Subject: Deadspin is destroying my soul

From: Michael Chester To: Erik Malinowski

For a long time I never even used to read Deadspin, I just thought it was some TMZ-sports bullshit that only put out tabloid shit. Before long I found Deadspin creeping into my killing time at work website rotation and fell in love. I never thought I would hate ESPN until I started seeing what true sports media could be like without having to gobble corporate knob. Then a short time ago you started to change. The most obvious of which was the comments. I’ve never posted a comment but always loved catching something hilarious at the end of an otherwise mundane story. Yeah the new comment section sucks but thats not why I read the site to begin with. But then, tonight it happened; I clicked on the link to a story and was forced to allow a bloodsucking fucking popup banner for Breaking Bad sit on my screen for what appeared to be 20 minutes before I could read the story. Deadspin has officially killed everything I ever loved about it. I fucking hate those ads that make you count down until they disappear, every person who works at Deadspin hates those fucking ads, the people that make those fucking ads hate those fucking ads. I just want to know why you’ve done this. I want to know who made this call. Is the money really that much better for that bullshit? Fuck. I feel like I just caught my parents putting the Christmas presents underneath the tree.

great read today barry, enlightening as ever

But what if—just what if i don’t love with every fiber of my being men who put their penises inside the anal cavity of other men?

antiheterospin promotes the idea that no higher form of life exists than an openly gay human being..

how can i learn to love homosexuality as much as homosexualspin does?

sick balls,

From: Ben Flint To: Erik Malinowski

Hi Erik- I was wondering if you could tell me how you could possibly put your name on work like this. I mean, not the actual content, I didn’t read it. I just meant the first line of the story. I take it that you are trying to be a journalist, which is whatever, but I mean fuck man.. Come on.... You’re telling me that you are already such a literary giant that you can’t be bothered to fucking proofread your work? Shit, not even the whole thing. The FIRST FUCKING line. The THIRD FUCKING word. I know this a retardedly stupid email to send to you, but I just don’t care. You get to write for a living, a profession that millions of people would love to have. And yet you obviously take it completely for granted.

DEADSPIN!
