So now Peter Thiel is just being a dick? Trolling for ā€˜storiesā€™ that stoke his outrage against Gawker? I can think of many charities that need your money MORE Thiel.

Harder took ā€œno issue with the central thesis of the pieceā€”that Mr. Ivari has worked on Donald Trumpā€™s hair.ā€ Ivari is a taxidermist?

Had I known things were going to work out like this, I wouldā€™ve studied to become a political cartoonist. sighā€¦

Imagine Trumpā€™s Department of Homeland Security going after anyone who denigrates his features. This is not snark. Thankfully, heā€™ll never be in that position.

Probably.

Weā€™ll never see this much of his hatless head again, but I think thereā€™s some baldness going on. Definitely thinning.

@benthere You meant his hair, right?

@wwss The butler did it.

I guess the headline ā€œDonald Trump Has A Small Penisā€ would result in surgical drone strikes on the publisher if Trump is elected.

The letter, which Harder reportedly asked not be made public

Nice FU to Harder/Thiel.

Getting a little tired of the sensitive billionaire routine.

Probably wise just to try and make friends with that ā€˜thingā€™ on his head and back away slowly.

It was obviously SLAPP before, with Hulk and the inventor of email guy, but now itā€™s absolutely crystal fucking clear that these are nuisance lawsuits designed to bleed Gawker dry.

Gawker proper is garbage, but io9, gizmodo and lifehacker are occasionally worthwhile.

Trumpā€™s weave was sleeping with Hulk Hogan?!?!?!?!?

Weave or no weave, nothing can explain that color.

Everything else aside, hereā€™s hoping that the letter brings a little Streisand effect to the ā€œmicrocylinder intervention." Itā€™s a lovely phrase, and one Iā€™m sure can be applied to any number of Trumpā€™s anatomical areas.

Just because itā€™s fun to point and laugh at bigots and bullies, doesnā€™t mean it canā€™t be an effective political strategy.

Surprise, surprise. Peter Thiel is a thin skinned tRump supporter. Whoda thunk it.

Thin-skinned, gay Trump supporter who launched his career by gay-baiting.
Isnā€™t his middle name Omar?

Damn, I wish I was super-rich because Iā€™d put a blank check on the general counselā€™s desk and tell them to fight this one. If people canā€™t write about Trumpā€™s hair the plutocrats have won already. And you know that thingā€™s a weave and the office is on Trumpā€™s floor and has no public entrance, I mean, come on.

Thatā€™s not the only reason Iā€™d like to be rich, by the way. But itā€™s one.

Gawker should just do a chapter 7 bankruptcy. The employees could then just move a new website called Mawker.com and just continue what they have been doing under a new name. That is what Trump would do.

Which one - he looks like he colors it at home. Orange one day, blonde the next ā€¦ as natural as his skin tone.
