After less than a month, a blog that made fun of the nonprofit world and gender roles has shut down.
Men in Philanthropy, which promised to recognize “the vast, marginally relevant, contributions men have made to the world of philanthropy” has been “removed,” according to its Web site host.
While some said the site was in poor taste — one commenter on Give & Take called it “insulting and stupid” — Phil Cubeta, author of Gift Hub, writes that the short-lived effort brought some badly needed laughs to philanthropy.
“Another fine satiric site goes dark,” he writes.
What do you think? Do we need some blogs poking fun at philanthropy?
