It was an interesting experience to say the least. The story was published today and is definitely worth a read and also includes a . It’s cheeky and in general follows the same sentiment I had towards the whole experience. The author, Rich Juzwiak, has the longer unedited version on his blog as well. My take on it is here. After the jump are some of the images that didn’t run in the final version.
