Elizabeth Wurtzel, ’90s hero and author of Prozac Nation and Bitch, spent the last few years attending Yale Law School. When the New York bar exam results became public yesterday Gawker was on the case,  breaking the story that Wurtzel’s name was conspicuously (?) absent from the pass list. But is a blog post actually bitchy if its facetiousness is so fabricated?

In a blatant attempt to appear scathing, intrusive and snarky, the infamous media blog made a post only intended to embarrass. A few commenters bit and voiced a little mini-outrage at how “mean” it was, but you could hardly call it a splash.

Then today the Observer told Wurtzel herself about it and she managed to shrug it off saying, “Wow, really? I had no idea. I didn’t even see that. That’s interesting.” But actually, it’s completely uninteresting, a straight up non-story and most of all, proof that maybe Gawker’s fangs really have been filed down.

I mean, how much is this information even worth? Actually, I can answer that: over 20,000 page views and counting, apparently.
