MEDIA COVERUP OF THE DECADE
Post 138724 by DoctorFedora deleted for the following reason: I know I'm being a spoilsport here but we've got a Mallory Ortberg post just a couple doors down; maybe someone could do a roundup of sorts at some point? -- goodnewsfortheinsane

The Humble Image Comics Bundle
Post 138714 by maqsarian deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry; Humble Bundles are good stuff but this post is framed a little too close to an ad/sales thing to be a good fit here. Maybe try again another day with a little more emphasis on why this is interesting or what there is for non-buyers to see here? -- LobsterMitten

Post 138652 by Chocolate Pickle deleted for the following reason: If this is a real thing maybe find some actual links so it doesn't read like a a weird "Let's be judgey about people from a non-Western culture" post? -- jessamyn

And we are a hell of a lot more diverse than you might think.

Getting To Know Him
Post 138601 by artof.mulata deleted for the following reason: Brief listicle is pretty thin, seems maybe fodder for a quick hate-on, plus we have discussion of Clarence Thomas in a couple of current posts, and the tags "Black culture," and "Where did the law come from" don't seem to be supported here. If there is a larger point, maybe repost with more info and context? -- taz

Post 138596 by rosswald deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this is pretty context-free and thin to sustain an FPP. Striking visual, though. -- restless_nomad

Josh Lueke is a rapist
Post 138529 by klangklangston deleted for the following reason: "Hey let's get the word out about something horrible" is not a good basis for a post, plus the naming and shaming which is not something we like to do here even if the person is a criminal shithead, plus ...he was already convicted and people already talk about it all every time he's up? If you want to have an actual discussion that works at MetaFilter it needs to start from a basis that makes discussion possible rather than instant anger. -- LobsterMitten

Post 138502 by divabat deleted for the following reason: The site is cute but kind of slight on its own; maybe better to put it in the open Silicon Valley thread. -- LobsterMitten
A poor man’s Asian American version of the Howard Stern Show
Post 138501 by spamandkimchi deleted for the following reason: I agree this dude sounds awful and gross, but "asshole does asshole/criminal thing, laughs assholishly" doesn't seem like the basis of a great post for MetaFilter. -- LobsterMitten
True, false, or useful?
Post 138488 by EnterTheStory deleted for the following reason: Heya, quote-hunting is an interesting topic but the framing here, espcially leading with just a wiki talk page above the fold, is not really great for a mefi post. -- cortex

OpenSSL Valhalla Rampage
Post 138465 by jedicus deleted for the following reason: Yeah, maybe best to keep the discussion in the open Heartbleed thread. -- LobsterMitten
