Gawker Readers Smart
We have turned off our comments today here at Gawker.com. This morning, I posted a post beseeching our readers, "Is your pet cute, and can you prove it with a picture? Answers go in the comments." Our readers caught this logical discrepancy with utmost haste.

@hamiltonnolan Did you forget that comments are disabled today, or is this that Gawker sense of troll humor?
