loving David Wong is a superstar at Cracked, and he's basically the Poochie of transgressive literature and probably many other facets of his life.

You motherfuckers. You ungrateful bastards. You're lucky Asterios ever bothers to poo poo out these terrible weekly articles. He was a loving intern at The Onion, okay? He wrote a goddamn book for gently caress's sake. And you bitches have the audacity to sit here and criticize him for being an unfunny, self-promotional, hack of a loser that can barely put together a 200-word feature without tripping all over his own stupid dick?

Well look in the loving mirror, okay guys??

Keep up the good work, Asterios.

This most recent one feels like a poorly done Zack Parsons impersonation, which I guess is an understandable thing to go for because Parsons is actually good at what he does.

At least this one reminded me of that story where DTJr. was a deadbeat alcoholic loser in college and one day elder Trump showed up and knocked on his son's dorm door. When he answered he was an obviously hungover unwashed mess and Donald slapped him so hard he fell to the ground, and said "Put on a suit and meet me outside" leaving his son splayed out on the ground like a rag doll.

Anyway, article sucked.

Yes, getting paid for collecting the work of others and presenting it without any attribution is cool and good.

Hey, it worked for Buzzfeed!

It is especially cool and good after years of Something Awful taking user-submitted photoshop projects and slapping their watermark on it, something goons used to make fun of ebaumsworld for doing.

As far as I recall, those were originally added specifically to counteract eBaumsWorld stealing them. And at least in the Phridays the images are posted with attribution.

I think it's lovely to repost the work of others without credit, is all. Regardless of who's doing it.

Hey, I made this offer in another thread, so I'll repost here. Like, bottom line is, I get it and I know some of the stuff I've written has been a little weak lately.

I know that a lot of the people criticizing my writing are likely also comedy writers themselves, or people who've always wanted to give writing for the front page a shot. So for next Monday's article, I'll publish the funniest originally written piece someone from this thread sends me. I'll obviously give you total credit and the fee.

My email address is asterios.kokkinos@gmail.com. Please include your SA forums username in the article.

Thanks!

how kuch is that?
