Former Editor Can’t Believe Shit College Newspaper Is Printing
NEW YORK—Troy Bartell, 22, former editor-in-chief of Boston University’s student newspaper The Daily Free Press, said Monday that his once-prestigious paper is in “free-fall,” and is now printing only “ridiculous, brutally incompetent shit.”
“This is lousy, lousy journalism,” said Bartell, who still scours the paper’s online edition for typos despite graduating in May 2006. “The way they covered the School of Management’s Casino Night this year was a slap in the face. Complete and utter fluff. Don’t tell me what the people were wearing, damn it—tell me who won the raffle at the end of the night, and what the prizes were.”

Good thing that GW has always printed shit… I’m confident that the new editors will continue the legacy.

At the risk of having a flat full of flaming newspapers hurled through my livingroom window, I’d have to say that this year’s GW isn’t NEARLY as funny as last year or the year before. Alas.

(On the other hand, perhaps old age is simply withering my sense of humor one fart joke at a time. Could happen).

Or, it’s because I’m not writing for it anymore.
Yeah, that’s probably it: you miss the Frisbee.

Oh my WCG, those just *happened* to be the two years when I was writing. Missing the Frisbee AND the Muffin, I see.
