I thought that this one was funny. The joke is that at that age, the significance of everything is blown way out of proportion.


In addition to the Point/Counterpoint articles, I like the advice columns as well. Someone earlier posted the Ask An Elderly Black Woman As Depicted By A Sophomore Creative Writing Major, and some of the more bizarre have included Ask The Voice-Over From The Dukes Of Hazzard, Ask A Frat Brother Who Just Accidentally Drowned A Pledge During A Hazing Gone Horribly Awry, Ask A College Professor Having Trouble With The Audiovisual Equipment, and Ask A Man Who's Jowl-Deep In Phyllis Diller's Pussy.


I also like the latest infographic: Dr. Seuss' Lesser-Known Titles.

I see it more as trolling new parents who might freak out about screwing their kid up for life by doing something wrong.

My favorite all-time article is "NFL Star Thanks Jesus After Successful Double Homicide"

quote:

"First off, I'd like to say 'great job' to Isaac and Pamela, who put up a heck of a fight and have nothing to be ashamed of," Banks said. "They were terrific opponents, and it's too bad somebody had to lose a life. But the Lord Jesus Christ was truly with me Saturday night. He guided my hand when I was able to make that big hit on Isaac, and I really felt His presence when I stepped up and made that great slashing cut to bring Pamela down from behind."
