Satirewire Calls It Quits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the moment-of-silence dept.

stuyman writes "After almost three years, Andrew Marlatt, SatireWire's best (and only) employee is leaving the company. Says Marlatt "I all agreed it's time for me to move on...while the decision was certainly difficult, the meeting was actually quite harmonious. I brought doughnuts." He's going to start doing other things, and it has nothing to do with money. Read about it here. Satirewire has landed, please remain seated until we are fully stopped in the terminal area..." I owe Andrew some heavy laughter, and wish him good luck.

  1. Where can I put MY tech humor? by AtariDatacenter · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've done a bit of writing at SegFault. (The majority of it right before it went belly up.) It'd be nice if SatireWire would accept submissions now that their main contributor is going onto other things. (Well, main contributor, editor, publisher, errand boy...)

    Is there *decent* website we can go to in order to publish our own faux tech news?

  2. So, now... by Apuleius · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How about collating SatireWire's articles and publishing a book, a la Dispatches from the 9th CIrcle?

    1st rule of entertainment: Always leave them wanting for more.

    e.g. Well executed: Monty Python, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bill Watterson, Gary Larson

    e.g. Poorly executed: The X-Files, AC/DC, Metallica, Charles Shultz, Microsoft
