There goes that 1 minute of quickly scanning the "news" which is days late. Anyhow, good on them for shutting down the website. There are more important things today than the Nirvana box set.

the opinion of pfork's advertisers might differ

if any of them set their wheels to "squeak", they'll be compensated.

If it convinces one trucker-hatted hipster to drag his ass to the voting booth, then the site's work is done.

I think Momus has already conclusively demonstrated that anyone wearing a trucker hat will vote for Bush.

if they pay for a guaranteed number of page views -- is that how it still generally works with web ads? -- then they shouldn't care at all. they're still gonna get those page views; this just means it will take them one day longer to get 'em and their ad will stay up for that one extra day and everybody should be happy.

haha meanwhile at Stylus you can listen to Good Charlotte, Kimya Dawson and John Mayer mp3s selected by me! Stypod! Woo woo! Post-vote party party!

I voted, btw. The time I spend reading Pitchfork takes up a very small fraction of my day. Hell, I think writing this post might have taken longer.
