I'll put FIVE ads between every article.

I wasn’t going to comment on that piece because I decided it wouldn’t do much good to complain, but I will say that I’ve had bad experiences pitching - Broken promises, being strung along, etc. I gave up and moved on. I wish Jalopnik and some of their authors all the success however.

Dear Jalopnik,

I don’t like cars, but I am a kickass software developer and I can help you clean up this poorly-fu nc tioning excuse for a website/ weblog/bathroom wall /whatever- the- hell- this- is.

I will work for diet soda and Doritos.

Please consider my pitch so I can ease the suffering of your readers/lurkers/commenters.

thanks

Willy Webmaster

I have two ideas to pitch... one, list all the names that Ghosn named today with pictures of who they are.

Two, cover interesting stuff from the Canadian International Auto Show that’s happening next month.

Every time I want to whitelist Kinja sites on my a d blocker, I test it out, only to realize they somehow made things worse.

Don’ t forget to post just a YouTube video and a few sentences about how much you like it. Bonus points if it’s a hoonigan video.

nah, I don’t hate any of the authors, they are fine, there are just a couple that I think deserve to go far.

I don’t think it would be right to go into details though you can read my work elsewhere these days, including pieces that could have been on Jalopnik.
