Actually, I think this post shows a way forward for IvyGate. A blog that has always ridiculed its readers (Ivy students & grads) may now be showing its disdain for them by deliberately producing crappy, unsourced posts that read as if they were penned by an unimaginative Stephen Glass. I don’t see any explanation for this story other than a total indifference to the blog’s readership. The clear winner here is Bill Kristol, whose tenure at the Times seems to have provided the animating genius for the posts of these newer writers.

Does any one know what this year’s bonus will be in the banks?

This is the most useless post charading as news I’ve seen in a while.

If the audience of this block is Ivy League students and alumni, then we all obviously know investment bankers. Why is the anonymous opinion of some random douche newsworthy?

This is pathetic.

Everyone point and laugh at Penn 11! Make him feel bad for a committing an inconsequential mistake! That’s what internet forums are for, right?

Penn 11: At the time of 804000’s comment, it was spelled “morgage” in the article. His comment, then, was referencing the initial error and was not his own. Hence the sarcasm and quotation marks.

Now you look like a douche.

Actually, 804000, mortgage is spelled with a T. Which Ivy are you from, pray tell?

Wow! An interview with a REAL LIVE BANKER? I thought they didn’t exist any more. What a glorious day now that we have a 24 year-old’s thoughts on the future of the economy.

Pffffft.

There will always be a market for avaricious Ivy Leaguers who treat their degrees as little more than stepping stones to soulless pursuits of meaningless wealth. The Ivy League was founded upon the premise of letting a good education go to waste. I don’t think I’m the only traditionalist, here!

I hope Mr. MeBanker spelled “morgage” wrong on his own.

This is not news at all. What’s the purpose of this post?
