Next ‘Next’ Editor Has Quite A Challenge
Now that Next EIC Justin Ocean’s jumping ship to head The Out Traveler, the weekly fag rag’s looking for a new leader.
The New York-based magazine’s publishers recently put an ad on Media Bistro and the job description includes this queer stipulation: “Must have ability to juggle extreme personalities of nightlife scene and advertisers.”
“Extreme personalities” must be the polite way of saying, “Self-important, possibly drugged up diva fags from hell.”
Must also be willing to sell your soul and promote shallow gay hedonism as the correct way to be gay and social.
Dear Qjersey,
This is not the proper forum in which to submit your resume.
Thank you for your interest,

Qjersey: so it ain’t the NY Review of Books. Not every publication has to be. Go to Harvard gay & Lesbian Review for intellectual content. Some of us want to know what’s going on in the bar scene. It doesn’t automatically make us idiots.
In Q’s famous words we “must be willing to sell your soul and promote shallow gay hedonism as the correct way to be gay and social.” Pearls of wisdom.
