What the Fuck Happened to Decency Standards at Ivy League Dailies?
I like cursing in print - or in blog form - as much as the next guy. But as for the shitass Ivy League Dailies who look to the Grey Lady for guidance and inspiration, why on Earth do they like cursing so much? And more importantly, to what effect?
To no effect, friends. A brief search-and-survey of the dailies reveals language that your parents might find, well, a bit uncomfortable. The dailies print "fuck" and "shit" for no good or extenuating reason, sometimes in the form of short pornographic stories. Most of the time they use these words without even the saving grace of direct quotation. Read these brief excerpts and you'll be soon asking yourself what the fuck has happened to our storied dailies.
Our friend Anthony Kelley at The Spec:
"Some folks were ready to fuck him up."
From The Cornell Daily Sun:
"I've evolved to fuck, shit, and eat, but it's odd that
while I'm doing these basic things I have the ability
to think."
The Daily Pennsylvanian (taking the cursing cake!):
You want to fuck the shit out of a group of high
schoolers touring the campus.
From The Yale Daily News:
"Why won't straight black guys leave me the fuck alone?"
After the jump: More newspapers, more cursing. Fuck yeah!
