Yes folks, that's right, issue #2 of Papersoup.com has been published today.

Why have I linked this hilarious yet obvious rip-off of the Onion, you ask? It's a joint venture between a few of my friends and I. Well, I really haven't had too much to do with it, mostly because I realized how unfunny most things I do end up being. Okay, I'll admit not everything they do is funny either, but that's only because you don't know who Brody is. Just fucking click it, okay?

The only thing I did for this issue was create the Minority Report section and a few of the Horoscopes...

Yeah, it's almost a rip-off of the layout as well.

I really couldn't give a fuck about "layout".

It's "CONTENT" that I'm interested in!

And Kristin can kiss my white ass.

I just figured that while you were pointing out that the concept was a rip-off that I may as well say the layout looked like a rip-off. Then again, I don't visit The Onion anymore.

you're an idiot, and so are your friends. Why don't you just delete the site and just have it redirect to the onion? at least then it would have funny(and original) stuff there then

the stories are funny, and at least they're somewhat original. the only suggestion i would make is to have more of a lead-in hook in the first paragraph. for instance, your lead story "Ballpark nachos; You don't buy them, only rent them". This is the paragraph you lead with:

"Taking a trip to the ballpark these days can be a fun trip for the whole family, but sometimes it can get a little expensive. First there is the price of the seats, programs, random collectables, and then of course, the nachos."

there's nothing interesting in that paragraph that would make me want to click the link provided for the full story. i clicked anyway, just to see if the rest of the story was as bland. the second paragraph was hilarious, but you'd never know that from the dry delivery on your front page.

people would probably show more interest if you spiced up the intro paragraphs a little.

Yeah, the paper isn't very journalistically sound... I can't even get them to put their periods inside of the quotation marks. You're right though, need to make the leads more interesting. Thanks for the compliments of it though.

In other words: "top"
