SHIT CANNED: Gawker terminates guy they hired for being a gawker

Our friends in our heads at Gawker are saying so long to yet another member of the team. Gawker's Managing editor Chris Mohoney who was first hired to edit Gawker's travel title Gridskipper, after he desperately blogged for and eventually landed the attention of Gawker chief Nick Denton and his number two Lockhart Steele, posted his goodbye in usual Gawker fashion. He will be replaced by one time Gawker editor Choire Sicha who will probably be welcomed with wide open arms by Gawker readers as he is said to have been their favorite. Apparently Nick Denton realized that he hired a fan after watching the traffic for his flagship falling off.....allegedly. We never quite understood why a Mohoney was even needed in the first place. It just seemed like an extra layer that wasn't needed between Editorial Chief Lockhart Steele and the editors.
