For some, dancing on the graves of others is hobby sport. And that seems to be the case right this minute at NBC, where NBC Entertainment exec VP Teri Weinberg and Universal Media Studios president Katherine Pope have been removed. Pope, you'll recall, is the lady who suddenly started fielding the blame for the NBC network's low ratings numbers, when others thought it should be co-chair Ben Silverman whose reputation suffered. But at least some are celebrating (and chanting about) Pope's departure. Says one source: "I have worked for Katherine Pope from NBC for years and today could not be a finer day for all of us. Literally, we are all going out and celebrating tonight chanting 'the witch is dead. the witch is dead.' Everything that has gone sour–Lipstick Jungle, Heroes is this woman's fault. She is a terrible person who constantly screws over everyone. Finally NBC can do what they need to do to get it back strong. Everyone is having lay offs right now but this couldnt come at a better time–talk about a Christmas gift!" Interesting, because last summer, everyone seemed to be cheerleading Pope for saving NBC.

I swear if those people from the post below start clogging up this site with their annoying bullcrap or influence its editorial direction in any way I'll have to go to Gawker. And I really don't want to have to do that. I feel like my girlfriend just moved in with an annoying gay roommate.
you're either with annoying bullcrap or against it.
i'm sensing you're against it. 'tis a pity since many of us are grammar nazis too.
we could form a grammar nazi coalition. or you could go to gawker.
also, annoying "gay" roommate? um, what? because an annoying gay roommate is like totally worse than an annoying straight roommate?
::looks around::
yep. yep. this'll do just fine.
"…those people."
Here we go again!
1) People love to kick powerful women when they're down. I won't say it is sexism, but, you know, sexism.
2) We're here, we bring queers, get used to it.
3) I didn't know reading Jossip and Gawker were mutually exclusive. My bad.
4) Part of me feels like this is reverse psychology, because I totally want to comment MOAR N MOAAAAR!!
Grammar - this is a post about free to air tv. I'm not too sure about American television networks, but in Australia, the numbers watching free to air have dropped considerably, and the pay tv (cable) is booming. The reason is simple - asinine content on free to air - dipstick reality shows and the myriad CSI franchises.
As to your new-found friends who've dropped by from Molly..I've been watching their posts for the past year, and they seem to be very intelligent people, excellent wordsmiths, who like to cut loose and use humour. Be gentle with them.
Dear Grammar Nazi,
Bite me.
Grammar Nazi, we're new to the neighborhood. We're just walking around the block, trying to meet the neighbors.
We're baking a nice pecan pie. If you'd like to drop by and loosen up, we'll cut you a big piece.
If not, we'll just cut you into pieces. What?
I do enjoy my precan pie with a little grammar nazi sprinkled on top, unless you have frosting. I can't pass up frosting.
Pie's cooling on the windowsill. Now we just play the waiting game. They'll want to be our friends now, right?
Aw, nuts. Who needs friends.
::cuts pie into thirds, grabs cans of frosting::
ET, April, dig in.
Did I get any on me? That was good.
Frienz? I don need no stinkin' frienz. Other than the ones I followed here, that is.
Plus, Grammar Nazi, if that *is* your name…
ehh. I got nothin'
You may as well assimilate. It is useless to resist.
Grammar Nazi,
Snobbery is so passe. Get over yourself.
Best,
K
Something tells me they won't actually be using the word "Witch." NBC is filled with trash. The only decent show off the top of my head is 30 Rock. And for the love of Gods, will someone pull the plug on SNL already?!
Grammar Nazi, this site needs more people regardless of how gay they are. Didn't the other two sites shit down? This one probably isn't too far behind! BURN IT TO THE GROUND. SALT THE EARTH. NO GOSSIP WEBSITE SHALL EVER GROW HERE AGAIN.
p.s shit was a typo, but it works.
I like to shit things down. Typo appropriated!
Hi Grammar Hitler! Please:D to meet you. I'm British! Yes… yes the British did outsmart the nazis. Clever. So very clever.
