Too bad
we can not send selected articles to friends , ala The Onion. You people
are funny. Never heard of you until I found you on Fark Let me know if
you add this feature to your site. Good Luck. Pat
Editor -
Thanks Pat, we are lighting a fire under our webmaster to get that done.
Keep an eye out.
Update -
Done....Thanks Gavin!
Did we
see you guys on the Tech TV's The Screen Savers? - Hammond
Editor -
Yes you did, Bill (our Business Manager) and his son Austin were on in
July of 2002. They talked about the site and pulled Leo Laporte's hair.

Do you
accept outside submissions? Please advise. Sincerely, William
Editor -
We do, although we do not post all submitted. Obviously, if it stinks...no.
We have recently been taking submissions and posting them on weekends.
So if you think you have it....send it! Please do not send us stories you have solicated to many many many many sites. We only print original material.
Great
site. I would like to send my URL for a link exchange. Thomas
Editor -
We have a list of sites we do link or banner exchanges with. Although
we have to somewhat be picky with who. We do not want to saturate our
link page and devalue the links we presently list. Therefore, each request
is evaluated, if accepted, constantly tracked to see how many hits are
brought in on other side.
I wanted
to know when Katie Couric five part series will start. They show it on
the inter-net but you can't get into the web site. Do you know when it
will be up and running - Jill

What part of satire news did you miss?
Who do
you think you are, The Onion? - Pangraid
Editor -
No. Who do you think you are, Lenny Bruce?
I am writing
to tell you that I find your articles incredibly unfunny. Don't get me
wrong, you find great premises for them but your team of writers seem
unable to make them funny. If it weren't for the vulgarity contained within,
it would be exactly the kind of humor a methodist couple would find cute
and they would be gafaahing for hours. You might want to look in to improving
your content so you can increase readership. Honestly, I am sure you and
your writers can do much better than the ridiculously unfunny crap you
are putting out. - Wil Day

It turns out this guy has his own satire site dedicated to religion. I
am taking a collection of funds to help this guy purchase a spell checker
for his site!

Anyone?
How many
Onion ripoffs are out there on the web? How many comedy sites actually
provide humor that isn't a made up news headline? - Brandon
Editor -
It turns out this guy ALSO has a satire news site. Instead of HELPING
satire sites breaking away from THE ONION references, he adds to it. I
responded with the standard "those with glass houses..." email.
His response....
Hi, Okay,
so maybe I was a bit jealous. You guys seem to get linked on Fark quite
often, and I'm sure it helps the old hit counter. Whereas (his site) has
had to resort to selling offspring to get a few thousand extra hits a
day. However, I do think if you took a real look at our site, you'd see
that we do try hard to not rip off the headline comedy format of the onion
(and it's not like they were original with the idea, either). Yeah, we
have a few, but our main stories don't do that (take a look at any of
the articles at the top of our page). Certainly far fewer than your site.
But look, I'm not trying to start a fight between comedy sites. You guys
produce some very funny shit (I like the worst toupee bit) so, my apologies.

Will you
get off the computer and do some yard work? - Editor's wife
Editor -
Honey, I swear this is for nothing. We are working hard to get a highly
entertaining/revenue producing entity here. We have traffic....see (showing
her webtrends report).
We appreciate
