First!

Welcome to The Slant Blog! On this cutting-edge Humor 2.0 platform, we plan to bring you the latest technology in penis jokes, “that’s what she said” quips and, I don’t know, maybe some pointed social commentary. More importantly, this gives us an awesome venue for posting hilarious stuff OTHER people do. Often times, in our extensive research—aka Facebook and Stumble-Upon—we come across the funniest things, but our “stringent standards” prevent us from stealing these outright. Here, however, we can just share, which is sorta like Stealing 2.0, except more hypertexty. Oh, and the authors happily get pageviews and advertising money and mad street cred and stuff like that.

We’ve still figuring out this whole “blogging” thing, but let’s just say we’ve got some enthusiastic “internet nerds,” errr “bloggers” pretty excited. So we should have new content up here regularly. Consider yourself warned.

On a side note, can I boost about how happy this site makes me? As Technical Director of the Slant, I did… absolutely nothing. Nada. I tried doing a bunch of stuff last year as el Presidente of el Slant, but nothing came of that either. So imagine my surprise when Meryem Dede called me up and was all like “Wham! Look at this whole website thing I whipped up! Done!” Slightly more honestly, Meryem and the dude who actually coded the damn thing—programming extraordinaire Jim Hayes—busted their butts for this website. In contrast to the years that our website has floundered in aesthetic purgatory—“I guess this isn’t so bad?”—they got this site to you in less than 2 months. Plus, it looks DAMN good. Props.
