The video game site Destructoid.com seems to have temporarily changed its name and URL to http://cashwh0re.com/ featuring a new logo that obviously resembles Gamespot's logo.

This is great, they have little tag lines all over the front page. Like "Win a $3000 PC to sell and send Jeff some Cash" or "Join Cashwhore total excess for $866/mo to pay for news that free on Destructoid with added C|Net bias. Moar u say?!! Get Cashwhore HD and see how we make bad games look good, which is billable!..."

I can't think of any other line of work in which there would be such a community uproar over someone getting fired like this. Its great.

Speaking of which, watch their Kane and Lynch video review (http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Ron++Workmeng/cashwh0re-kain-and-lynch-video-review--56931.phtml). It's very funny

Well, Gamespot did say that they were expecting a backlash.
