“Tiger Magazine”

[UPDATED BELOW] The Princeton Tiger, our resident humor rag, has been absolutely tearing up the internets lately. Their latest video, “Discussions in Contemporary Poetry: A conversation with Paul Muldoon,” features some erudite commentary from our beloved Professor of Creative Writing. The unlikely subject: Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok.” See the deep poetic genius in action:

Juxtaposition of high and low culture! (Especially enjoyed the Lear reference.) It’s funny! Apparently, it’s this funny. And this funny. And this funny. They throw up an adorable shoutout to their poetry editor: “Oh Paul, you totally make it pop.”

So, Tiger Mag, a tip of the hat — for making this video, for making waves. And for enriching the vocabulary of a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. (Notable additions: “crunk,” “junk.”)

UPDATE: These guys picked up on it too. Viral status is imminent.

UPDATE II: And also the Village Voice and the New York Times (!).

What’s your favorite newspaper? The New York Times

What’s the funniest joke you’ve ever heard? Okay, so there’s this great one I have, but it’s mostly funny because it’s about weasels. So these two weasels are unwinding at a local bar after a tough day, they’re having a few drinks, chatting, eating some nuts, typical weasel behavior. But one of the weasels isn’t holding his liquor well, and turns to the other and says: “I slept with your mother.” The other weasel ignores him, trying not to make a scene, but he repeats: “I slept with your mother!” The whole bar goes quiet, things get really tense. The other weasel turns to him and says, “Dad, go home, you’re drunk.” Endjoke.

What’s your favorite Tiger Mag article? Difficult to say, I love all my children equally, but I’m going to have to go with “Is It Sex?” (Warning: It is definitely rated NC-17)

21 Questions With…Myra Gupta ‘12

Sure, you might read a copy of the Prince while eating your cornflakes, or grab a Nassau Weekly off the table when you head out of the dining hall–but campus media is headed to the Internet.

Princeton’s newest publications–Equal Writes, American Education Review, which launches in December, and this blog–have all been web-only, and will likely stay that way. 127-year-old Tiger Magazine recently relaunched its website, adding consistently updated content, and American Foreign Policy has done the same.

The Prince is also shifting toward a more web-oriented model, says editor-in-chief Matt Westmoreland ‘10.

“Not only is there so much more we can do on our Web site that we can’t do in print, but there will come a time in the future when The Daily Princetonian is an online-only publication,” Westmoreland said. “We need to make sure that we’re making as much progress as we can, so that when that time comes … we’ve built a new media infrastructure that will have the opportunity to grow even more.”
