Yeah, except those rounds are a lot more fun in person. To be fair, our joke was that we had to talk slowly since it took them a long time to figure out what a blog was. They're blogging just fine these days. Sorry we didn't clarify that. And I promise the videos will be more fun than this post.

I think #5 wants to have a round 2: "Commenters vs. Chicagoist".

Reader can't grasp the concept of blogging? It took you all like what 3 days to recognize Old Man Stud's Birthday plus 95% of your stories are pulled from Chicago Tribune Online or The Suntimes? How can you be considered media when all you do is paraphrase? I thought blogging was in the now? not in the 3 days or after the morning papers come out.

For the record, it was Ramsin Canon with the Playboy dig; I pulled out a roll of Reader toilet paper. Lots of fun; we'll definitely have to do that again.

Awesome! The, "we suggested they take out an I Saw You ad to win back their missing readers" is hilarious. I must admit the last 3 Readers have had great opening articles, but the Playboy joke was the second funniest jab.
