For shame Notre Dame, for shame. The viewpoint section has been painfully monotonous this year; it is a disgrace to the reputable name of editorial columns everywhere. Where is the indignation? You didn't get accepted into this university because you were an apathetic, open-minded urchin. No, you are here because you can banter with the best. I implore you, write into The Observer and express that ire. Is it too much to ask for a little brimstone and fire with my grande french vanilla latte? Release some of that repressed sexual frustration and show me passion, baby!
Topic Suggestions:
1. The Spoon Scandal: "two forks and a knife" barely touched on the possibly apocalyptic implications of this predicament. I've had to eat my yogurt with a fork on multiple occasions. Not OK.
2. Lauren Greenfield's "THIN" exhibit: a truly inspiring piece of work that may even teach some struggling wannarexics how to drop those last few pounds and dive into a debilitating and life-threatening disorder.
3. Swine Flu: Why don't we just let it run its course? Natural selection, I say. The strongest will survive.
4. Matisyahu: a Hasidic Jewish rapper on a Catholic campus? What if he tried to brainwash us in the same way our President did when he spoke at commencement? Mmm, won't you pass me a glass of that embryonic Kool-Aid?
5. Sluttle: the clamor of Saint Marys' girls, lost in the irony of self-efficacy, has demoted the original Urban Dictionary definition. Ugly and fat females of Notre Dame, it's time to stand up for yourselves!
6. @ndsmcnews: empty promises about unpublished stories? Talk about failure to perform.
7. Pep Rallies: Sorin, your boycotts were a fail.
8. Charlie Weis' internship: did anyone see him at the career fair?
It's your turn. Open your laptop and submit something inflammatory! Homogeneity? Not fine by me.
