      Still around. They operate a bunch of other websites like Cracked, Know Your Meme, Fail Blog, etc.

      In 2016, they were bought by an Israeli company, Literally Media, along with EBaum’s World.

            Friendly reminder that the genocidal state of Israel and the Zionists who support them do not represent the entirety of the Jewish diaspora

            I know you kid, but I have seen this unironically with a bot on the DarkWeb forum Dread, which replaces company names with “jew” inserted into it, like “Google” replaced with “Jewgle”.

              that’s fucking hilarious… but sad they didn’t mean it ironically. I mean, Israel would never outright own Google because Google is already a back alley bitch for them.

                Your speech pattern sounds like my Floridian friend. Tell me, are you from Florida?

            Amazing how racists queue up to out themselves at the barest hint of a strongman leader.

              it’s amazing how someone can make a joke with three little letters and make everyone uncomfortable as fuck.

                “It was just a joke” - racists at the merest hint of pushback.
