Perhaps you've noticed things are looking a little different around here? Nah, you're not looking through a fun house mirror or Anna Nicole's corneas. Things have changed. We're just hoping it's for the better.
What you're seeing is a new layout that emphasizes a "top story" — a post we've placed on a social pedestal above all the other items because, for reasons we decide at will, it is more important than all the other bastard posts.
We've also created a cutesy auto-refreshing pop-up window called Jossip mini., which we will insist you spell with lowercase letters and add a period at the end. Because we're dicks like that. And we got three weeks into a course on branding and don't know how to stop ourselves.
Meanwhile, we decided to take our once-daily Media Blitz round-up and create a whole bullet-pointed list of constantly updated media headlines. It's a cheap attempt to get you to keep coming to the site throughout the day. Is it working yet?
And let's not forget about comments. You've been waiting two and a half years for them, and now we're going to let you poke fun at us as much as we poke fun at – depending on what magazine you work at – you. So use 'em. Just limit the assholeness to CollegeHumor.com levels rather than, say, Fox News. (Though we'll welcome the latter with open arms, natch.)
Let us know what you think. Do you love us more? Or is all this pink making you start to prefer a chaffed vagina? You can email us your thoughts. Or, you know, leave a comment.

The pink doesn't remind me of a chafed vagina, but it does remind me of Pepto Bismol.
Wouldn't a chafed vagina have more of a hint of red in it?
I prefer chaffed vagina.
Very Pink is the New Blog. Hmm… wonder why? :P
the pink doesnt bug me…the layout though. AUGH. its enough to make my multiday stop bys come to a very quick stop.
The switch to a wider fixed pixel layout is killing me on our low res crap equipment.
Something is wrong with the template or format or whatever on my computer. I know nothing about this stuff, except that the whole page doesn't fit in the width of my screen and I have to scroll over to read the text on the right, which is sort of annoying.
Wow, a slam on Fox News! How brave! How original! Remember kids, if a media outlet isn't spewing leftie propaganda, it's F*A*S*C*I*S*T !!
Me? I like. And I'm very glad that you've given us an option to comment. Makes the Jossip Experience more enjoyable.
Ugh, I much preferred the old style. To be honest, I haven't read anything on here (until today, and I only got this far) since it changed simply because of the look of it and how I now have to 'hunt' for the content because it all looks the same. It's like reading the newspaper now. Not very 'fun' looking any more, and nothing really seems to stand out. You should get your money back from that marketing course.
The new format is wonky.
