Wordpress is the way to go?

I'm trying to pick what CMS to use, and Joomla is way too fucking complicated to even begin working with.  I don't know if Wordpress will do what I want it to do, I need the end result to look like this on certain pages: alturl.com/sb8v and article pages to look entirely different etc etc...  So there would be different layouts on different sections.

Is it even possible with open source CMS to do these kind of things or do I have to go to plan B and rob a bank and hire staff to do it?  If you wanna help out a /b/rother out with his startup, please reply or shoot me an e-mail.  Thanks-

Not the way to get help around these parts.
I don't know if it will do what you want, but I think django has a method for dealing with urls that might be what you're after. That said, I program microcontrollers not web apps so I'm probably wrong.

I assume you refer to the fact that Mr. /b/rother dared to post here in the first place.

Well, quite.

brother!? more like bother!!

Yes, you can do it with Wordpress.
You can do it with Drupal.
You can do it with whatever.
You might have to do some coding.
This is all the help you're going to get.
Goodbye.

I was just playing around, I didn't think you guys would be so against it.  Well, I have checked django and it looks very interesting to say the least, but the lack of plugins can be troublesome, since I don't know python, or much programming to say the least.

We're not against CMS, we're against laziness. Read this book and don't return till you've completed it. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

Django isn't a CMS, it is a web development framework. You're not going to get anywhere without a solid programming background.

Stick to Wordpress, even my mother can do it. I'm not joking either.
