Yesterday, Page 6 popped a vein over Gawker’s snarking. Today, Jessica Coen gives Page 6 some advice:
Thesaurus.com is my top bookmark, and I suggest you make it the same on your browser. Then you needn’t use words like “snarky” over and over again. Say I’m contemptous, irritable, cranky, cocky, insolent, sneering. Call me a dimwitted bitch, for all I care. Just don’t use “snark” twice in the same item.

Cute, but how long until we get an acknowledgement of this here on the blog:
July 17,2005 | BIRMINGHAM, England — Ten days after Islamic radicals carried out deadly attacks on the London transport system, Britain’s largest Sunni Muslim group on Sunday issued a binding religious edict, a fatwa, condemning the July 7 suicide bombings as the work of a “perverted ideology.”
?
Damn it, Jersey, kill my buzz, why don’t you?
See, Coen’s just playing the game.
Based on yesterday’s item, looks like the score is 1-1 in the bottom of the first, but if Jessica is troubled by two- count ’em TWO-“snark” references in the same item, what would she say about your multiple snarks in ONE headline?
