Neither/Nor

McSweeney's can be hit or miss. Some of the premises are no good, some of the bits don't stay funny for very long, and then there are those bits that fall apart at the end and leave you shaking your head in bewilderment and sadness. "How could they have blown it?" you'll think to yourself. "They were locked in and so close to home."

One such bit popped up yesterday. The premise was great, the different song titles were pretty funny, but then the last song was "Smack My Fax Up" which I'm pretty sure is a reference to "Smack My Bitch Up," which is a song by Prodigy, which isn't even a rap act.

The last song title could have been moved up so that the end of the bit wouldn't be such a letdown. Better yet, the song could have been cut. Also, the order of the songs could have been better, but that's more of a taste thing than a craft thing.
