Hi everyone,
I am putting the finishing touches to a new online satirical lifestyle magazine and am looking for someone to be editor of the videogames section.
The magazine is a satirical mix of NME, FHM, Notion, The Face and other "trendy" culture/lifestyle mags. The magazine will be bi-monthly and will be released online and around Liverpool, England in paper format (for the moment). We have around 5 people editing/creating the different sections of the magazine but we need someone in charge of the videogames section.
What this will require is someone with a good sense of humour, able to create screenshots of something that LOOKS like a computergame and be able to write an interesting, witty article about the subject. More information is available from me, you can email me at editor@jawlockmagazine.co.uk.
Thanks very much everyone.

Any proof that you are who you are and not someone else pretending to be you instead of it really being you?

That's one of the most utterly confusing elongated over-long superflously strange sentences to ever be submitted to a simplistic urbanistic stylised PHP-powered forum such as this

Coldnews, what the monkey meant to say is, do you have solid proof that this is a legit magazine that is going to be published?


The future is here, and I can't afford it.

Well the web address is there. The actual published magazine will be in fanzine style/leaflet format distributed for free locally initially simply for costs. The main part of it will be the website.
Theres no promise of money until I start earning some from it.
But initially ColdNews was a satire newspaper that got a good readership up until it got hammered by hackers and I lost everything (always backup your work! Iv learned the hard way!).

Attatched is a screenshot of what the magazine will look like on the net. The site is in maintenance mode at the moment as we get all the deisgn finalised and all of the initial articles up and running.

As for proof that I am the editor? erm... you can email the website and speak to me and see that its me! I dont know what else you guys would need for me to prove it to you. :s

So it's like a ripoff of The Onion?

No. because of many reasons.
a) in my personal opinion The Onion is unfunny
b) A "rip off" would be an imitation of something else. This isnt an imitation because we're working on lifestyle magazine type stories, interviews, video, and even radio.
c) The Onion is news satire, not magazine satire.
d) The Onion is largely based around american issues. We are British.
e) The format/writing style/portreyals/article content/point/audience is completely different.

Theres no point in belittling the idea with a phrase such as that as its sorta like saying that DarkBasic is a rip off of [insert another programming language here]. It sorta doesnt make sense.

As the author of an online satire magazine, I'd expect you to recognise a joke when it slaps you in the face.
