Folks, just a friendly reminder that The Burgshit is SATIRE.

We poke fun at Phillipsburg, its politics, its people, and most importantly, ourselves. We’re here to make you laugh, not ruin your day. Hell, our name should’ve been your first clue.

I’ve always believed:

“The most successful satire doesn’t just make people laugh. Sometimes, it makes them uncomfortable because they recognize an uncomfortable truth.”

Not every joke is about you, and not every headline is a personal attack. Sometimes, a joke is just a joke.

So relax, laugh a little, and stop taking everything so damn seriously. We love this town, but let’s face it, Phillipsburg gives us plenty of material.

And remember, if you can’t laugh at yourself, there’s a good chance the rest of Phillipsburg already is.
