That is true though. I don't know how many new students/PNMs read the paper before they even get on campus (or even when they get on it), so I do have to kind of be glad that if this had to run, it ran now. Its got a month to blow over before recruitment starts.
And I really hope it does. Blow over, I mean.

I think any discussion if it by then will seem like beating a dead horse, but I hope she was prepared for 108 comments, 314 tweets and a bunch of facebook and internet links. Maybe she'll make a name for herself as a humorous columnist, and we can say that we remember reading one of her early efforts.

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

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.

Agreed. See, of course, A Modest Proposal, and all the people who didn't get it.
What makes this a failure is more the fact that it is neither original nor insightful.

Did you know this was a recommended story on Business Insider website? Someone sent me a link to pop v soda map and this chick was at the bottom. I don't know if the rule about any publicity is good publicity applies here.

Just realized that chick is not very respectful way to describe someone, so sorry before I get flamed.

Quite true, but these chicks will get over it. If women can tolerate being called guys, they can certainly be a chick. Adorable creatures they are.
(There is the edit feature if you want to click the chick.)
