I'm not the guy who wins awards and gets mentioned in magazines.” PeopleThinkingLooksFactsUsedGuyWinningAudienceIndustryTraditionalMagazinesComicAwardsRespectableBuyers Author:Jhonen Vasquez
“Plagiarism has been around far longer than the Internet. In fact, I had a poem published in 'Seventeen' magazine when I was 15 years old. About a year later I was informed that there was a girl who used that same poem to win a statewide poetry competition in Alabama. It took months for people to put together that this had happened.” PeopleYearsHas BeensFactsTogetherUsedGirlWinningHappenedMonthsInternetCompetitionMagazinesSeventeenAlabamaPlagiarism Author:Megan McCafferty
“In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that _men_ know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is _look_ at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.” KnowsMenWellsEnoughFactsHomeRunningJobsPastCertainKnow HowTakenBrokenMen And WomenWoodsDecadesMagazinesAssumptionShopsArticlesTransfersSuggesting Author:Robert Briffault
