Rofl, a writer from SA.com was on a TV show yesterday, and these were the instructions he was given from the site owner/boss of SA (called Lowtax):
Lowtax: I think you should concentrate on making SA seem like the worst site in the world. Come off as a real jerk. Refer to SA by the wrong name, like "Something Is Awful dot com" or "Some Things Awful." Make up facts about the site. Claim I'm in jail. Say we're being investigated by the FBI.
Lowtax: Seriously, make sure everything you say is 100% wrong. Don't answer any questions legitamately. I want people who never heard of SA before the interview to think it's a horrible site and never want to visit.
Lowtax: say I couldn't do the interview because I'm under house arrest
Lowtax: If I look at the SA stats and notice traffic has spiked after your interview, I'm going to know you did a terrible job
This is a link to the video, so damn funny:
