Regarding New Spite

I am disgusted at the changes in Spite.

Supposedly pissed-off articles surrounded by a happy-scrappy rounded logo, bright colorful backgrounds, and some crap-ass Mr. Spacely rip off? Is this some kind of attempt at cognitive dissidence?

Yeah right. And Alanis Morisette’s Ironic is actually genius because it has NO examples of irony, and thus is truly ironic. Bullshit. You’re both too stupid to come up with something like that.

You’re just blind to the hypocrisy this zine has become.

And what is this crap about putting content up on a weekly basis, regardless of quality? For what? Are you fucking retarded? Is your goal to turn this once-entertaining zine into all that it rails against? (That being the hypocrisy, and the kind of sick society that puts timeliness and bullshit like deadlines above the important things, like QUALITY WRITING.)

I just don’t get it. I used to have respect for this site. I mean, any site that continues to print poorly written letter from preadolescent girls regarding their love of Hanson for all to laugh at has to have some redeeming qualities. You need to reconsider the ideological purpose of this magazine and find a way to stay true to them.

And precisely which of our ideological purposes have we betrayed? The one in which we try really hard to get attention for ourselves? Judging from how long you must have spent thinking about this, we're doing all right! -ed.
