Writer Needed, Literacy Optional
I came across this ad on Craigslist today. I think this is proof that kids are just more stupid than they used to be. Yeah, I said it. College graduates today are a bunch of illiterate morons.
Here's a perfect example of "shoulda been held back in the eighth grade, or at least sent to summer school, to polish her basic writing and grammar skills, but god forbid we damage Johna's self-esteem, let's pass her and set her free to inflict communications like this into the world."
"We are a very professional indie production company (The Micles Prod TMP) We specialize in Short Films and incredible visualy Music Videos, all done in HI-Def and Hi-End Digital Tecnology or in Film.
We are majorly searching for interns from NYU or NYU Film Accademy, at the end of the work we provide proofs that in some cases are considerate credits in university exchanges.
We need very smart and very fast people non competitive, with some experience. The qualifications now
opening are for: SCREENWRITER.At the moment we are prep for a indie version of the "Hamlet" of Shakespeare, so if you know the subject it will be much better. The most important requirement is that you have to own a cell phone and we want that number, people without cell please don't apply, e-mail is secondary. Thanks contact Johna."

It's Kinda Like Dollywood for Smart People
"Dickens World, located in Chatham Maritime, Kent is a stunning NEW £62 million indoor themed attraction based on the life, books and times of Charles Dickens. The attraction is now entering an exciting phase as we move towards opening."
I want to go and see if they've got "Miss Havisham's House of Horrors."

Jesus Jumping Christ
Godalfuckingmighty.
I was waiting for the pro-gun and anti-gun lobbies to start weighing in, and sure enough, they started issuing statements a couple of hours after the murders in Virginia.
Without going into how the Pro-Crime lobby willfully misreads the 2nd Amendment, I want to go on record as agreeing with the General. General Wesley Clark, that is, who said, if you want to play with guns, there's a place for you and it's called the US Army. (I'd add Law enforcement to that).

More on Vonnegut
What a great essay
Kurt will be sorely missed. The pissed off patriots are starting to die off... Will Gore Vidal be next?
