Gelfmagazine

Eftersom vi värnar om vårt goda rykte så måste vi härmed lämna ett varningens ord för www.gelfmagazine.com. Det har inget med Gelfblog att göra.

Det som dock är skrämmande är deras FAQ. Här kommer ett litet utdrag från den:

- What are you?

A webzine. Run by two and a half guys.

- Why the retro term "webzine"? What's wrong with "blog"?

Webzine is more accurate. We're not really logging stuff, though we use
software that can log stuff.

- Why are you called "Gelf"?

It was our first idea, and we haven't had any better ones. You'll remember it, won't you? [Gelf gelf Gelf.] Which is the point, after all. The New Republic is neither new nor a republic. And The Nation hardly represents the Nation, the Wall Street Journal is largely a journal not of Wall Street, but of other stuff. We hear The Economist isn't actually about Economics. [Gelf gelf Gelf GELF.] And the New York Review of Books has all these essays that aren't about books at all. Stop bugging us. We have no good answers, only longish ones. More examples of titular mismatches appreciated. [Gelf gelf Gelf GELF. Gelf!] Where are all the stones rolling to anyway?

Klart srämmande... See you in court "Gelf magazine".
