The Superficial is hiring an editor

December 1st, 2005 // 18 Comments

The last time we came to you guys for an additional editor things went splendidly, which is why we’re doing it again. If you are mind-bogglingly obsessed with celebrity gossip and you’ve got a scathing wit, then we are so looking for you. Just fill out our application form and if we think you fit with us we’ll get in contact with you. There’s not a time limit for applications, but we’d like to get an additional editor as soon as possible.

*Edit: For those wondering, this is a paid part-time position. And for those not wondering, just ignore the previous sentence.


  1. Application sent. I tried to make my writing samples funny and realized later that I misspelled Turkey Baster. I must have been really excited about those words.

  2. Quite possibly a stupid question, but is this a paid position?

  3. That Girl

    I would apply, but I have a job at Wal-Mart.

  4. Linnea

    If only I had that sort of time on my hands. Alas, it is spent sleeping and drinking unhealthy and illegal amounts of alcohol. And answering internet surveys about my (lack of) a sex life.

  5. HollyJ

    I want this job.

    Will you call me Camilla and name me “Woman of the Year?”

  6. Hmmm. Let me ask the bitch and I’ll get back to you.

  7. Bobby Roastbeef

    I had to look up what the word visceral meant.

    I still don’t know what it means.

  8. I’ve applied.
    Don’t know how witty I was, but whatever. I like to talk about bitches, and it’s fun when they get mad.

  9. Belle

    I’ve applied. This is exciting stuff. Exciting stuff indeed.

  10. Belle

    I didn’t mention this in my application, but I do graphic and web design and study Kabbalah. It’s like I have enlightened insight on the workings of a web site *and* anorexic grandmothers. And grasshoppers. Oh, and hillbillies. With red strings, that is.

  11. SideBar

    this would be the perfect tool to tickle my trash talking bone..

  12. I applied. I can’t think of anything better than actually using my skills of celebrity gossip reading for something as good and pure as ‘The Superficial’. Wish me luck!

  13. Wow, thanks.

    I didn’t realize I wanted to do something like this, until I saw it. Applied nonetheless.

  14. apotheosis

    Everything I need to know about celebrities, I learn here. Getting this job would be borderline incestuous.

  15. Dashing and Daring

    I can’t stand reading, writing or listening to anything that involves celebrities, but I am shallow, so I applied. I also enjoy writing to celebrities, but only mildly amusing threats about bananas and a pitching wedge.

  16. Binky

    This stuff is edited ? !! ?

  17. Righteous. I would flip out all over the place if I got hired.

  18. hafaball

    I applied too :D

    if anything is copied from anything you’ve ever written, it’s purely subconscious…purely. So, you know, it wouldn’t count and stuff.
