“Don’t cast your pearls before swine. But rejected writings are fair game.”
– The Bible, probably
Since 1998, one internet publication site has redefined humor, becoming a bastion for literary wit, intellectual snark, and aspiring comics.
McSwiney’s is not that site. We are, however, a site dedicated to exclusively publishing humor articles that have been specifically rejected by that site — which is McSweeney’s. We’re talking about McSweeney’s.
Does an article getting rejected by one of the most notable names in online humor mean it wasn’t actually that funny? Probably. But does that mean it shouldn’t be published anyway? Most definitely. But are we going to let that stop us? No way, baby.
Submit your articles with proof of rejection from McSweeney’s, and we’ll gladly publish it. With one publication uploaded every day until the rest of forever. Or until McSweeney’s lawyers give us a call.
