Attention Gawker commenters: Nick Denton needs you to pick up his dry cleaning. Though it sounds too good to be true, it seems that eager young Gawker interns are working their way up the new media ladder on the strength of their smug observations, sarcastic bon mots and impassioned diatribes on all things trivial. Will the "first!" be the first to be hired?

Yesterday cewebrity heartbreaker, CollegeHumor co-founder and Gawker darling Jakob Lodwick posted an IM chat with Gawker owner/editor Nick Denton which, if not actually a joke, exposes the true identity of many Gawker commenters.

I used to be a commentator there. Don't ask - it's a long story. I found it by accident.

Anyway he kicked me out and wouldn't let me come back because they said I'm stupid and boring, I don't get their jokes and I ruined it for everyone. I definitely wasn't paid to be there.
