Philanderers who bought into AshleyMadison.com's motto that "life's too short" and you should "have an affair" will probably have to come clean to their spouses soon considering the website for the unfaithful has been hacked by a group that's trying to shut them down.

Quentin Tarantino has withdrawn his lawsuit against the website Gawker for linking to his unproduced screenplay, The Hateful Eight, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Israel's ultra-Orthodox Haredi sect has become a center of controversy for its harassment of women and girls and attempts to force women to ride at the backs of buses, segregated from the male passengers.

Via Spencer, Gawker reports on a growing movement of Christians using religious "jokes" in order to call for the assassination of Obama. The "joke" is this T-shirt, citing a verse from the Bible that says, "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership." As Gawker explains, it's surrounded by other prayers of enemy smiting, namely that his widow and children starve and live in poverty after his death. Gawker has other examples of right wingers thinking it's cute to be coy---but in an unsubtle, stupid way that's not nearly as clever as they think---in calling for Obama's death.