Now why don't we shit things down with a little, hmmm… let me check my repertoire…. yes. Yes. This is appropriate….http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1o37x_faithless-mass-destruction_music
This is why you don't let women run anything except the household.
Oooooh! Someone is JELLIS! (and emasculated)
Something tells me that Mark has a lot of experience with women running.
From him.
Screw the bitch. If she didn't have the sense to deflect the blame off herself, she deserves what she got. Heard Mollygood got the axe. Good thing. The writing was starting to suck and those harpies in the comments section were more intolerant than Pallin on a moose hunt.
Wonder how long it will take Cord to sink Jossip?
Word of advice Cord: Start shaking shit up! Nobody likes a self-grandiose literary snob that can't connect with the people. College is over and you're in the real world. so wash the shit stains off your fingers and start getting exciting!
P.S. Fuck grammar. Just ask the English Lit major that is now working in the book section at Walmart.
That's funny. I work in an architecture firm, not a Walmart.
English Lit? Ask away. I have a BUTTLOAD of information to share. I DO!
Shlemeel, shlemahwhateverthefuck. Dig that spelling? Just sound it out. I don't have a shit load to share. Don't matter. You didn't fall thru the cracks. Congradufreakinlations! Shit. I give this site, what, maybe three months tops? Enjoy twatwaffles. Good luck on that great American novel. I would look forward to reading it, but, well, TAINT GONNA HAPPEN!
I had this creative writing teacher in college. Went on and on about this fucking novel he got published with an obscure house. Loved (and by loved, I mean the nap he induced on the entire class) his narrative on fucking some girl in the back of a pickup truck in the middle of the Gaza strip. I didn't know someone could make sex so boring. He rattled on and on. Total douche. They are the worst kind. The intellectual douche. Gimme a good old flag waving, gay hating shit bag from the trailer park ecosystem. At least I know where they are coming from.
"Gimme a good old flag waving, gay hating shit bag from the trailer park ecosystem. At least I know where they are coming from."
You're making it too easy. I can't even…
One more thing. bedbugsandballyhoo? Exactly what does that mean? Pick a better handle. Christ, every time when one of your posts pops up, I almost expect "witch-ee-pooh" to respond. You do realize that Martha Rae was a homophobe, don't you?
Yeah? How am I 'making it easy"? Put up or shut up.
Put out? Oh, put up. Okay. Whew.
Well, you are saying you are intensely familiar with gay-hating, trailer park shit bags (your words) because you understand where they are coming from.
The joke writes itself. Really? You don't see that? It's not a magic eye poster.
Janice, Andrew Dice Clay's less talented half-brother(sister) is just sad that s/he isn't a funny as he wants to be. But s/he is down-home and folksy (down with book learnin')? That counts for something?
Dearest grammear nazzzi,
Fuck yeaux.
Oh and for "I'm on a rant" they are actually called "screen names" not "handles". Maybe you should go back to the 70's.
ya mean jossip folks are paid?!!!! I thought it was a hobby!Why quit when the $$$ stops, you'll have to do something.
Janice? When did the words "intensely familiar" appear on my post? It was an example. Please learn how to read and COMPREHEND statements and not be so fucking reactionary. Let the shit soak in first, before you get on the soap box.
Oh, and Lisa? At least making an ATTEMPT at being funny is a fuck of a lot better than NOT BEING FUNNY AT ALL! At least I try. You, however, bring nothing to the table. Exactly how many responses do you get? I thought so….
36? Maybe you should go back to being interesting. Oh, never been? It's really nice. You should try it sometime.
Paraphrasing someone is not "exact words". Paraphrasing badly I might add.
Attempting and failing still makes you a failure. As does the notion that being an ass and getting responses equates to funny. Actually, it is worse than not being funny, as you make other people uncomfortable and get all angry and rant-prone when you're called on it.
Bein' rite, ur doin it rong.
Ooh, it's nahce in here!
IMARITY, can I call you that? We voted. You fail.
"more intolerant than Pallin on a moosehunt?"
what the hell does that even mean?
FAIL.
also, you're going for sheer number of responses? quantity over quality? seems to me that garnering multiple responses exclaiming "ASSHOLE!!!" is a pyrrhic victory indeed.
but that's just the opinion of this here intellectual douche.
Let my harpies goooooooooooooooooooo…
I'm telling you, try being concise. You could have gotten all that in in one post. Rather than running around like a 5 year old who's had too much sugar having a temper tantrum for more ice-cream slamming its bedroom door over and over and over.
condense dude.
It also sort of defeats the purpose of being on a rant. Still fail.
Intolerant on a moose hunt? Sarah is intolerant to the moose being hunted as likened to you shrews being intolerant to differing opinions. Pass. You fail. Try again. Please try to think this time.
It's better than no victory at all, ass wipe.
The moose wants to live. Sarah wants to kill it. I want to express my freedom of speech and you all want to stifle it. Makes perfect sense.
I'MOARITY, I don't believe we've met. I'd appreciate you not calling me by my first name, please. It makes me feel weird. So, thanks, but no thanks.
Best,
Mrs. Pallin
Moose Huntress Harpy
Um, what are you talking about? I know you're all "on a rant" and everything but you really aren't making much sense. K bye!
I am the victor! Got you shit bags cornered? Great job, 62. Instead of rebutting just kiss me off and say bye bye. What is the problem with you people? Are you so goddamn stuck in your own ideologies that you cannot fathom another point of view? You guys are EXACTLY the same as the right wing nuts. Probably worse, since you all claim this "tolerance" bullshit. At least the wing nut is the wing nut, and doesn't make such "feel good" claims. Well. O.K. Bye to you too. Nice to know I am THE ONLY open minded person that has posted on this soon-to-be-closed-down site. K bye!
62? Huh?
Now see, to me it seems as though you're the one who's on the attack. Loosen up a little. We come in peace. Or you can continue on your rant; whatever makes you happy. K BYE!
52 ass munch. I made an error. God forbid! Glad to know you are reading. By the way, I know it's you, stopthemadness. Slithering under another name, because, God forbid, you might contaminate the sanctity of your user name? Just give it up. Grow some balls.
You don't come in peace. That's the problem. You come in intolerance. It exist on both sides, you know.
LET'S GET THIS FUCKER UP TO ONE HUNDRED! BORE CORD MIGHT ACTUALLY GET SOME ADVERTISING! SICK OF LOOKING AT THE BARE PINK SCREEN!
so thats a no then, to condensing your posts to at least fain intelligence. ok cool.
thanks for playing.
HEY I'VE GOT AN ARGUMENT FOR ALL OF YOU! CAN U USE A CLOROX STAIN REMOVER PEN ON SHIT STAINS? 'CAUSE I REALLY WANT TO KNOW. I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO KNOW.
KANYE
Thanks for playing? That is sooooo stopthemadness! Gotcha.
Speaking of WTF does that mean? Could you please explain comment 59? I'm at a loss on that one.
Hahahhaha. Check plus.
I'm not saying it was a dumb comment. It was just a TISH over my head. By "tish" of course, I mean like 35 thousand feet over my head.
I REALLY REALLY NEED TO KNOW PEOPLE. SOMEONE JUST THREW ONE ON STAGE! SHOULD I USE THE PEN OR TELL HIM TO EAT SHIT AND DIE! I AM SO CONFUSED!
KANYE
Jesus, Alice. You're fucking nutty too.
Ilz is teaching you right!
I was laughing at the kanye comment.
April told IOARITY to make his posts more succinct rather than multi-posting. He continued. That's it.
when
you post
like this
it ruins
your
Post 46.
Oh. Hahha. I jumped the gun on that one. Continue on your rant, April!
credibility.
also this is not STM. But thank you for the compliment. Shes bad ass.
no one is trying to silence you. you come in a guns blazing asswipe people lash back. did you know you can have different opinions and not be an asshole about it? well maybe not you, but people can.
