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.

    Powerful? Nah, satirewire was definitely one of the weak sisters of the comedy news sites. Every article on there wasn't particularly insightful, matter of fact I usually think, "I could have written that" when seeing a satirewire link. Kind of like Saturday Night Live (shudder).

    Well la-dee-dah, an Adams quote. Obviously satirewire stories were so predictable I considered it a WASTE OF MY VALUELESS TIME to write ones like them.
