The Top 16 Reasons to Kiss Up to
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
- The paperboy just might stop throwing the paper on the roof.
- Let’s just say they got a hold of some pictures we’d rather not see published.
- Editors can take you to last bar in America still serving “Billy Beer.”
- Tried kissing up to Ted Turner, but he was busy trying to colorize Bob Dole.
- Olympics, Schmolympics — I wanna timepiece!
- Because we failed miserably in our attempt to kiss up to the stuffy New York Times.
- It couldn’t hurt. Who knows, maybe someday they’ll hold a position of respect and influence.
- Because if they really like you, they let your kids play on their printing presses.
- Top Five List makes excellent insipid filler replacement for insipid Olympic filler.
- Possibility of obtaining AJC’s sweet front row seats to Olympic Synchronized Swimming Finals.
- With a little luck, they’ll stop reprinting those lame David Letterman lists, and start printing these lame Top 5 lists instead.
- Maybe they’ll forget about that time I paid for 1 paper but took 10 out of the machine.
- Having name published in AJC could result in date with “Pocket Hercules.”
- Haven’t you seen Playboy’s “Women of the AJC” issue??
- Because hyphenated names are cool.
And the Number 1 Reason to Kiss Up to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution…
- What? There’s an Atlanta Journal of Prostitution?!
