3:10p - TL;DR, Douchebags, and Stalkerblogs; OH MY!
I'll try to keep it short.
OK, so there's this guy named Eric Schaeffer who acts and directs and stuff, and also suffers from manorexia. But most importantly, he wonders why he's still single. Let's see if we can figure it out, shall we? Is it the cutoff age for his potential mate so she can still pop out his puppies (36, when he's 45)? Is it the fact that he says "Namaste" all the time? Is it the tl;dr? I wonder.
But Gawker doesn't wonder, they know. It's because Eric's a douchebag, which they painstakingly let us know. Over and over again.
Unfortunately, the rise in blog hits alerted Eric that something might be awry. So, he lets Gawker know that "I AM YOU"...and also that he practices deep-throating dildos. No, really. Scroll down. Gawker says nanny-nanny-poo-poo (I'm totally paraphrasing. Almost.)

You'll have to forgive me for this one, I didn't witness the commercial or the original site first hand, but it is too perfect.
During the Superbowl, Snickers airs a commercial in which two men accidentally kiss while eating a Snickers bar, and proceed to rip off pieces of chest hair to prove their straightness.
On their website (now removed) they have three other endings for viewers to vote on (one with the two men drinking motor oil and windshield wiper fluid, one with them beating each other up, and one with another man walking in and asking if there's "room for three in this Love Boat"), to be aired during a NASCAR event. They also had reactions of football players from the Colts and the Bears being disgusted and/or amused by the two men accidently kissing (which someone uploaded to YouTube, and the second part).
Naturally, GLAAD was pissed about the obvious/implied homophobia and raised enough noise to get them to take down the site. A popular liberal blog called for the members to spam Mars's (the parent company) with complaints, and a Portland Mercury blogger writes a response to say they're overreacting and misinterpreting.
There's wank in the article comments, there's wank in the YouTube comments, I honestly have no idea where to even start pulling choice wanky comments from.
It's already in the Wikipedia entry. I've got my fingers crossed for wank in the discussion.
Important related news: The Colts' head coach promoted a homophobic fund raiser.
