Cartoons Can Be Car-fusing

3:41 pm — 

What an editorial cartoon that was published today, huh? It balanced edge and insight to provide a cutting and clever jab at campus culture.  “Yes,” You heartily agree, “because of your biting critique of sororities’ use of cultish uniformity!” And to this I say…not so much.

Yes, to make fun of a sorority is like, say… making fun of a fraternity; it’s much too easy.  The comic today was meant to be a critique of our young college society as a whole.  Too often people find it convienient and fulfilling to mock establishments like Greek Houses, when what is being critiqued is just as prevelant outside the system.  Sure plenty of sorority members look like the frumpy, shoeless aliens in the comic, but I know plenty of “independents” that do as well.  Guys are probably even worse at looking like clones, but those crazy sunglasses are a lot more fun to draw than ill-fitting jeans.  All in all, I think society needs to not feel a desire to fit into a mold, and also a drastic change in fashion sense…Oh, bt DUBS, did you see the new spring line from North Face?

North Face

Oooo, I like the boots….and it seems thong sandals are in, LOOKING GOOD!

This man can have you murdered and make it look like an accident.

Last night at the White House Correspondents dinner, Karl “Bush’s Brain” Rove joined “Whose Line is it Anyway?” stars Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood on stage for an impromptu rap. That’s NBC reporter David Gregory dancing backup.

I can only imagine what laughs John McCain or Rudy Giuliani would provide us with if either became president.
