I un-sub’d from Kotaku today. Sometime (I don’t know exactly when), someone posted Tubgirl to the front page of Kotaku, which dutifully delivered it to Google Reader via my RSS subscription. (Note, if you don’t know what Tubgirl is, do not, I repeat, do NOT Google it. It is ridiculously Not Safe For Work and is likely one of the more disgusting things you could ever wish to see. I’m not kidding, you don’t want to know. There are things you can’t un-see.)
Despite the apology, Kotaku is off my subscription list. That leaves Lifehacker as the only Gawker property left in my RSS feeds. A quick note to any Gawker people trolling for posts about this; that was total and complete bullshit. When I think about how close I was to opening that folder (gaming) while bored in a meeting today, I can’t even begin to imagine the fallout if it had been seen.
I’m not trying to be a prude, but if I can’t be confident that reader a fucking website for games won’t land me in a world of hurt at work, using the Unsubscribe button is a fairly easy, preventative step.
