Where Some May See


A stunt for charity:

Give the Gift of Giving Sex Advice

Posted by Jessica Hopper on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 11:33 AM

The Stranger is offering a chance to give what most of us receive plenty of year round: advice. You have until Friday, December 11, at 3 PM central to bid for slot as a guest sexpert in Dan Savage's nationally syndicated Savage Love column, answering a reader query or two and showing the world what sort of pragmatic perverted knowledge you've gained over the years.
...

I see the bold, new, transformational, synergistic, leveraging, curve-bending business model thingie that journalism has been groping around in the sofa cushions trying to find for the last 10 years.

Don't just make the rubes write for free, Arianna -- Charge 'em for the privilege!

The possibilities

are depressingly endless.

You're both right on the mark.

I guess my only option is to take up the independent broke writer's habit of much heavy drinking.

Sigh.

Didn't HuffPo charge for an internship? Hell, that's even better - charge 'em to make copies.
