New Yorker goes all “returning its own popcans”

Eustace Tilley Hat?From Gawker:

There’s an interesting report today on a Columbia undergraduate publication’s punnily and speech-impedimently named blog, the Bwog, regarding an old trove of slush-pile submissions to The New Yorker’s poetry department:

[I]t was with much fanfare that the interns were told that they were finally going to throw out the box. But first wouldn’t they be so careful as to go through the submissions and remove all the self-addressed stamped envelopes? Why? To save the stamps, of course. Yes, the poetry editor of the New Yorker had her interns cut out each and every 37 cent stamp they could find, even though these stamps on their own were useless without a two cent supplement to compensate for the 2006 cost of postage.

Midway through their task she stopped them. Touched by the hand of reason? Of common human decency? “I just wanted to make sure… neither of you has a blog, right?”

Oh, silly poetry editor, everyone has a blog now.

Our pervy sibling Fleshbot is proud to announce a wholesome contest taking place in New York, in which one lucky perv will win the chance to break into the lucrative world of pornography, courtesy of punky alt-porn lady Joanna Angel:

Joanna herself will create what is known in the porn industry as a “non-sexual role ” for you (with lines and everything!) in her upcoming “Joanna Angel’s Fuckin’ Guide to Fucking”, scheduled to begin filming in New York City this weekend.

To win, send a statement of 25 words or less to fleshbotcontests@gmail.com explaining why you’d like to be in the movie and why you’d be perfect for the role. Sounds easy, but 25 witty words can be tough when you’ve got your hand shoved down your pants.
