That piece of shit deserves to disappear forever.
I have stopped going to Stab entirely. The enjoyment I used to feel in making a little fun has evaporated and that rudderless ship has nothing to offer anyhow. I haven’t missed it. I haven’t thought about it until I went just now, prompted by a comment here about the shark story.
“What shark story?” I thought while punching an erstwhile name into the bar.
And there it was. Anonymously written, mocking a boy killed by an attack in Brazil for straight clicks, offering condolences at the end, comments turned off.
It is honestly one of the most disgusting moments I have ever witnessed in my 20 odd years dancing through this surf world and deserves serious, serious chastisement. Climbing up on a non-satirical high horse is the most uncomfortable thing in the world but shame on every single person there. Shame on the advertisers who give them money. Shame on the contributors who will continue on. Shame on the Venice-adjacent landlord who provides them rent.
That piece of shit deserves to disappear forever.

What good is a rudder without your moral compass to navigate by. Good to have you back.
I read that headline on the Daily Mail last week. At no point did it cross my mind to run an article about it.
I think they’ve changed it… nearly the entire article is quotes from other people now
agreed.
not funny. nu low.
stab has been circling the drain for years now, getting more and more desperate for clicks and ad revenue. the writing is so bad that many articles don’t even have an author listed, just “STAB,” which im pretty sure is just their way of saying “Yea we know Dooma writes at a third grade level but just try to read this he worked super hard on it, ok?”
I logged into the analytics and went back through ReportsFromHell’s last 14 days of Instagram stories, and this is not true. There were not any posts about this topic.
Most Editors in Chief would lose their job for decisions like publishing that story.
Last paragraph is really really inopportune. The one who wrote that shit should be fired and sued immediately. Bummer is not signed.
‘According to the Daily Mail’ = a hairy shitball plucked from English media’s fetid anus. Bye Stab.
Well written, Mr Smith. Totally agree with you, this was disgusting.
“I have stopped going to Stab entirely.” I’m with you.
when kogen bought surfstitch did they get stab + magic seaweed too?
Glad I enabled you.
Why did they mock him? On what grounds? Why does that site exist anymore?
That article was a fucken disgrace. Hopefully they are getting sued for it. Abhorrent. I’ve been wanting to use that word for a while now.
Who’s gonna sue them, and for what? They merely reposted lots of stuff already put out by other people.
Tasteless, ghoulish, immature and in poor judgement, but not litigiously attractive.
I was hoping only. You a lawyer mate? Sympathy.
If I was a lawyer I wouldn’t be so damn broke.
Oh no. Same. Fuck. I’m selling old boards! Makes me sad.
hah, samesies!
R.I.P. Stab magazine 2014.
Anyone laying odds on how long it will take for them to delete the article? I long for the old days when you had to have balls of steel to send some articles to print. Now you hit publish and if anyone raises enough objection, hit delete. Pissweak.
They were the days. Heaven help you if you had typos that were published.
Once committed to the image setter there was no turning back.
The wrath of god would descend on your foundling career.
Hah – oxford commas ?
None of that trendy wanker wannabe cool crap.
Damn, you know it’s serious shit around here when there’s no exclamation point in the title.
Some leap over a coffee table for kicks. Some leap atop a coffin if able for clicks.
The piece I’ve been waiting for. I’m stopping at a rural bookstore today and ordering Cocaine.
You don’t have to go to a bookstore for that shit man
Makes more sense to get Chas’ book on-lines anyways.
Good tip, thanks. Think I’ll shorten the title too. It’s a lot of effort to say the entire thing.
CHAStisement
