What is The Ogre?
The Ogre is the world’s leading local satirical news publication. Putting an end to the tyrannical rule of locally run news stations for the better part of however long you’ve been alive, The Ogre has been reporting stories it guesses are happening in your neighborhood. All with the integrity you deserve, and with way more intrigue than anything Doris on Maple Ave could come up with. We are a hub for satirical local news, advice, opinions, profiles, how-to’s, short stories, and poetry, without any of the corporate media hangups like a devotion to the truth or proper spelling.
Why is it called The Ogre?
We aren’t into hand holding here, but even if we did want to tell you, we couldn’t as it’d mean we’d lose out on the gold that alley magician promised us. Figure it out.
Who is The Ogre’s Audience?
Anyone but my family.
Where does The Ogre‘s content come from?
Predominantly from the bored, attention-seeking founder, Rocky Brown. Though the egotistical stronghold occasionally relents when a stellar piece of work comes in from a submitting author (which is encouraged). We believe opinions, advice columns, and even news stories are best when made up by those who have little to no credentials.
What went so wrong in my life that it led me to reading the ‘About’ section of a satirical blog?
You either 1) are a part of my family, in which case THIS ISN’T FOR YOU. Or 2) you didn’t listen to your gut when it suggested you forgo colored hair gel for your middle school dance. Your early-aged social erosion would’ve been avoided and there’s a chance you might’ve become an engineer who worked towards improving cordless drills. Instead you’re here because you’re avoiding tasks that someone pays you to do or you’re ignoring someone who loves you all so you can read about the genesis of an internet blog.
FAQ
Can I submit to The Ogre?

What if I don’t like what I read and feel the best way to inflict my will on someone expressing their creativity via mythical creature titled blog is to sue them?
Please do not do that. The First Amendment protects satire as a form of free speech and expression. The Ogre uses invented names in all of its stories, except in cases where public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental. The Ogre is not intended for readers under 18 years of age.
