Boston.Com Is In the Tshirt Game Now? What's Next? Guess That Ass?

Bostonherald – Harvard Business School professor Ben Edelman, responding to a Boston.com article that reported he had sent “racist” emails, said today he had nothing to do with the messages In his email to the Herald today, Edelman said at the time the emails were posted, he was on an overnight flight. “They had been removed by the time I got off the flight and checked email and the web,” he said. “But I’ve seen screenshots that others kindly preserved for me. To my eye, the emails look like obvious counterfeits — formatting different from genuine emails from me, plus not the kind of thing I’d write. So far as I know Boston.com didn’t try to confirm their authenticity before posting them.” The Boston.com story, which gained significant traction on the Internet, was replaced Wednesday by an editor’s note that reads: “Earlier tonight, Boston.com published a piece suggesting Harvard Business School Professor Ben Edelman sent an email with racist overtones to Sichuan Garden. We cannot verify that Edelman, in fact, sent the email. We have taken the story down.” Last night, Boston.com acknowledged in a statement that deputy editor Hilary Sargent had designed a T-shirt mocking Edelman after the story was published. The T-shirt, which was briefly posted for sale for $20.95 on Internet shopping site Zazzle.com, featured the words “Didn’t go to HBS. Also didn’t lose my (expletive) over FOUR dollars.” Boston.com can confirm that Hilary designed the T-shirt. We certainly don’t condone this type of action and we are dealing with it internally,” Corey Gottlieb, executive director of Boston.com’s digital strategy and operations, said in a statement last night.

Them chicks be jackin’ my style. They try to copy my swagger. I’m on that next shit now. I’m so three thousand and eight. You so two thousand and late.

I mean is Boston.com serious right now? Now they are getting in the tshirt game? Holy shit. Can you hop off my dick just a little bit? Like I’m dead serious when I say the Globe literally woke up one day and was just like “we have a new business model. Let’s just do everything that Barstool does” It’s nuts. Now they’re even peddling tshirts. Listen if I’e said it once I”ve said it a thousand times. I can be bought. If the Globe want to be Barstool so bad just have fucking have Dr. Creepy buy us and I’ll show you how you run an internet empire. Until then leave the tshirts and funny email chains to the king. Because newsflash publishing fake racist email chains, issuing retractions, probably getting sued and selling tshirts on Zazzle is a bad look. Even for a Barstool copycat.
