Still around. They operate a bunch of other websites like Cracked, Know Your Meme, Fail Blog, etc.
In 2016, they were bought by an Israeli company, Literally Media, along with EBaum's World.
So… enshitification?
more like enjewification, haha right guys??

I knew somebody would get the joke!
This seems like a wrong thing to say.
I know you kid, but I have seen this unironically with a bot on the DarkWeb forum Dread, which replaces company names with "jew" inserted into it, like "Google" replaced with "Jewgle".
that's fucking hilarious... but sad they didn't mean it ironically. I mean, Israel would never outright own Google because Google is already a back alley bitch for them.

nope, no Florida man here.
Amazing how racists queue up to out themselves at the barest hint of a strongman leader.
