Hopes Magazine starts getting funny again soon
Doswell Blogger Dale Brumfield has a vested interest in seeing that the humor magazine and website The Onion gets funny again after a relatively unfunny dry spell. “I am sick of lifting material that I feel does not live up to my high standards,” claims Brumfield, who fears page views on his own web site Newsfromdoswell is suffering as a result. “Sometimes I actually wince as I copy and paste entire passages straight from the Onion onto my blog. It’s sad.”
Brumfield says the Onion was at its peak right about the time he started his own blog. “Then it went downhill. Sometimes there’s funnier stuff elsewhere on the internet – maybe I could print those 200 lawyer jokes somebody forwarded to me last week. Some of them were kind of funny. But I’m a loyal reader of the Onion, and I cling to the hope that soon they will get funny again, and thusly so will my blog.”
