Yes, 12-year-old Billy Caruthers, projected winner of the 2036 presidential election has decided to resign from his pending office in order to dodge controversy surrounding his pending extramarital affair. He -- oh, wait. We totally misread that headline. The president of magazine publisher Future US, Jonathan Simpson-Bint, is stepping down August 31 in order to start up his own business. Simpson-Bint has been working with the company for 18 years, and oversaw the launch of PSM, IGN.com and DailyRadar.com.
Future is currently looking for Simpson-Bint's replacement -- if you've got experience managing humongous publishing companies, yet find yourself working as a lowly fry cook at your local Carl's Jr., perhaps its time you gained some upward mobility.

Yup, same company, just tiny differences. Like Red vs Green Burrito. At least Hardees now has actual Western Bacon Cheeseburgers, that makes them worthy of me.

yea i thought they were the same thing too. i'm from Maryland and we have Hardee's here but I'm a Lakers fan (CHAMPIONS!) and when i watch their games on the NBA League Pass, they always show the same commercials but with "Carl's Jr" where "Hardee's" usually is.

The headline is a pun. Instead of reading it as "Future US President Calls It Quits" you instead read it as "Future's US President Calls It Quits"
Future is a magazine company. The president of the US division of Future has stepped down.
Get it? It's not funny when you have to explain the joke :/

I stopped caring for Future after their "re-imagining" of Nintendo Power...

I had to reread that first sentence 6 times before I got what you were getting at.
The real news is way less awesome that what it sounds like.
