Village Voice Offers Mea Culpa For Posting Inappropriate Link

The NY-gossip blog Gawker tweaked the Village Voice this morning for posting a home-page link on villagevoice.com to a six-year old story on "Online Celeb Torture" written by Peter Braunstein, who was charged last year with brutalizing a woman in her Manhattan apartment. The Voice quickly removed the link and posted an editor's note, admitting that the employee responsible for the link "should have known better" and that Gawker's ridicule was well-placed.

"The fact that this column exists truly is a joke, and the fact that I have to answer these questions is ridiculous. That said, I will answer these questions to confront all of those stereotypes and really the pitiful nature of the American mind that cannot accept Mexicans being in this country." Arellano also criticized other Mexican and Latino members of the media for focusing on positive stereotypes, which he called "a disservice to Mexican or Latino society or culture."
