Stupid newspaper

I just walked into my dining room right now and my mom was reading the paper and was like, "Oh, did you see? 'UF girl wins pageant.' " I was like, "Yeah, did you see what kind of pageant?" And she read further, "Oh, it's a Playmate thing. She's a sorority girl?" The stupid blurb said, "The ads for the behind-the scenes footage on cyber.playboy.com of 'Search for a Playboy centerfold' say the 12 contestants met. They bonded. Then they got wild. Comparing bikini lines, getting wet in the hot tub, grappling and groping like curious, lustful sorority girls." Then it went on about the actual girl, but there was no mention of her actually being in a sorority. Ok, just checked the Greek directory for UF, no mention of her, so she's probably not in a sorority. So was there even a need for that tasteless comment? I do not need the people who pay for my dues reading dumb stuff like that. It's easily misconstrued!

The other week I also had to tear out of Ann Landers an article about Greek drinking. AHHHH!

All you future journalists out there like myself, I have hope for a better tomorrow. Til then, The Miami Herald is a dangerous thing for my parents to be reading...

ps: I know they know about the media's depiction of Greeks, but still...it's not cool for useless comments like that to be associated with their only child while they have breakfast!
