Does anyone know who's behind this?

(It's a satirical paper distributed in some Galway shops that's very funny, for those who don't know).

Been talking to someone who leaves the Naked Galwegian around. They're a bit tight lipped on who writes it. It has been coming out every two weeks so far.

Here's the rundown on the shops you can get it in though:

2001 Video Library, Clan Video, Blue Note (off licence section), Roisin Dubh, Banana Phoblacht, Java's, Subcity, GPO (off licence section).

It's also in the two colleges AFAIK.

Doesn't seem too funny, just relies on swear words for semi-shock value.

To each their own I suppose. Lots of people don't find us funny - some do. Although I have to say that saying we just rely on swear words for semi-shock value isn't exactly accurate

http://www.geocities.com/nakedgalway/10-mccaul.htm

Stories from the latest issue above don't contain swear words at all. Of course you may still find them unfunny.

Drake is special.

He fell from a tree when he was 3 years old and broke both his funny bones, leaving him a miserable emotional cripple.

The Naked Galwegian has come under threat from the city council who are attempting to curb its printing and distribution.

Help save Galway's best free paper by attending the 'Save the Naked Galwegian' rally in The Roisin Dubh on Thursday 17th November.

Don't let The Man keep us down. Don't let the forthcoming issue 12 be our last issue.

SAVE THE NAKED GALWEGIAN!!!!

(There will be live music from The Maladies and Ten Past Seven and we will be distributing free badges - yay!)

The next issue will be out in less than two weeks.

As for where to pick it up - see the sticky at the top of this forum.

It was irregularly published. But if the City Council have their way it will never be published again. So come along and show your suppor ton the 17th.

I like the nakedgalwegian but I havent read much of it (the CPs thing was brilliant though). Why exactly are they opposing it? Did you receive written legal threats from the council or businesses or what?

What'll they threaten next, the letters page of the advertiser?

Hmmm I think you may be taking it a bit too seriously grasshoppa. Have you read the Galwegian? I wouldn't believe anything that spews from their lying mouths but it's great fun.

I'll be there for sure.
