SOUNDBITES — “It used to be worse! It used to be so much worse. I think because I’ve gotten a little bigger I’ve tamed it a little bit, but in real life I’m a lot worse. But I don’t think it’s that vulgar! I’ve always been around that, that’s how my friends and I talk. I talk like that around my mom, just because I like to shock her, so I think I get worse and worse to shock her, and she’s like oh my gosh Michael, don’t say that. But I think it’s kind of tame. What I think is vulgar isn’t like sex or anything like, but sites with exploding brains and stuff, people send me this stuff for Caption This! pictures. I can’t remember the site name, I used to link to it all the time. But that’s vulgar and gross to me: exploding assholes, exploding brains. And Christian sites are vulgar to me, too.” —DListed.com blogger Michael K on the state of his website [The Awl]
I don’t think there’s a single post on DListed that isn’t quotable and hilarious, especially when you’re drunk and/or sleep-deprived. I’ve had some pretty good “shitting myself laughing at three in the morning in the dark” moments reading DListed. I hold the site at the same level of CNN, in a good way.
“Michael K is of Mexican, Chinese, English, and Danish descent,” says Wikipedia, which explains the cuteness. Mix anything with Chinese and it’s like magic.

I love MK too. His filthiness is strangely artful! Plus, I always get the impression that when he’s bitching about celebrities, he’s in on the joke whereas a certain other blogger who could not write his way out of a paper sack is just plain mean for the sake of being mean.

Oh C’mon and say it already, D-Listed kicks Perez’s ass.
MK is truly funny and campy, whereas PH is just a bitchy queen wannabe. PH has become a “Hedda Hopper/Louella Parsons” of the 21st century. He is paid/bribed/otherwise benefits financially from the artists he promotes.
And lets not forget that Mr. Hilton, I used the word f*ggot when I was thinking n*gger, doesn’t moderate the comments on his site which seems to be filled with anti-gay and utterly hateful postings.

I love his vulgarity and he’s cute as a button to boot!
