Welcome to IRREVERENT. We’ve been lowering the bar for journalistic integrity since 1993.
Our (Highly Questionable) History
Back in 1993, someone gave us access to a printing press, which was a terrible mistake. We started as a physical, paper-and-ink publication that you could actually roll up and use to swat flies. By the 2000s, we realized that printing things cost actual money, so we boldly pivoted to the digital frontier.
Fast forward to today, and we've completely overhauled the site into this shiny new iteration you're currently staring at. We hope you love the new look as much as we hated building it.
The Truth About Our "Journalism"
Before you write an angry letter to your congressman about our coverage, here is the most important thing you need to know: IRREVERENT is a parody. We traffic in humor, satire, and absolute absurdity.
- The stories? Entirely fabricated. If you read that the McDonald's CEO is being paid in Mars real estate or that a toilet is hosting a podcast, please do not use us as a primary source for your doctoral thesis.
- The opinions? Suspect at best.
- The legal liability? Hopefully zero. We remind you that everything here is a joke.
Meet the "Staff"
IRREVERENT isn't just a collection of funny articles; it's a meticulously crafted ecosystem of chaos. Our writers aren't just bylines—they are fully realized, completely fictional characters with their own bizarre histories, deeply held grudges, and public beefs.
When Editor-in-Chief Scott Meadow isn't penning commencement addresses to imaginary universities, he's trying to manage this dysfunctional bullpen. That includes political heavyweight Sam Turge, tech correspondent Madison Garcia (who is currently feuding with her smart home appliances), and perennial runway refuge Kharla, a 1990s model-turned-fashion editor who has more intimate fashion stories than a Reader's Digest has blandness. You can google it.
They are petty, they are highly unprofessional, and they are entirely made up for your laughs. Or hopefully a smirk.
The Man Behind the Curtain
While the masthead is populated by an expanding universe of fictional neurotics, the actual humans pulling the strings (mainly Scott) has been doing this for a long time. This latest relaunch is the culmination of decades spent refusing to take the world seriously.
Welcome to the new IRREVERENT. Read, laugh, and for the love of god, don't believe a word we say.
