Screenhead FAQ

READ MORE: Announcements

1. How does this site work? What is a “blog?” How can I use one of these things to make Dan Rather look silly?

   Instant gratification is the needle on the compass, here. A blog is a constantly updated website where the content is organized by date and the new stuff appears at the top of the page. The word “blog” is similar to “magazine” in that it refers to a sort of design rather than the content within, but has come to imply a kind of content. The word “blog” mostly implies a one-person operation with all the journalistic standards of your average bus station crack whore.

2. Just how swayed are you by the paying advertisers?

   All ads are clearly identifiable as ads, and editorial content is separate and objective. Once a week we thank paying advertisers, but we tell you right then and there that’s what we’re doing.

3. I get around on the internet, and I want to hip you to something would really suit the site, but who needs all that attention?

   We’ll only identify you if you ask us to.

4. Who publishes this site?

   Screenhead is published by Gawker Media. Similar to a brick and mortar publishing house, but without all the dead trees or the hastily buried interns out back who were willing to drink anything handed them just to fit in. The other fine websites published by Gawker Media include Fleshbot, Defamer, Jalopnik, Wonkette, Gizmodo, Kotaku, and oddly enough, Gawker. Uzbek child bride trader Nick Denton is the chief mucky muck about these parts. That Frood knows where his towel is, so to speak. Choire Sicha, however, is the one who actually does the work at Gawker, while Nick just basically stops counting his rare coin collection only long enough to check in and intimidate people with his height.

5. Choire Sicha once shot a man just for snorn’.

   I’m not saying yes and I’m not saying no.

6. Who writes this thing? Why should we care?

   Much like Goatse before him, Dong Resin is a product of the internet. His intermittently popular personal website spits up the occasional quotable quip. He is mostly useless.

7. Those people in the personal ads which show up on Gawker give me the creeps.

   Yes. And just think- they’re the cute ones.
