for the pornography of Hustler Magazine. It was a false equivalency then and it's just as false now. You don't have to agree with what Gawker does to agree that censorship, especially when it's promoted by an individual, a billionaire who has a vendetta, is probably a really bad idea.
Edit: Turns out Adams' problem with Gawker was that they exposed the fact that he had been commenting on his own site as a user called "PlannedChaos." Therefore the Dilbert creator claims the Gawker "ruins lives." Srsly.
