Think of it as though you're <i>viewing</i> the article on Deadspin, but it's a Gizmodo article. So you're seeing your star (in Cobra's case) because you have one on Deadspin, but your comment is pink because you're not approved on Gizmodo.<br /><br />This caused no end of drama in one of the early Grierson-Leitch posts, when some Gawkertard got moved off-thread and was all SINCE WHEN DO THE COMMENT NINJAS GET TO MODERATE GAWKER!!1! and the ninjas were all THIS IS DEADSPIN!!1! and the Gawkertards were all BUT I'M VIEWING IT ON GAWKER!!1! and the ninjas were all OH SO YOU MUST BE A STUPID THEN.A Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-25421875530774553382012-03-30T16:02:57.835-04:002012-03-30T16:02:57.835-04:00Yeah, it frustrates me too.Yeah, it frustrates me too.Coney Islandhttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kulnm8Gjhh8/TRGkeNiXXGI/AAAAAAAAV_Y/wXBPHwPwn1Y/s1600/traffic_cone.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-78668928360595319002012-03-30T15:55:03.208-04:002012-03-30T15:55:03.208-04:00^(@ Gamboa)^(@ Gamboa)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-34094613773578647762012-03-30T15:54:23.649-04:002012-03-30T15:54:23.649-04:00In my head, I think it's the same as using tir...In my head, I think it's the same as using tired subject matter (i.e. Sandusky), if you are going to do it, it had better be damn good. I also think it helps for the joke to be (at least tangentially) related to the post. AOBTS's great Twin-Towers joke was in a post about 9-11. However, we've seen that there are exceptions to every rule as well. I can't think of a specific example, but I know I've laughed pretty hard at a joke like that just coming completely out of left field, usually based on a random line of text.Talibs Rap Sheetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-66854901631200758572012-03-30T15:52:33.248-04:002012-03-30T15:52:33.248-04:00He also put in a subliminal message telling us to ...He also put in a subliminal message telling us to overthrow the government.

And I've done some notably tasteless stuff. This is not a bash on Freeman at all. Just an interesting discussion (to me anyway).<br /><br />I just wish I could articulate my "line" on these things, even to myself.
