Austinist, don't be fooled! "Gekco789" is not a really gekco, nor even a correctly-spelled gecko-- it's actually Jennifer Kim-- a conceit designed to make the honorable Ken Weiss seem wee-tah-did. A...

Is "haterade" like Gatorade for the KKK? But seriously, it is strange when tabloids try to adopt a counterculture superstar. But don't blame the A-ist for just linking to it. It's like a third-degree...
