Welcome to the Idol Bat! The Idol Bat is an online publication dedicated to laughter and, ultimately, world domination. We are based out of Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, a location that is brought to you by the number “4″ and the letter “W”. Staff members include a prominent member of congress, several super intelligent mice, that one woman from TV, Elvis, and some green chick who keeps wanting to talk to our leader and phone home. We’re not really sure where we picked her up.

We have a deep and abiding suspicion of all things factual, instead preferring to revel in satire, opinion, and ridiculousness. We do, however, enjoy the word “lugubrious”. Some things can’t be helped.

When we publish

Columns are published regularly (dependent on the column, this may be once a week on a given day, once a month, or some other interval), whereas articles are published whenever we feel like it. We generally try to publish two to three things every week, and more if at all possible. We try to liven things up with doctored images whenever we think of a good one.

Money is an idol’s best friend

If you like us and want to support us with some of the moola, check out the Idol Bat Online Store. We sell hilarious T-shirts (among other things) at prices as reasonable as they get at CafePress. We’ve bought our own stuff; it’s high quality. Proceeds go toward defraying the costs of publishing online, and occasionally buying jelly beans. Mmmm, jelly beans.

Want to write for us?

We’re always interested in adding authors to the fold! If you like to write humor and are interested in dedicating some time to the Idol Bat, drop Ian Beck, the Editor-in-Chief and resident clown, a line through the contact form.

Disclaimer

The Idol Bat is a work of satire, and is meant to be taken as such. All names, with the exception of public figures and some school officials, are fabricated. The only exception to this is if we have consent. All quotes are fabricated, no matter how realistic they seem.

If you feel that the Idol Bat is libelous or needlessly inflammatory, is infringing on copyright, or is in any other way violating the rights of others, please contact Ian Beck, the Editor-in-Chief immediately.

Everything is in good, if sometimes cynical, fun. Please do not sue us. We would cry on the stand.
