Gizmodo editors take advantage of shared infrastructure to post Tubgirl on rival blog Kotaku.
Next time, stick to Rickrolling, idiots.
Possibly Not The Brightest Idea

My biggest shock was reading the Kotaku site and finding out that they have a reputation to maintain at all.
Every article I see posted there is a digg link containing some overly hyped, speculative, one-paragraph drivvel surrounded by lipstick to complement the pig-site’s dress and advertising. All this is followed by the usual LOLROXXOR dude comments that seem to flow from Digg these days regardless.
Tubgirl is a step up, at least it’s honest.
I think you give Kotaku too much credit.
Very happy I missed all the excrement. Er…excitement. Whatever.
Destructoid fans laugh at Kotaku. A lot.
I think Kotaku is a shitty site, but not shitty enough to deserve a tubgirl. Still, it’s the internet and there are jerks on the internet so it’s bound to happen.
I’ll never understand the gaming blog worlds ethics.
It’s qute simple, D-one. If it has a throat, they’ll cut it. If it dosn’t have a throat, they’ll pull the head until it does or the head comes off.
Maybe we need a “time to tubgirl” like Second Life’s “time to cock”?
I don’t think “time to cock” has its origins in second life, actually. I remember some UO developer (Pretty sure it was Raph) claiming that one of the first things they saw when they opened up the servers to the public was the word “Fuck” spelled out with.. I think it was fish?
I’m pretty sure ‘time to cock’ comes to us courtesy of Jeff Freeman.
Blah… I know where it comes from, but it was inspired by Second Life’s flying cock issue and rooted in Raph’s Description of the word FUCK being written out in fish patties back in the day.
So, I ask… do blogsites need a “time to tubgirl” post of some sort?
Shacknews, Ve3d, Rock Paper Shotgun, GamesetWatch
Those are the blog/blog like news portals of the gaming world that run circles around joystiq, destructoid and kotaku.
I still read those last three there. But they all seem to have the same content, the most readers, the most ad’s, and the most crap because of it. Destructoid is full of itself. Kotaku is like copypasta haven, and joystiq is like a combo of the two.
Sites I never go to though? 1up and IGN. Havn’t visited at all my whole life. : )
Gamespot fanboy here though since like ’98 ish…
