A satirical website has launched that will help you push through your grief over the loss of the anti-establishment hero,Korean College Girl Room Salon Gawker.
This week, Gawkenappeared on the internet, and the people cheered. It claims it is based on a text-generating algorithm -- the GawkenNews Algorithm -- and promises to "open your mind to the future." It does this through a bunch of Gawker-esque posts that are written by bylines from the likes of Elon Musk, Elon Musk's Tesla, Peter Theil (sic), Peter Thiel's Fridge and even Tim Cook's Toaster.
SEE ALSO: Univision executives delete 6 Gawker Media postsPayPal founder Peter Thiel does not actually appear to be involved, one must be careful to note. Thiel, the Facebook board member and most definitely not the founder of Gawken, bankrolled Hulk Hogan's $140 million court case against Gawker for the publication of a clip of the wrestler's sex tape, which led to the site shutting down on Aug. 22.
Gawker, and most notably its now-shuttered vertical Valleywawg, published some of the most skeptical and brazenly negative writing about Silicon Valley, its companies and major figures.
Gawken now provides the counterpunch to that work.
Peter Theil, the Gawkenwriter, is definitely not Peter Thiel. The spelling is entirely different, you see, and according to Theil, the two have not even met each other.
Theil, the Gawkenfounder not the PayPal founder, told Mashablein an email that he was the sole founder of the site, and that it was not associated with Gawker.
"No, Gawkenhas nothing to do with Gawker. I have never even heard of Gawker," he wrote. "If people continue to suggest that Gawkenis tied to Gawkerin any way I am prepared to pursue legal action."
We have been warned.
Gawken is being run, according to Theil, in the depths of Silicon Valley. "I am currently running the site out of my office at home, and plan on moving into a larger dedicated office space in Palo Alto once they finish installing the indoor drainage system," he wrote.
On the website, you will also find Gawken's first foray into native advertising, with a piece by Brian White who is the Inventor of the Standing Couch™. This site is going places.
It is currently unclear who is actuallybehind the site, but the creator shared via email a link to a free copy of philosopher Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. An apparent favorite of Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder, and Peter Theil, the Gawkenfounder, but widely panned by Gawker.
Is it a clue or a way to a Gawken-inspired future? We may never know for sure.
A quick domain search showed that Gawken.com had been registered privately.
