Gawker
Go Elis! Only not. In the past ten days, we've had larceny charges against an aspiring Galie and pseudo abortion, pseudo art project from senior Aliza Shvarts. It's enough to make Harvard appealing. But on a beautiful spring day like this, when faux controversies surround art and reproductive rights, we do sort of miss college. Where else could a debate over Shvarts's "art" not immediately conclude with, "she's a savvy media whore who is willing sell her name, body and college intuitions for publicity." It's nearly impossible to pick the most offensive aspect of this little project. That Shvartz maybe lied to create publicity, that maybe Yale lied to protect itself from a student, or what she actually claimed to do, which is to induce miscarriages to get people "to think." It's like we're caught between a world of The Hills and Abortion Art. Can't there be a happy medium, like Top Chef?

Yale is the Madonna of universities.
Just wait until they're all in the CIA.
So the pretentious tattling asshole is Scylla, and the performative miscarriages are Charybdis.
Oh, how to navigate the poetic terrain of popular culture?
Really bad week for the value of my degree.
Ahh well, it maintained during all of the Bush regime.
Can we PLEASE just close all the universities already?
