Forget James Comey’s upcoming testimony. Forget the UK general election. Something much more newsworthy has happened. I woke up this morning to the news that Kurt Eichenwald has outed himself as a fan of hardcore hentai. At first, I thought this was a doctored photograph, but no, it’s real. The man tweeted it himself.

The name of the title is B-Chiku, although you will have to Google that one on your own, since Adsense regulations forbid me from linking to that sort of content. Needless to say, Twitter has been having a lot of fun with this stunning self-own. Again, to repeat: KURT TWEETED THIS OUT HIMSELF!

Today's elections have been postponed in order to give the British people time to process Kurt Eichenwald's Hentai Goof.

Kurt Eichenwald's sexual proclivities are so intricately depraved that reading hentai is purely casual to him, like doing a crossword puzzle

As (Not) Pax Dickinson alluded to, I’m sure Kurt’s hentai perusal was for research purposes only. It’s not like he sits there slavishly, all day and all night, pleasuring himself to Japanese cartoon porn in between bouts of Twitter rants against Tucker Carlson. No, that couldn’t be the case.
Let this be a lesson to always check your screenshots before you tweet them out. Whenever Kurt makes up some incredible lie about his now-exposed proclivity, I will update this post. Or will he just ignore it altogether? We shall see, but either way, I don’t think the internet is going to let him forget this hilarious mistake.
UPDATE: He’s actually trying to make-up an excuse. This is pretty sad…but also hilarious. After giving some thoughts on Comey, I asked him if he didn’t have something else to address. This led him to start down the path of further destruction.

…some to show her it was real. But I couldn't find any – & ended up w/ this. My family reads my twitter feed, so they know this is true.

Indeed. Please continue, Kurt.
No one hacked my account. We were searching to prove to my wife tentacle porn exists. See text convo. I only removed names and drug names. pic.twitter.com/EMHYlYKcPf

Now he’s trying to have his wife cover for him IN PUBLIC! Jesus, this man has no shame. Just take the hit, man. Sometimes that’s the best option. Make a joke about it and move on. This is insanely counterproductive and ensures that it will be tied to you forever.
