The PaulKatcher.com press section is officially open. A buddy of mine called Wednesday morning to say he saw a magazine review of my site, and I finally got a hold of the issue. (See full-size scan.)
Turns out the magazine is titled Unlimited and is published by Marlboro. Last year it was known for leading the industry in ad pages targeted at future cancer patients. Among the eight sites reviewed in the Summer 2003 issue, mine is one of only five that are "Worth a Bookmark." (Take that AirlineMeals.net.) Let's see how I did:
What It Is
A dork has made a regularly update Web site about news and bar crawling so cool it has garnered him hot female fans, some of whom are bikini models who have their own Web sites. Who knew the Internet was still this powerful?
Best Page
Paul's account of his trip to Hedonism II makes you want to go to the resort and stay very far away.
Biggest Surprise
Paul isn't as ugly as you would think.
Biggest Letdown
Paul seems smart, but his favorite movie is Hamburger: The Motion Picture
The author, I noticed immediately, is Joel Stein, a regular columnist for Time and Entertainment Weekly, who really is one of my favorite writers. I wish I could link to his columns more often, but AOL Time Warner has blocked his EW work from being accessible online unless you're an EW subscriber or stupid enough to pay $23.95/month for an inferior ISP like AOL.
As for being labeled a dork by Joel, I think this set of pictures will give credence to the adage "it takes one to know one." But I know he's just kidding and that he probably also had a teenage crush on the lovely Randi Brooks, a stunning actress best known for her scantily-clad work as Mrs. Vunk in Hamburger: The Motion Picture.
You are not as ugly as I would think?!? ... Ugly? ... *I* take offense to that remark.
Posted by PeeWee at June 20, 2003 1:19 AMI do like the part about hot chicks reading the site, though. If I read your posts, does that automatically make me a "hot chick"?
Good.
