The Webutante Ball: "A Massive Circle Jerk," Says Its Own Facebook Group

A hack? A shameless “reverse psychology” PR ploy? No idea. In any event, the Facebook group for the 2010 Webutante Ball, an upcoming event put on by Gawker TV’s Richard Blakeley during Internet Week that has a “prom theme” and a committee to elect the king and queen of the Internet or something, does not seem to have its original wording at this time. At least, we suspect that “100% of ticket proceeds go directly to charity to promote the idea that this event is something other than a massive circle jerk” was not the original advertorial set of words put there.
