Is SPIN really circling the drain?

Can I send these fucking Car & Drivers back and get the rest of my SPIN sub?

Hansen said Lucid is setting up the company to get into the craze that’s sweeping the industry: advertising content. But unlike most other media properties, Spin Media’s version of advertising content will have editorial doing the heavy lifting for brands.

“We’ll never win a Pulitzer Prize,” Hansen said. “Celebrity content is a commodity. The key is what you do with it. You have to delineate between what’s edit content and sponsored content, but do that in a way with a distinction that does not decrease the editorial experience.”

This service, called “Spin Productions,” is a dedicated creative team that’s integrated with editorial. When it comes to advertising, the company believes if a publisher can contextually integrate advertising with content, higher levels of performance, and, yes, higher CPMs will follow.

ugh god gross

Q: Is SPIN really circling the drain?
A: Yes.

SPIN is the drain

"We'll never win a Pulitzer Prize" -- truer words have never been spoken

maybe they'll start a pulitzer for best sponsored content

"Celebrity content is a commodity. The key is what you do with it" = "We devalue real writing. We are talentless advertising-hungry hacks who will run this publication into the ground as fast as possible and then cash out"

Doing print issues again after they tossed the editor and announced their intent to "contextually integrate advertising with content"...No thanks Mr. TruCar/Geo-Cities guy

The cases may look old, but there's nothing dated about doing Baauer's "Harlem Shake,"

"So last year, I wanted to get an original shirt and this guy was getting rid of all his college shit," says Lexi McGruder, owner of this incredible T-shirt from the original Lollapalooza festival. "I was born in 1992. My parents had me when they were 20 and they went. I looked it up online and it's going for $75."

Wow, I bought one for $10 in 2000!

I guess I'm the one who's crazy... I think the lyrics to "Summer Girls" make sense.

The goofy pop culture references are things that remind him of of previous summers.

Wait what in the living fuck at this Marilyn Manson story. I have never heard this either. This is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

"The LAPD" between "The Jim Rose Circus" and "Courtney Love's BFFs" on a 50 Worst Moments Of The '90s list is some "more buzzfeed than buzzfeed" shit

i can't believe they forgot "Lump," genocide in the Balkans and the Butthole Surfers suing Touch & Go.

lol

Julianne otm throughout tho

Me neither. I've gotten most of my friends to call it "Reer." It doesn't really deserve a 3-syllable term.

ive heard it called reray

ooh! that's a good one.

the more r's the better.

I kinda think some of the Jerky Boys stuff still holds up really well and is not really in poor taste at all.
