Sabotage Times - great for reading, writing too perhaps?

I came across this site by accident. It's a website that contains articles about anything and everything. I found it originally by googling a show that my daughter watches called "Grandpa in my Pocket". The review was hilarious and oh so true! And I have been a regular reader there ever since.
The style of most of the articles is a bit quirky. And I like quirky. The views are a bit left of centre, which mostly meet my own views, and others challenge my thinking, which is also good. The standard of writing is generally high, in my opinion at least.
I find the articles very enjoyable, and some days I find myself winging from one subject to the next.
I noticed recently that they welcome new writers. You have to email them any article that you'd like them to consider and if it's good enough they will publish it. While they don't pay, they do have a syndication wing, and if they manage to sell any of your stuff you get a percentage. However, it's also always great to have your work published on a quality site.
I was wondering if anybody here has come across Sabotage Times. Or if you write for them? If not it might be worth a look. What do you think?

I had never seen the sabotage times before but i agree with you that it is a brilliant website.There is a very quirky selection of articles and they are very well written I have just read an interesting article on ice creams vans.And how it is a very cut throat industry with serious competion between ice cream vans sometimes turning violent.I think i will be checking the website regularly from now thank you for putting me on to it.

Thanks anklemash, I'm glad you liked it too. I have started to visit it there on a regular basis as well. The articles make me think, and some of them make me laugh too.

(Meant to say "I have started to visit it on a regular basis", trying to type while talking to my daughter - always a mistake, sorry! )
Thanks for your answer. :)
