    I won't be convinced that Time is at all serious about their brand of stupid unless they name Glenn Beck Man of the Year. Even "The Angry American" won't cut it. #media

    Have you watched the CNN online newscast? It's two college kids doing the news from the bridge of the Enterprise but with most of the props missing. #media

    @Magister: I know what you mean. I love Blitzer's idiotic tags to stories. For example, if Earth were blown up by the Martians, Blitzer would say on the outro, "The Earth has been blown up. Certainly a tragedy, and we will be following this." Jack Cafferty always looks at him as if he's a fly in Cafferty's soup. #media

    @TheBusinessGuy:
    What gets me is when he's "interviewing" a reporter or analyst to provide background and asks questions which he should be able to answer, if he's half as smart as his audience, but some producer's obviously telling him there's an interesting factoid somebody, somewhere may not have heard.

    The anchors on cnn.com were much the same way, except unlike Blitzer, I never expected them to know.

    @Magister: After watching Blitzer for five minutes, you really don't expect him to know much of anything. Actually, the only CNN headliners with real heft are Amanpour and Zakaria--especially Zakaria, whose Sunday show always feel like the ideal seminar at the Kennedy School. #media

    "There is nothing worse than the awkward wake up next to a girl, who is not as hot as you thought she was when you were 12 deep the night before." Just imagine how she feels waking up to your mug, Chris! Why is it that ugly guys feel entitled to bang hot chicks even though his face looks like an asshole?

    Maybe instead of charging the paper with harassment, Fairfield University could close The Mirror down for failing completely at its mission statement. I get that newspapers are a dying medium, but editors are still supposed to edit and journalists are still supposed to have some basic understanding of grammar, punctuation, syntax, and how to craft a narrative.

    On the other hand, that article definitely makes a fierce case for abstinence, so maybe the Society of Jesus is having the last laugh here. #media

    Is it just me or does anyone else find more than vestigial traces of irony in that our focal point's surname sounds
    suspiciously like some third-rate feminine hygiene product?

    Wait a second, given that he arguably qualifies as a third-rate douche, cancel that last query.

    Peripherally, it should be noted in an attempt to appear more worldly that Mr. Surette "went metric" quite some time ago, so that reference to being "12-deep" is centimeters, or in the alternative, his IQ.

    I think he is providing a valuable service for cretins in a language they can understand. Unfortunately, there is a significant percentage of cuties who are willing to raw dog it and they need to know the 411 on preventing a rash or perhaps a mini-me. He possesses a unique and spirited voice that informs us of the hazards of rationalizing things when in a state of 12-deeptitude.

    Additionally I feel that somewhere at some point we've all had a hearty laugh and said to ourselves, "I just don't care whether or not I'm capable of sexually pleasing a woman."

    I'd argue that this guy was not going to get laid anyways.
    I mean, Jesus. Look at him. What sexual experience could he possibly have had that didn't involve a sock and his own pasty, clammy hand? #media

    The "He Said / She Said" columns used to be the funniest part of The Mirror... too bad this moron had to go fuck it up. In reality, the columns have been overrun with idiots like Chris for a few years now. If I were President von Arx, I'd kick him out. #media

    Fairfield seemed to collect Jesuits with crazy names... and @Fitz21and1, I worked there too. '03, it was fantastic. Great writers, great editors, great staff. By '07, when I graduated, the writing started to slide, and I think it's currently in a kind of textual nadir. #media
