this is all I see when I go to any of the gawker websites. wtf happened, back when this started (in january I think?) I thought it was just a temporary issue they would work out, but this has been going on for months.
I have NoScript and Adblocker and it does that for me too. I don’t understand why, unless you have all third party sites whitelisted, not just gawker and their affiliated websites. So either you allow all ads or the website will not load.
We had a brief outage (~10 mins) early this morning, Eastern time which you may have encountered. If you’re using any content blockers, sites might not render correctly as they may also block the loading of some javascript and other assets. To test this, try disabling all content blocking extensions, clear your cookies and load the sites. If things still dont’ load, please do let us know.

i have the same problem but it was because of script blocking add-in in FF.
noscript? cause I have that installed, but with gawker white listed.

Works in both Chrome and Firefox (adblock + noscript) for me.
Works for me, FF (4.0.1, 5.0beta 6.0a1) with NoScript and Adblock, and Chrome and IE9.
I’d try another browser.
On Opera 11..no probs.
Oh hold on, ca.gawker.com/ ?

Ever seen a grown man’s penis, Greg?
Count your blessings and stop going there.
I remember they did a redesign of all the sites around then. That’s why I stopped going to Kotaku.
Use the Canadian or UK sites. It’s still the original, less shitty old version.
