The Spanner - satirical magazine

simu · 2005-10-26 00:45:36

This magazine was to be found around NUIG this week. And other colleges too, I assume. Has anyone else read it? It's pretty funny although the Róisín Ingle spoof wasn't half as good as Pigman's imo!

though a couple of the articles, such as that roisin ingle one seemed a bit try too hard to be funny..ish

While there's a few funny articles here and there in it (haven't seen any of this year's issues) I would have to say that I prefer The Naked Galwegian (that's a Galway only mag but it's sadly not got money behind it) - http://www.nakedgalway.tk

Also it hasn't been around for a while. Good archives to browse through though.

Simu, how come you are creating two threads about products from the one marketing company in such a short space of time? Do you work for this company? Is this sneaky spam?

Well:

Option 1: I happened to be reading the magazine and saw an ad for the website and was inspired to post about both.

Option 2: I am an employee of this company and have spent the last few years building up a profile on boards.ie all in the hopes that the admins wouldn't notice how I slipped in two advertisements amongst my 6,000+ posts. (effective marketing strategy, huh?)

Take your pick, Sherlock Holmes.

Ah God bless the Naked Galwegian. There's still lively traffic going through their website daily.
