“After months of build-up, News Corp. will unveil The Daily, its iPad-based news product, tomorrow morning at Manhattan’s Guggenheim museum, in front of an audience filled with dozens of reporters,” Jeff Bercovici reports for Forbes.
“None of those reporters will be reporting for Gawker Media sites, however; the blog network has apparently been banned,” Bercovici reports. “Numerous requests by writers from Gizmodo and Gawker to get on the guest list were met with shrugs from Rubenstein, the PR firm handling the event.”

MacDailyNews Take: TS, Gawker. You play with fire, you risk being burned. Go find a nip slip photo to run instead.

What do female pigs have to do with it????
Gawker media, with their boss, Nick Denton, pride themselves in bottom feeding and muckraking. Their primary purpose is to take the essence and the philosophy of gossip and apply it to various fields (half of their sites are regular gossip sites for SF, Hollywood and NY, then gossip about tech, cars, sports, video games, Sci Fi, porn, business…). He encourages his staff to seek out scandalous, salacious and compromising material. The guy obviously figured out how to make easy money; there are large masses out there who love gossip in every shape.
ok, I’ll bite…
What’s a nip slip photo?
A “sow” is a female pig who has had a litter of piglets. A “gilt” is the female pig prior to having a litter.
bbb:
bottom-dwelling gossip media loves to snap female celebrities in situations where their breast gets accidentally exposed (when their nipple slips out, hence nip slip).
Screw Jizzmodo
Yuck
If I see one more thing about The Daily, I’m going to close my eyes and scream.
breeze, you have them stitching instead of planting.
bbb, nip slip photo = just what it says, wardrobe malfunction nipple flash. Usually some celebrity female.

Sow that wheat by hand. Then reap the wheat when the plant is mature and let the grains dry out.
Nip slips are nice, but you just can’t beat a good poontang peek.
“A “sow” is a female pig who has had a litter of piglets. A “gilt” is the female pig prior to having a litter.”
And a “swine” is a certain mayor of New York City.

Autocorrect and iPad keyboard sometimes go wild as do the fingers, thanks
So theoretically, where would one go in order to find these so called “nip slips”? Not that I care in the least bit.
PS:

@ I CAN HAZ LANGUAGE?,
Wouldn’t a nip slip be a geisha’s under garment?
Gawker Media and News International belong with each other in the landfill site of last century gutter journalism. Pandering to the retard demographic won’t work on the iPad – should’ve have targeted the higher percentile no-clue crowd buying android and winmo.
Good. Those idiots deserve to be banned.
I can feel the love! Could not have happen to such nice guys at Gawker/Gizmodo.
