J.P. is great and Cracked has been doing much better since he joined them, so it shows. As for Lampoon, you say you never got a handle on how they were working? My friend, I went in and interviewed with them for a flul-time writing position and still didn't know how they were working! I don't think they did either. They just seemed kind of broken and sad about their situation (ie: having to deal with the various areas of the company vying for promotional space on their site, rather than letting them focus on creating original content for the web). And yep, they emailed me about contributing to some new book too, but that entire project appears to have evaporated. 'Tis a sad state of affairs for 'em.

As for their stock, haha, somehow I don't think Jim Cramer would recommend them as a strong buy. Just check out their site traffic rankings right now... I feel bad for 'em. The guys that work there seemed real nice when I met 'em, but the company they work for just can't seem to get it together.
