Diesel Hi, my name's Diesel. I run this site. I started it as a lark, because all of the other humor blog directories I found sucked. Anyway, my own humor blog is Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary. It's listed over there on the upper right. That's what's known in the biz as a "conflict of interest." Deal with it.

Magazine 13

Magazine 13 fared pretty well with our reviewers. Over half of the reviewers mentioned problems with grammar, spelling or usage, however. I suspect a little more proofreading could have landed this blog in the top tier of the humor-blogs hierarchy.

Some quotes from our reviewers:
The grammar was awful and the content was offensive.

The first post was funny. The others, eh not so much. This blog has more than one author and a good point is that they differentiate between authors; the bad point is that some of them have awful spelling and grammar habits. I chuckled at the very least but don't think I'd come back again.

Having never heard of this blog even remotely, I was a little hesitant. This is actually really, really funny stuff. There are different "columnists", so it's likely that there's something here for everyone. My fave is Paul/Michael, who completely owned me on the Chinese Toy Recall post. I would like some more proofreading...missing words and unfortunate typos distract from the overall experience. This was really strong, and I will definitely be back.

This blog is original and quite funny, but the authors need to brush up on spelling and usage. The mistakes I came across in several posts just made me cringe, and I can't laugh and cringe at the same time (guess I'm not good at multitasking). I'll be back in spite of this, because the posts really kept me laughing.

It works, it's funny.

Gah! Google Ads! Pet Peeve... can't review... Honestly though? It's a newish blog. And we should revisit this blog once it gets it's "sea legs" and gains a bit more momentum, and a bit more of an audience.

Not bad. Not GREAT, but not bad. That said, I did enjoy the "gist" of a couple of the posts, but I was somewhat distracted by the misspellings and/or poor grammar. I know... details, but that's where the Devil resides (or so I've been told).

I see potential here for a really funny blog but it is just not there yet. The glaring grammar errors are a big issue as well.

A couple of good giggles in there. The layout was your basic boring blogspot layout. I would have liked to see a little effort in that department, just for the sake of it. I said 'no' to the 'would i read it regularly question' just because there are a lot of blogs out there, and it didn't have any stand-out pizzazz. I like pizzazz.
I guess those quotes pretty much speak for themselves: If the authors work on the spelling and grammar, Magazine 13 has potential.

I find it pretty humorous that you tear up blogs on spelling/grammer when my own blog is in this very review queue and is not only misspelled but also apparently has some coding problem; it looks like it's in some other language. One point down for 'ya all' for not walking the walk when you talk the talk!

VE - You do realize that you are the one who misspelled your blog name?

First of all, thanks to all the reviewers for taking the time to check out our blog. Everybody participating in Magazine13 was super-excited when they found out that we got our review scores. We read your impressions and took all of your comments and suggestions seriously.
We're apologizing if we insulted anyone - I'm certain that no one here intended to be offensive.
Having seen what effect bad spelling and grammar made on our visitors, it was decided that the person responsible should do the right thing - cut of one of their fingers with a rusty, miniature saw.
Sadly, I'm that person.
Anyway, thanks again for the review - hope you'll visit again.
Now, I have to do some sawing...

No, thanks, Joel - I'll use my urine. It's slightly cheaper.

I am pretty far down in the review queue. I don't know how much longer I can be funny. How far back do you go when you review a site?
