Maintenance / Re-launch / NOW HIRING!

Hey fans,

Sorry about the lack of quotes recently; the Writers’ Strike hit us pretty hard. Actually, there have been a confluence of factors, like other commitments, school work, and technical problems with our system. Either way, our bad.

But, as such, we are planning a re-launch for after winter break, where we will renew some of our features, kick off a promotional campaign, institute local ads, and begin to hire a staff.
Interested in being an Editor, Webmaster, or Advertising Director for OverheardAtMcGill.com?

If so, please send a CV and a cover letter to
Small stipend possible, depending on the success of local ads.
Editors: Please include any 3 quotes from the website with a headline that you would have given it instead. Editors are responsible for daily content, eavesdropping, selecting quotes, writing headlines. No more than 7-10 hours a week commitment. Must be funny.
Webmaster: Responsible for fixing bugs, implementing new features, and improving upon them. Must have knowledge of Wordpress. PHP and MySQL a plus. Knowledge of OpenAds a super-plus.

Any questions? Send any inquiries to

Girl #2: I don’t even know what a Republican is!

Anyone wishing to get an A should go to the Cathedral, get on their knees and ‘pray’.

Prof: Anyone with a penis the size of a Cathedral is exempt from this assignment.
(Pause)
Prof: Obviously, I won’t be doing it.
