My name is James. James Del actually. I work at a place called Gawker Media, something I find myself explaining to my parents every time I see them. They'll get it one day. I don't believe in Twitter, but I do believe in Facebook and LinkedIn. There's a Myspace page out there too, but never mind that. Questions, concerns, and comments can be directed to James, At-Sign Gawker, Period Com.

nedhepburn: shortformblog: The videos from last week were no joke. There is a LOT of crying in this funeral clip. A LOT, from the announcer on down. Good luck trying to parse this, Americans. The whole “If you don’t cry we’ll shoot you” thing usually works.  Was it just me, or did some of those North Koreans look like they were crying tears of happiness? If you watch it that way, the whole thing seems rather ridiculous.
