Letters to the Editor

Introducing Salon's cheeky new women's blog The editors [2005-10-24]

• In case you didn't know. . .

  Everybody who works in an office does this. Hell, practically all of America does this. You find something weird or funny or interesting in the news, and you send it on to your friends and family with your snarky comments attached.

  Here's the difference between you and most of the rest of us: we know that nobody but our friends and family cares about our snarky commentary.

  You people work for what used to be a really good online publication. Write an article about how Mary-Kate dresses like a grandma now or don't. If you don't have enough snark to fill a whole article, why should we read it? To see how clever and funny you are? Because, as we know, "Women are funny." Girls are cute. They like pink and celebrity gossip and boys. They like to be called broads because that's sassy. And they're funny!

  In case you haven't figured it out yet, I think the whole premise behind this blog is astoundingly sucktastic on more than one level.
