The kid is a genius... He is now 1,000,000 times better known than any of the other journalism students who will be looking for a job upon graduation... He'll scream about the first amendment and ride that all the way to his first job...

Not a bad plan for a kid who goes to a third-rate journalism school...

He may get a good first job, a la Krystal Grow, but what about a second job? Third job? Fourth job?

People remember stunts like this.

Third-rate? You're being much too kind.

It's all about getting that first job. Then you have to prove yourself... I wouldn't hire him, but somebody will...

Krystal Grow got a good first job? Where? I'm honestly curious.
And there's no way in hell this douchenozzle will be able to use this in a positive way to further his career.

Wow, I misfired on that one.

"I'm the kid who wrote '****' in an editorial."

Maybe he and the Florida dweeb who got tased can form a consulting firm.

And can someone tell me why the tasing incident has been used in context with Republicans several times that I've seen ... when it happened with John Kerry as the guest speaker?

"I'm the kid who wrote '****' in an editorial."
Which, as we know, takes a lot of intellect and deep thought.

I'm guessing he'll word that a little differently in his cover letter... ;D

The marketplace will solve this.

The school paper has lost something like $30K in advertising, while the editor will no doubt find himself the object of a bidding war between Vanity Fair and Huffingtonpost.com.

And Rolling Stone.

That, too.
 
Miss Teen South carolina now has a measure of fame, doing the MTV and talk show circuit.

Taser boy is well-known, as is Mr. Leave Britney Alone.

This dork (and I agree that those who use their first initial in their byline are self-important to the nth degree) will get some opportunity somewhere due to this.
 
I wake up every day wondering if the world is going to get smarter.

Guess not.
 
See, this is what happens when you to go to a pig farming school. Always like to take a shot at the Rams when possible.

Doesn't take much to get famous in this country. Just be stupid beyond belief.

The editor of CSU's Rocky Mountain Collegian newspaper said he's prepared to fight for his job this week in the face of criticism for an editorial published Friday that featured a prominent profanity.

J. David McSwain, a Colorado State University junior, said he has no plans to step aside.

"I think that'd be an insult to the staff who supported the editorial," McSwane said Sunday.

They should all be terminated too. College is where you learn what would happen in the real world.

That's what would happen in the real world.

Oh, by the way -- **** Bush. ;) ;D

Third-rate? You're being much too kind.

As a grad of this apparently less than third-rate journalism school who is doing OK for himself in the business and knows of a few others who are too, I take mild offense to that.

That said, this was a guy who took this controversy into his own hands and knew exactly the result it would get. Using the word **** in huge type isn't going to go unnoticed. One of the early accounts I read said the editorial board was split. If that's the case, this editor decided he didn't care what anyone else thought. Two editor in chiefs from the paper during my stint there are at major metros and probably are on the same page politically as this statement. But I don't think there is a chance in hell they would have let that run.

Everyone at a college paper takes liberties and can get away with stuff they never would be able to in the real world. That is the great thing about a college paper. But this definitely crossed the line. To say it was to stick up for First Amendment rights, when I don't think they were being challenged, especially at this paper, is a pretty lame excuse.
 
The one thing all of you are forgetting is this:

http://www.collegehumor.com/picture:1774014

someone posted this on here a couple weeks back. It's from the same newspaper, the CSU student paper. What the hell is going on there? The combination of the two are good enough for me to fire the guy. No one's using their head there.
 
Seriously, this guy thinks the school paper is a toy.

Well, **** him. He's ruining it for the real journalists who wish to move on with their careers, not go be a rabble rouser.

What an asshat. I hope CSU journalism alumni threaten to withhold all their donations and lobby the administration to withdraw funding until this idiot is fired.

Edit: It's late and I'm an idiot.
