So what's deal? How does this site work?

We link to those bits of culture floating around on the Web which seem interesting. Video, art, ads, shorts, gimps, ugly 40 year-old men in spandex biker pants, music videos, freaks, and so on. The boundaries are loose, we're all just trying to have a good time, here.

I want to send you a tip to something

Good! Do that!

I'm actually Dick Cheney, and I don't want to be hassled at work when I send you those funny George Bush flash toons

We default thank the tips we use by one name or with a nonspecific tag, unless you tell us otherwise or include a link to a site that you'd like us to "shout-out" to.

I create stuff! I'd like a lot of people to see it! Link to me!

Great, send us a link-- we'll check out anything: your tender short film, claymation, Nazi propaganda, gonad extraction with a broken Coke bottle, furries sex, ads, a cat in a blender, what have you. There are no no-nos. Try us, if it amuses us, we'll go for it.

I need you to host it

Not so fast, white man. We can't host any better than you can. Upload it to YouTube, then we'll check that out. It's easy, plus you'll get more eyeballs. Everybody wins.

I'm being paid to create "word of mouth interest" in this fine product, so naturally the best way to get on your site is pretend like this obvious ad for some stupid thing is like just so totally cool, man!

Look genius, we link to ads anyway-- just send us a link and don't try to engage our enthusiasm. We've seen it. A lot. If you're really goofy about pretending to be something you're not, we'll post your efforts and goof on that, as it will be way better than whatever you're shilling.

You cover trendy Internet content? So where's that big trendy so and so on all of the other sites right now?

You saw it, right? So did we. A lot. Zzzzzzzzz.

Hey! I saw that now trendy Internet thing on Screenhead a billion years ago! They didn't mention you!

Don't mail us this. It just makes us depressed. Seriously.

You didn't write me back

Sincere apologies, we certainly read it, and we will write you back, that is unless you chimed in to send us a tip for something currently on the front page. Is the PgDn button too much for your tender digit, sweetums?

You ripped off my link without credit! You suck!

Never intentionally. Look at the other posts to see how we credit sources when we find stuff. If you feel ripped off, we most likely we got an anonymous tip. Mail us, we're reasonable.

We're going to rip off your link and/or text without credit! Suck it!

Knock yourself out. But we'll almost certainly see it, and so will our readers, and we'll all know who the bottom is in the relationship, Fifi.

My espresso has no crema, even though I bought this expensive machine. Shit!

The grinder is actually a lot more important than the machine. You need a burr grinder, there's no getting around it. Also, your tamp is probably too loose: 30-35lb of pressure is common. Are those beans fresh?

Just how swayed are you by the paying advertisers?

All ads are clearly identifiable as ads, and editorial content is separate and objective. Once a week we thank paying advertisers, but we tell you right then and there that's what we're doing. Some times we get "payola" in the form of review copies of media, DVDs or so on, but these are in fact only standard screening material as required to check the thing out, and only referred to as "payola" facetiously. You can't buy our love, but lemon juice will get the stain out of most things.

Who publishes this site? How many of you are there? What's a "dong resin?"

dong resin is all around you. He's one lone idiot but refers to himself in the plural in a tedious way to suggest that there is more going on than there really is, but he does so assuming you're in on the joke. Screenhead is published by Gawker Media. Yeah, we know. We don't know what they were thinking either.

Gawker Media?
Gawker Media. Nick Denton is the chief mucky muck about these parts.

Lockheart Steele is in fact 78% metal and our last best hope against the machines

We're not saying yes and we're not saying no.

I want to advertise here

Wise, young one:
The Screenhead Ad Info page

I want to comment on your site, you velvet rope-slinging fob!

Just mail us asking for an invite. Stop making a fuss, you only have to do it once.

That head scares the shit out of me
Really? You're the first one, ever.
