The fuck?

 

Pretty simple. They want fanbois who can write.

 

FYP

 

Is this a knock-knock joke? 'Cause I don't have a punch line here.

 

this sounds like examiner or something that was called associated content.

 

Wow, a whole $1.10 per 1000 page views. It's insulting that they are even allowed to post that here.

 

At that rate, I can afford that newspaper I'd, uh, "borrow" story ideas from.

 

But ... but ... at 10,000 page views, you'll hit 11 dollars!!

 

What a joke. A buck for 1,000 page views. Didn't know America was a third world country.
