This is just jaw-dropping BAD.

Like a commenter said, this is some douchecanoe pretending he's Tucker Max. Undoubtedly all talk, just as my friends and I were in junior high when we pretended to be Valley Girls. The less attention given to this dude, the better - more than likely he's angling for some sort of writing job (this is LA, mensas) and any publicity he gets, bad or good, will just improve his chances.

The real crime here is that he isn't even funny.

33girl: The way I read the stories, this douchecanoe (and I would use stronger terms in private) is rather real.
Perhaps we should just leave it up to USC and Kappa Sigma's National to figure it out.
Real or not, this goes way beyond a Hollywood or Madison Ave writing audition.

And DeltaBetaBaby I agree with you-There is no humor in anything he wrote.

Well-The story is getting wider and weirder:

There's been some speculation of a cover-up.

I wouldn't believe anything re this incident that I read on Jezebel. They have a very clear agenda. That's proven by the fact that you have to be "approved" to post there, even about something as innocuous as children's books.

I. CANNOT. STAND. JEZEBEL.

At first, it was fun--a cheeky reaction to women's magazines, etc. Now it's just a lot of self-serving harpies who have taken the fun out of feminism.

A. The OP in this thread has a link from Jezebel. This is their follow-up. Hence the link from Jezebel (although they're actually re-posting something from ONTD Feminism - which I can't get to at work anyway).
2. The tiers of commenting is on all GawkerMedia sites (Gizmodo, Gawker, Lifehacker, i09) and is really fucking annoying. It does not prove Jezebel's agenda since the commenters on GawkerMedia sites outside of Jezebel display the most grotesque misogynistic thought processes I've ever had the "pleasure" of reading. Don't disagree with you about Jezebel's agenda, however.
C. There was a reason I used the word "speculation" and not "THIS IS TOTALLY A COVER-UP."

I think it's stuck in the middle, some people want it to be more about fasion, sex, and gossip and some want it to BE a feminist blog. And it's hard to snark about people's looks and then complain about fat shaming in the next post.
I read some of the posts, more to get links to other things.

I like ONTD feminism. That's all I have to add here.

I had to read this three times to understand what you were talking about. I know nothing about GawkerMedia and don't really care. All I know is I couldn't make a comment about Little House on the mofoing Prairie because I wasn't "approved" and I believe having to "audition" to comment is beyond asinine. Maybe the mechanics doesn't prove the agenda, but who gets approved and who doesn't most definitely DOES.

I could be completely wrong on this but the proported eyewitness account sounds like just so much BS. I have met and conversed with Mic Wilson our Executive Director. He is not going to put his neck out on the line and ask others to cover up and lie to squelch an email going viral. We (Kappa Sig) have a pretty good history of shutting down out of control chapters and expelling undesirables. I hope I am not wrong but I call Bulls**t on the Jezebel article. There is just too much that seems out of character in this.
