Sploid seems to be shutting down its operations. Bummer since there has rarely been a better electronic news outlet and aggregator. One that despite its tabloid appearance, and sometimes corny lead-ins, managed to cover stories that others just dreamt of having backbone enough to touch upon.

Just like YouTube, Lebanon, Joe Lieberman, newspaper circulation and airline travel, Sploid is being demolished.

It is a great victory for bullshit peddlers everywhere … if they had any idea Sploid existed.

Shut down, laid off, on the nickel, run out of town, shown the door, eighty-sixed, suicided, under heavy manners, finaled by the fuzz, down in the hole, out of the groove, sadder than a map, under the Hoover blankets, taking a bank holiday, riding the rails to Hungry Town, brought down and fought down.
