More indication of trouble in SuicideGirlLand, as SG blogger and former child star Wil Wheaton reports that he has been let go as a blogger by the embattled alt.porn site. 

Due to budget cuts at the Newswire, this will be the last Geek in Review. It’s been an awesome year, but all good things must come to an end, and I think the GiR will be very happy living on a farm where it can play with other columns all day long.