Kanye,
In response to your queries, I would have to advise that when dealing with such precarious situations such as yours, you should apply the pen to said shit stain, using a circular motion while rubbing the pen firmly on the stain. At the same time, admonish the pen thrower with your "eat shit and die" anthem. It is sure to get much applause from your grateful fans. As a plus, you will be a hit at the after party. Use cold water when washing those undergarments!
Much Love,
Martha
On a further note, multi posting can be considered rude to some comment section experts. Oh my goodness. Looks like I'm guilty. I gather it's cat o' nine tails for me! Thank goodness I fashioned one before dinner. Enjoy your holiday crafts!
Martha
April? Pull the stick out of your ass. This is the internet, not your high school debate team. Relax.
Are we gonna drive this fucker up to a hundred or not? comments people, comments!
75. You told April to continue with her "rant". Tee Hee.
Well, her imitation rant. April spreads the love, not the hate.
April spreads a lot of "shit". Love ain't on of 'em. Unless, of course, it's another left wing nut job that totally agrees with her. Doesn't make her a lover. Makes her a fascist.
Apparently, this is about quantity, people.
GET.
ON.
IT.
And this is my high school debate team.
Plan/counterplan, yeaux.
Can't we all just get along? We just moved to a new home… let's try to leave the baggage at the door.
a fascist is a welcome guest to any holiday event. Dinner conversation is not hampered with those pesky "differing opinions", and those yuletide ovens are always on "full blast", to ensure a warm and cozy yuletide event. Deutsch land, Deutsch land, uber alles!
Martha
did I use "yuletide" twice? Bad, bad Martha. You horrible, ugly, shity, tangly busted girl. It's the enema bag for you, nasty little cookie burner. Hold every last drop until the new year!
Martha
O.K. I know I posed the challenge of getting to 100. Could we kind of get on it? I think it would be cool for Jossip. maybe get some advertising and not close down shop? We also need to keep posting to 100 and get as many hits on this site as possible. advertisers look at that shit. They don't look at bitchy little arguments about non-sequential shit. I'm not just doing this for Cord, I'm doing it for us. Unless, of course, you want to go to Perez for gossip from now on. I know I don't.
Oh, and I don't work for Cord or anyone else here. I just hate the fact that these guys are going to go under, when can't-spell-for-shit bitchy plagaristic crappy writer Perez is raking in the bucks. REVOLUTION NOW!
Viva la revolucion!
Perez?
Yeah, I'm going to go with an abject neaux, thankyouverymuch. ;)
100 is shit, we've hit 500 on MG before. Also, I Think Its Really Cool When People Capitalize The First Word In Their Screen Names.
Oh, and we're not going anywhere. SO GET USED TO IT!
O.K. Cait? You are getting a bit over my head again. I'm a simple guy. could ya please slow it down for me. think of it as helping the less intellectually fortunate. Mae? Proof's in the pudding. Or in commenting in this case. We need to work on this shit if it will be successful. Oh, and hits, lots and lots of hits. close the browser, then come back on. REVOLUTION INTERNET!
I have to pose a question. What nationality is Cord? Winner gets to roast me over the coals.
Fire up the Bar-bee, hags! Its time for a cook out!
Full disclosure: I'm not even half black. My mother is of German descent and my father is part black and part American Indian, an ethnic pairing appearing in my lineage thanks to a ribald ancestor who had a stint as a Buffalo Soldier. I am an amalgam, an alloy part, and at the time I didn't feel comfortable saying that to people who seemed to be hungry for a, yes, black or white answer. My skin tone and indecision were one taupe mass."
mae is the winner! Mae, could you do me a small favor and lay off the bbq sauce. I have sensitive skin. Well, as Mae shoves the spit up my ass (I've done a preemptive lube), everybody keep commenting!
