Future US president calls it quits

by Griffin McElroy { Jun 18th 2009 at 7:55PM }

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.

Hardee's = Carl's Jr.

at least i think

LaughingTarget @ Jun 18th 2009 8:26PM

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.

Five Guys > all of those.

My mind? Blown.

What the hell am I even reading?!

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 :/

Is Bint Simpson Homer's nephew?

MechaGamerX @ Jun 18th 2009 8:27PM

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

Azbulldog @ Jun 18th 2009 8:37PM

They did that? Damn.

bongoes @ Jun 18th 2009 8:46PM

It's not that bad, It still looks the same, they've made a few improvements, the new guys aren't bad, they increased the number of advertisements... yeah I don't care for them either.

They took down the Nsider forums and everything that was connected with it, the community, fan art, Camp Hyrule. My first issue was 141 February 2001 and my last was 234 November 2008. Hmph.
