I think the idea behind Open Mic is brilliant. It reminds me of what my old pal John Carney once said, “The internet isn’t for giving information. It’s for sharing information.” People who don’t “get” the internet think it’s just a digital magazine. It’s not. It’s a place where like-minded people get together and talk about stuff they like. The site chooses the best writers to write the most content but if everyone doesn’t get their say, the site is doomed. That’s why Twitter is so popular. You hone it to your particular taste and then bask in your own unique weirdness. It’s the opposite of a digital magazine. So, I like what you’re doing with Open Mic because it gives the rest of us (I’m 21 and don’t even have a blog) a chance to get our two cents on the front page.
There are limits though.
“My Bully Died” read like one of those SPAMS you get that just pastes random information into your email so it looks like an email. It was terrible. It was so boring I actually found myself mad enough to try my own hand at writing an Open Mic (which I will submit next week after polishing it a bunch). Please don’t ostracize your readers by putting up absolutely everything you get. You’re job is to cull the crap a bit so we don’t have to. I’m sure you have some intern just throwing up all submissions because you think having something on the weekend is better than nothing but you’re wrong. Vane$$a’s post was much worst than nothing. It was something. Something Wicked that Came this Way.
Sincerely,
Max
Max,
It was BlogN’s idea. Go eat his hairy ass.

That pic of that guy munching on hairy man ass is yucky

I think this was either a brilliant commenter who hates Vaness, or Vaness him/her self.
Can we please see some pics of Vaness’ wang or ass?
Also, the story wasn’t that awful. s/he just should stick to witty bashing in the lower half of the webpages.
ps: i thought the pic was of a guy eating out a panther or something. sa-weet

Fuuuck you. If I had published some scantily read book back in the 90s all of you would be kissing my ass right now. And Max, you fucking leech, why don’t you try finding something to say that doesn’t revolve around me.

As the intern, I find that offensive.

that photo: my mental health just took a downfall

Jesus,
You’re a spineless bitch, Max. If you’d really like to trump Vane$$a, you’d cut the pussyfooting and do it. I’m not going to torque the man’s cap, but his “contributions” properly contrast the typical regurgitation: a collage of distorted cocks, a compilation of texts from a faded friend, a bullshit eulogy to The Newmore Switchcombs.
You’re still an evil motherfucker.

That man is truly a giver. A tossing and a reach around? I wish my gf was that thoughtful.
05.04.09 at 4:00 pm
WOOF!
05.04.09 at 6:45 pm
Did the biggest dick-ridin’ leech in this site’s history just call someone a leech? Or was it one of his other “personalities”?
Blognigger didn’t write any books, and he gets regular BJs here. Why? He can write.
05.04.09 at 7:39 pm
(Undaunted, Vane$$a summons his other screen names to rush to his defen$e.)
05.04.09 at 8:01 pm
Yeah, but that’s not fair cuz he’s giving the BJs to himself…and JANG. I don’t know. I just feel so flattered by this whole thing. Thank you everybody. Thank you.
05.04.09 at 11:02 pm
you really shouldn’t.

I think Vegan Jules won Open Mic 2. Vanessa’s ridiculous attempt was horrifically boring but I got more of a laugh out of VJ. Like, holy fuck what a useless piece of shit.
