Sensitivity Training at University of Virginia Law

I was cleaning out my closet the other day when I came across a student newspaper that I picked up at the University of Virginia Law School, back when I was entertaining thoughts of being a Lawyer. Most of the articles in this paper are just a bunch of pseudo-intellectual satires, but I do remember the following article (lower left) that actually stung when I was rejected from the university a week after visiting:

Dude! Be nice to the poor little guys (and gals) that get rejected! Maybe the good ol’ U of Vaggie needs to add a sensitivity training class to the curriculum!

Why do I READ the Ventura County Star... But not understand?

Is it just me or have the local newspapers really been slipping lately? I mean, I understand that they’re shifting their content over from any sort of international coverage to the most basic local news, but really, what happened to the editors? Case in point, a REAL ad that was in my hometown newspaper of the Ventura County Star this last week (click on it for a larger view):



Now, either you have to assume that the originators of the ad like to make fun of the mumble mouthed diction of deaf people and that the Ventura County Star Editors agreed with this un-PC joke, or the more likely scenario, that the editors missed some severe typos. In any case, all I can say is “unbdibleavible”!

Update: I was actually bored enough to call this company during my lunch-break and they affirmed that the format of this ad was absolutely NOT intentional.

The Human Giblet has no purpose.
The Giblet is its purpose.
Oh yes.
The Giblet is its purpose.
