Joining me in assuming for a moment that the news that Jessica Coen is leaving Gawker is actually true. One can imagine the awkward moments between she and Denton leading up to this day.

Her arrival in New York -- an electric bundle high hopes, ambition, and blossoming sexuality. Him looking over her shoulder, his hot breath on her neck as she typed the words that would make them both famousish, "Side Kick." Her embarrassment at walking in on Denton "interviewing" her replacement, all clenching English buttcheek and hairless ballsack. Her sense of betrayal fermenting into the kind of rage only a Pi Phi in her early 20's can know. And the pitch that left them salivating at Simon and Shyster.

"It's Sex in the City meets Just One of the Guys meets The Other Sister."

So while we wait for the inevitable tell-all, all we can do is speculate on what the title might be.
