Have you ever wanted to write for The Onion, Vanity Fair, or Esquire? Well, you probably can't...

Well, what if I have? And if I indeed did, would I even consider writing for amateurs who have the audacity to insult and condescend to prospective writers by including bad grammar in my ad? Most likely not. I might already know that terms like "freelance", "long term", and "website" are not hyphenated or two separate words. One would think you would get that shit straight before you put on airs like you're the editor of the New York Times. Your ad is unprofessional, arrogant, and smug. Get-your-people-to-rewrite-it. By the way, Holy Grail is capitalized. Please get yourself an AP Style Guide and go back to your coffee-stained drawing board. Dipshits.
