I bet certain individuals, like the one who wrote this article, will fail to see the sarcasm in the subject. Not only was this article an example of what a successful journalist (or one aspiring to be) not do, but it failed to humor me. If you are going to write crap at least make it funny crap? How hard is to make someone chuckle? Besides I think you should revisit the night school where you obtained your degree, I think you got gypped. But hey don’t worry at least you have your sense of humor to get you thorough this!
