Today we've installed an editorial policy at Gawker which I hope will stick for some time: It's about the word "Exclusive" being used in headlines and tags. It should be avoided at all costs, barring strange, unique circumstances wherein we feel it's necessary to inform dumb readers that the story they are reading on this site was generated here and only here despite our dubious reputation as content remoras.

Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion now, I guess?) won't be voting for Mitt Romney.

Jersey Shore returned for its sixth and final season last night, and ugh, Jersey Shore is on TV again. I haven't kept up regularly since three quarters of the way through Season 2, but it seems like they're still fighting about the same stuff they were fighting about two seasons ago, if last night's flashback reel was an indication. Mike vs. Snooki. Sam vs. Ronnie. JWoww vs. nature. Pauly and Vinnie not vs. the inherent homoeroticism of their relationship. They're still embracing it.

Advertising is like a shit and sugar pie. So, so sweet, as long as you don't think about what's going into it. And everyone wants a bigger piece. Who are any of us to say that someone should not have more shit and sugar pie? They might regret it, but we've been sucking it down for years.

Tuition at private US colleges rose 3.9% last year, the smallest rise in 40 years. Only -53.9% to go until equilibrium.

To close out a week of are-they-or-aren't-they rumors about Rihanna and Chris Brown getting back together (they definitely are) comes a particularly explosive dose of what the fuck. Last night Chris Brown got "a little drunk" and ranted for a minute and a half about how he loves Rihanna.

A Philadelphia man claims in a suit filed last week that a bachelor party visit to a local strip club concluded with a ruptured bladder after an erotic dance went awry.

Taken 2 is where crap becomes unwatchable crap. Its 2008 predecessor was garbage, too, but at least it was well-paced garbage. For a while, Taken 2 is one of those cookie-cutter sequels that goes beat-for-beat with what came before it, a la Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The plot-point repetition alone makes for an over-the-top experience that actually seems to be owning up to its junkiness. It's just too ridiculous.

A New York hedge funder had a court in Ghana seize an Argentine Navy vessel because Argentina owes him money. Uhhh.

Good Morning America and Entertainment Weekly's "All-Star Reunion Blowout" continues with the coming together of the cast of Amy Heckerling's iconic '90s comedy Clueless.

The unemployment rate has dipped below 8 percent for the first time since 2009 — evidence of a slow, but steady recovery? Or evidence that hundreds of thousands of unemployed Democrats gathered together to lie about being employed?

Good news, relatively speaking, on the jobless front today, as the U.S. unemployment rate slid under 8%, its best number since January of 2009. Jobs are returning (a little). Consumer confidence is up (for now). Is it time for YOU to put your money into the stock market, that great engine of American prosperity?

After spending five years watching a diffident political compromiser campaign for and occupy the White House, Democrats were still shocked that Wednesday's debate didn't reveal Barack Obama: Political Nut-Cutter.

K-pop superstar Park Jae-Sang — known to everyone but his mom as Psy — returned to Seoul, South Korea, yesterday to put on a thank you show for fans, free of charge.

Ryan Andresen was in "total shock" when his Scoutmaster informed him he would not be awarding him the rank of Eagle Scout — the Boy Scouts highest honor — because he was openly gay.

When secretly taped footage surfaced of Mitt Romney at a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser telling attendees that 47% of all voters have the audacity to believe they are "entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it," he was asked to explain what the hell that was supposed to mean.

The real loser of last night's presidential debate: Jim Lehrer, who didn't do a whole lot.

When San Francisco's archbishop-elect Salvatore Cordileone was arrested for a DUI a little over a month ago, that was just God's way of putting him in his place.

In case you haven't heard, AMC is not available on Dish Network. But if you've watched even five minutes of AMC over the past few months, you're well aware: every single promo contains a damning reminder.

Remember all those days ago when we first heard the story of Cecil Chao, the Hong Kong billionaire who was offering a $65-million bounty to any man able to woo his daughter away from her wife?