I don't like BBQ sauce. I like dry rubs. Thank you very much. Now open your mouth so I can shove this pepper in it. (that was dripping with innuendo, but I promise I don't mean it that way.)
i havent spread shit on this site except a request that people STOP BITCHING about being silenced when they are acting like complete douche bags LEFT WING OR RIGHT.
what is up with the presumption here we wont listen to anyone but leftwing nuts. im consufued WE ARENT TALKING ABOUT POLITICS.
Also, this isnt a debate team but leaving 4 or 5 comments for one response is difficult on the eyes and makes conversation hard to follow. Plus to do that and THEN piss and moan that no one listens, no one cares, blah blah blah, whine whine whine, rant rant rant, boo fucking hoo - well thats counter intuitive isnt it.
and yea MY PANTIES ARE IN FUCKING BUNCH,
Also (this is about quantity, not quality right?)
what is your problem? As far as I can tell Rumour has it's comment about working at an architect firm set you off - unless you are grammar nazi. You have had like 4 handles, but grammar nazi seems a lot better put together than you. I'm just sayin'. Her comment is funny. So seriously dude: WHAT THE FUCK?
I read all your comments - you are on the attack. Then y get attacked, then declare victory (without explaining why - PS saying you are something, like the victor, doesn't make it so. Im a multimillionaire. did it work? did it???), then attack us again for only agreeing with left wing nuts. Im confused, does your attacking stand for ALL OTHER POEPLE who aren't left wing nuts? I don't think so. "Are you so goddamn stuck in your own ideologies that you cannot fathom another point of view?" The ONLY view point you have expressed (except the one about ms pope which received no criticism) is that you don't like us. and you did so with asinine insults well yea people will try to silence you if you act like a douchenugget.
you think pope deserved what she got? Good. No one fought with you. so why be a douchebag? You are pulling the intolerane card just to pull it. "INTOLERANCE! You dont listen to me becuase I dont agree with you" Well damn right i dont listen to people when i dont agree with thier assessment of me.
and for the record, i dont have a stick up my ass. hes just fucking annoying to follow.
*fist pump for april*
101!
It really is awfully pink here. And Lisa nº1 is right on the money (back there in comment 5)… Women do seem to make the best scapegoats, at least in terms of vitriol spewing from the angered masses.
Got a long bloody way to go yet.
I should've known xD
"101! YOU GO 101!"
Two points….this was about crap tv programmes (apparently), and there seems to be a lack of originality, of freshness, amongst overpaid writers and execs. The Hills…is that fresh, innovative, or a total bunch of codswallop written by Paris Hilton clones?
Secondly…Sar seems to be missing in action. I think everybody here would prefer her gentle touches of quirkiness, to simple rants from a simpleton. I didn't mean you, Cait.
Maybe if you offer up a gift of the silkiest sheets and fine foods sar will grace you with her holy presense.
Heh, someone is all about winning a game no one else is playing. How sad is it that even when no one else is playing, that person still loses.
But in relation to a battle of wits, reducing one's opponent to an ad hominem attack? I think that makes me the victor. Ass wipe, 49!
Sidenote: before using the word "intolerant" and invoking your freedom of speech, you should probably do a little research in to what each of those mean.
Again, ur doin it rong!
Who says "ass wipe" anymore, anyway? Ass wipe is so five years ago. Now ass bag… That's nouveau!
Some people just need to get more edumacated I reckon.
I haven't even made 5 posts here, and I already have a secret admirer! I know it took me at least 10 over on MG.
It's a rare honor, Mike.
A rare gift, indeed.
I quite like to slither. I also quite like that you mistook Addicted to Addiction for me. I think she's chock full of asskickery.
You obviously follow my comments closely enough to know what is "so" me. Flattering. I welcome you to watch and learn. When you are ready for a debate that involves argument and counterargument, rather than pathetic attempts at wit and childish ad hominem attacks, I'll be waiting right here at Jossip Initiatives. Until then, dear Sybil, I must away.
When stm says, "ad hominem," it gets me all hot.
Whatever. Bye Jossip. I'm out. Wing nuts exist on both spectrum's of political ideology. Another one bites the dust.
