11 dead in French satirical magazine shooting

[Razgovory]

I don't know why this shit surprises me.  Saw it on the Egypt thing, see it now.

Yeah Seigy and Duque duelling over language was even odder in that one, than this.

That's where Dguller first called me "defender of the faith".  If it means that I don't agree with

The year 2013 must be one of the best years for Uncle Vlad.  He must be going "I told you so" every time he turns on the news.  Suddenly his policy of supporting indiscriminate slaughter of Islamist protesters doesn't seem so repulsive.

Then I'll gladly take that title.

[Valmy]

Well clearly.  The idea of defending a group of people who are labeled as "scum", is unconvincing to the people who hate them.

Whatever dude.  You love attacking those people in your own backyard but are a noble champion to them thousands of miles away whatever good that does.

Nobody lives in my backyard.

Well it might provide a welcome change from the basement when the weather gets warmer

But I wasn't being literal there.

Please tell me which local ethnic group I was calling scum wanted destroyed.

Not until you start standing up for the little guy in America.  It is easy to support the unwashed masses when you do not have to smell them yourself!

[Legbiter]

At least there are some recent job openings at Charlie Hebdo if anyone here on Languish can draw.

Raz has always been one for the popular liberal trends. Never for the little guy.

You had to go back more than a year to find a quote that could be taken out of context?

Who do you guys consider to be the little guy?

[Martinus]

Who do you guys consider to be the little guy?

Danny DeVito?

Seedy, Katmai, and that other drunk.

Dinosaur Comics guy might get paid now.

I just saw some figures on the newspaper.  This magazine prints about 60,000 copies in each issue.  Each one sells for 3 Euro.  There are about 40 staff.  Of course, the major source of income is going to be advertisements.  But the sales figures still seem tiny to me, and I find it hard to believe that the entire operation is commercially viable.

I heard the normal print run is 16,000, not 60,000.

My guess is a lot of advertising for their online edition.

Not advertisements. The newspaper has from the relaunch in the '90s been owned by the editor, the newspaper's big names and/or top  backerss. They were somewhat supported by another leftist newspaper so they have a whopping amount of one page of ads. Free satirical press comes at a price.

45,000 in 2012 seems more likely as reported by this source http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/medias/20121004.OBS4594/charlie-hebdo-triple-ses-ventes-avec-les-caricatures-de-mahomet.html

L'hebdomadaire satirique a vendu plus de 150.000 exemplaires de son numéro du 19 septembre, contre 45.000 habituellement.
