Personally, I don't (or at least I try not to) do snarky writing. I must admit though that some writers do it so well (and for the most part good-naturedly) that it makes me howl with laughter.
For instance, Jezebel.com (one of my new favorite sites) has this article entitled Parenting Author, Childless Woman Weigh In On Baby Couture. It is about a new upscale magazine, Baby Couture, which has the slogan, "We put the 'coo' in couture." I love, love, love magazines so I was eager to read their review.
A few of the lines from the article that had me laughing:
-The Editor's letter begins, "I am what I've coined a 'serial miserablist.'" I stopped reading after that.
-Cayden, Aiden, Braydon, Jayden. Will and Jada, look what you started! Please make this whole trend go away.
-Black kid! Redhead kid! Baby Couture is officially more diverse than Vogue.
In any event, I'd still pick up the magazine. I'm sure that I'll find something helpful/useful in it.
