Round three: “Gawker”:http://gawker.com/news/heebie-jeebies/gawker-apologizes-to-the-jews-280395.php apologizes to Jew.
I’m glad that they understood that we understood the joke. And I’m glad that they, unlike one of their commenters, understand that
thanks for posting that, jessie!
oh, and since i don’t have commenter privileges on gawker, i’ll respond here: good job guys, you managed to be even more offensive in your response post than in the original one! you really deserve a pat on the back for adding to the hate-fest that is the
