New York - Attempted Tidbits

Since we've already provided a primer to submitting Dos and Don'ts, we figured it'd be a generous service to offer up a couple of helpful suggestions for sending in Tidbits. So here's they are:

1. Products/Objects work best. This is more to do with the layout than us not liking funny ads or store names--if it can't be neatly cut out and dropped on a white background with a tiny little shadow, either we have to crop it down to just the essential part (which looks ugly) or it ends up taking over the page in a huge sprawling mess. Naturally this isn't always the case: Sometimes an abstract idea works every bit as well as some sort of handheld dealer.

2. We've got a running list of products we've done so many times that they have been wrenched of every last drop of intrinsic humor and reverted to being just boring/sad. These include Barfy burgers, Cock soup, Pussy incense, Smack ramen, and everything made by the Bimbo baking corporation of Mexico. Please, please, please do not send us these or slight variations such as Cock gumbo or products made by the Spanish Bimbo bakers.

3. It helps if it's even remotely funny.
