She has obviously slept through PR 101. Or...she was busy looking for a husband in the crowd and didn't pay attention.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

(OK, that's a little harsh, but you have to admit that piece was pretty awful.)

I love this! and....

I mean, we could get into a huge philosophical discussion now, and I suspect I'm in big trouble for yet another off topic thread derailment.

I. Just. Can't. Help. It.

Put me in the corner. Wait, I'll put myself in the corner and save you guys the trouble.

My husband thinks he's perfect. He is mistaken. Sorely.

This reminds me of the article my ex (he wasn't my boyfriend till a couple years after this) wrote for the school paper. He said that only losers and nerds ate on the right side of the cafeteria, and that swimmers, Zetas, and other people of high social standing ate on the left side. If you knew him and the antipathy he had for Greek life, you KNEW he was making fun of the whole concept, but if you didn't know him (which a lot of people didn't as he was a transfer student) you could have very easily found it offensive.

I'm guessing this is similar - that the girl who wrote it is of a "quirky" nature and everyone who knows her will find it hilarious that she wrote on such a subject. However, in these days of the Internet, it can go across the world in 2.5 seconds and come across really badly.

That little biographical detail was one of the reasons I hoped the whole persona was part of the satire.

Do you ever find yourself making things better than they really are on a literary or artistic level? I think I did that here at first.

If the writer really was who the byline and picture showed in real life, it was a sophomoric, run of the mill, and poorly thought out effort; however, if the writer actually made up this hapless Public Relations major, writing this sophomoric, run of the mill, poorly thought out effort, which would clearly result is bad public relations for herself and the sorority she was repping in her photo, it was slightly chortle-worthy.

ETA: Now I just feel bad. She's probably a sweetie, and I've insulted her jokey column on a message board. But really, wouldn't it have been much funnier if the whole thing were made up?

It was clearly satire, and had the potential to be funny, but I'm nowhere near as scandalized as some of y'all are.

It's a summer issue of a college magazine.
