High school journalism at its finest

I just happened to StumbleUpon this and found it pretty funny. It reminded me a lot about my days on my high school paper -- but more importantly, the errors and content are just hysterical. I know my high school stuff was nothing to get excited over, but at least I never defeated a point I was trying to make with how poorly I wrote.

Incredible. I mean, I'm not sure those are actually a teacher's remarks about how horrid Stauss's reporting is. Maybe some of them are, but the "O RLY?" and the F+ seem to have been added later--and no teacher would ever use "O RLY?" even though it has a generally accepted meaning among hardcore Internet users.

Pretty funny, though...and I can totally believe that someone wrote this. I really hope that during your days at your paper, you didn't have to deal with idiots like this too much, because I could see you wanting to tear your hair out over it.

There used to be something very similar online regarding an assignment in class--some guy from, I think, England purposely botched an entire chemistry final exam for humorous (excuse me, "humourous") purposes. I don't think the link works anymore, though, but let me provide it anyway: Tim's Chemistry Exam

Just a diversion.
