It's a perfect record of shit.<br /><br />You couldn't print such perfect shit if you were running the presses in a pigsty with slop for ink. <br /><br />To find that much shit while blowing that much dough takes a kind of perfectly inverted genius.<br /><br />You'd think at a minimum they'd be able to grasp they should use real writers to screen the drek pile; but then if they ever did publish something halfway literate their sub-moron IQ readership couldn't begin to understand what the fuck was being said (like these two geniuses commenting here).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904498640576019193.post-28171550516118243022011-04-17T12:28:32.377-07:002011-04-17T12:28:32.377-07:00Wow!

If it means anything to you at all..<BR/><BR/>Additionally, I think they make their choices on POTENTIAL more than perfection..keep in mind a lot of those submissions have not been pored over by editors and skilled eyes. Think of it as canadian idol for writers..you gotta start somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
