And get him paid in the mean time. It's circular you see, the more attention he gets, the more likely it is that he'll be asked to write more and the more opportunities we'll have to make fun of him (and his monkey of a copy editor).

Seriously, this deserves its own awful thread.
Despite the cringe-worthy editing and the utter lack of information in the article itself, this was really my favorite part:
QuoteTodd has spent his entire life in Philadelphia and will bring you the most informative and knowledgeable insight regarding the Temple Owls.
How does living in Philly qualify anyone for anything?

She's the Sports Examiner. She, like, examines sports and stuff!
More importantly, she's broken in half ugly.
I believe she was Temple's homecoming queen.

Quoteinformative and knowledgeable insight
Providing information, knowledge, and insight all at the same time? You're a triple-threat writer, or at the very least a single-threat writer with a thesaurus.

when you get to $2.50 buy your boss a cup of coffee and tell him thanks for the opportunity and quit
i dont know who the boss is
some guy in denver called me, that was the extent of it
so this is all a practical joke then?
no its some giant blog network
he said they havent even begun advertising in philly, whatever that entails
basically for me its something else besides writing articles. im clearly not on camera/air material and dont have the technological skills to do a lot of stuff, so basically i need to show that i can do all forms of writing otherwise im going to wind up cleaning toilets at some middle school.
I've clicked about 10 times, Todd. You have my support!
This guy? Never.

QuoteMy name is Todd and I'll be the Temple Owls Examiner for this site. I'm currently a senior at Temple University and the sports editor of the student newspaper, The Temple News. I've been covering the men's basketball team for the past two seasons, and the football team for the past year, and have been following both of them for as long as I can remember, which might or might not be sad, depending on how you look at it.

In your scholarly pursuit of a journalism degree did you ever take a proof reading class??????
Man, the weight of the world is on MDS' shoulders. He's looking old.

I laughed.
That comment was not from me. At least two of the others are.
