Hate-reading is an activity that's, well, exactly what it says it is. Have you ever found yourself visiting a website, Twitter feed, or Facebook page for the express purpose of ridiculing — or indulging your disdain for —the author and/or content? Then you're hate-reading. And unless you're a saint with limited Internet access, you're probably guilty of doing it at some point. More »

New York Republicans who would like to unseat Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand thought they'd found their knight in wire-rimmed armor in entrepreneur Marc Cenedella. He had the youth, the vigor, the tough talk... the bizarre blog that trafficked in sexism, drug references, and unfunny jokes about Omarosa's wearing a banana hammock. More »

If you happen to be surfing the web and stumble upon a blog called Put Your Beard In My Mouth — a site filled with photos of beards, bearded dudes, and Ke$ha putting said beards into her mouth — you should know that it's not some kind of crazy site made by a fan obsessed with beards and the pop singer. It's no regular, run-of-the-mill tumblr blog celebrating a combination of random things, like Bea Arthur Mountains Pizza or Tom Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. The site is curated by none other than Ke$ha herself. You've been warned. More »

After Forever 21 threatened to sue a fashion blogger for making fun of its clothes, the blogger, Rachel Kane, was initially cowed. Even though parody is generally protected speech, even though Forever 21's claims that readers might somehow mistake the joke site, WTForever21, for the corporate homepage were patently ludicrous, even though the very idea of Forever 21 prosecuting a copyright case instead of defending one raised eyebrows, the prospect of engaging in a long legal battle with a famously litigious and deep-pocketed company was not enticing. "Unless I can work something out with Forever 21, June 10 will be the last day for WTForever21.com," she wrote in an email earlier this week, adding, "I'm so disheartened by this." Well! Kane has changed her mind. More »

Blogs Natalie Munroe, the teacher who was suspended after her personal venting came to light, "While I never in a million years would have guessed that this many people would ever see my words, and I didn't even intend them to, I stand by what I wrote and I think it's good that people are aware now." What she wrote included referring to students as "rude, lazy, disengaged whiners." More »
