In my many internet travels, as I am a well oiled nomad of the internet, I happened upon an angry little man named Samit Sakar, who currently is working under the great shamed anus that is Polygon (Gamergate, anyone?). He's lamenting over the ruling in favor of Hulk Hogan against Gawker. For this invasion of privacy: The damages awarded to Mr. Bollea (Hogan's legal last name) on Friday were compensatory: $55 million for economic harm and $60 million for emotional distress. Punitive damages will be established separately, which raises the prospect that Gawker will have to submit to a detailed examination of its finances in court so the jury can assess the scale of the damages. And for his apparent support for Gawker and their warped belief that leaking sex tapes is perfectly legit news, he's getting shit on quite thoroughly on Twitter. Two of my choice picks: juice ‏@juicechugger 16h16 hours ago lmoa theres a huge difference between leaking a celebrity sex tape and a serious scandal get fucking real @SamitSarkar But of course, Twitter didn't stop there. A user posted this super helpful link for all too see. Such a shame that Sarkar can't delete content fast enough, eh? I'll admit, I did to a point and laugh when I seen this guy works for Polygon. Does ANYONE take that company serious anymore? So, what's anyone's thoughts on this latest round of Polygon stupidity? I didn't see this posted anywhere else, so feel free to nuke it if it's floating around on some part of the site I don't even bat an eye at.
