Do you run a satire, spoof news or other like-themed site and want to appear on Mr. Satire? It's easier than you might think. Do you have another site such as a cartoon page or something else that could even vaguely be construed as topical, satirical, and fun? We may be able to work something out.
First, email us the location of your RSS/XML feed page, or the location of your javascript that can provide us with headlines. It is preferred if your RSS feed has the most recent five or more headlines, each with a description (opening paragraph) but we'll use whatever you have.
Second, write a description of your site. Feel free to take up as much space as you'd like. If you have doubts about what it should look like, just poke around through other site descriptions for a better idea.
Lastly, complete an interview to further describe your site. Below is four mandatory questions followed by a fairly exhaustive list of more unique interview questions, from which you should pick ten to answer and send them along. (Please, no more, no less.) You'll be reviewed for addition within a week (though typically much sooner). If you do find a reason to answer more than ten, as some have done in the past, be advised your answers will be pruned back to ten based on which ones we find to be the best.
Here's the mandatory questions
Answer all of these questions.
When did your website go online? (simple answer is fine)
How often does your site publish new material? (simple answer is fine)
Boxers or briefs? (and please dear God be creative, this IS going into your permanent record and ALL the other sites are answering the same question.)
What's unique about your site? (a list of things that I can put into bullets would be best.)
Here's the long list of optional questions
Choose just ten questions from the following list and send them. Provide an answer but also explain the "why". For example don't just say your least favorite place to eat pizza is in prison but also tell us that you've always had a phobia of being shivved whilst eating pepperoni. That's the sort of thing we're going for here. After all, you will be graded on how funny your answers are. Also, questions are first come, first served so get 'em while they're hot. Oh, and don't you dare pretend you can't answer these questions. No matter which is your god, God knows there's enough questions here that you can find at least ten you can answer. You're a satirist? Prove it bee-hotch, step up to the plate, drop and gimme ten!
Lastly, when anwering questions, don't just give me the number of question you're answering, as these things change constantly with more being added and many being deleted. Include the question your answering along with your answer or I may just lose my mind... oh, and your addition may take an extra long time as I haven't the time to be sorting through gibberish other than my own, you see.
