The comments are split between "wtf is this ****", "what happened to the pee?" and "dammit Big Ten Network should be on basic cable". In descending order of maturity.

 

[Angola!]

What the **** is that ****?

 

[MartinEnigmatica]

What DID happen to the pee?

 

[Starman]

"My son deserves to be in the paper, because he pees harder."

 

[farmerjerome]

Someone started a thread on the journalism board about employers giving their beat writers laptops so they could find stuff in the community.

Something tells me that this isn't what they would have in mind.


BTW, to Derek Wallbank:

You're hired!

The one at the bottom:

I hope all of the editors and regular writers are on vacation this weekend. Why should anyone care that a 6 year old had to potty with 2 minutes to go? Maybe if he was bleeding from the eyes or turning blue it would have shown his mother's loyalty to the Green and White, and thus might have been worth a 60 second read.

The comments are worth the read.

By tonight there'll be three calls from parents whose kids who had to go Number 2 for six minutes, so where's the attention and respect THEY deserve?

You're damn right!! It takes a lot more work to dump a log than it does to tinkle, so why aren't THOSE kids getting coverage!! Because THEY WORK SO HARD!!!

Except for the one kid who had the runs. It all came easily for him. Too easily, matter of fact.

That's right, he's one of those whippersnapper punk kids who pay no attention to the fundamentals, and always want to do everything in a big splashy way, run the "fast break" and the "hurry-up offense." IN MY DAY, we knew how to "crap the right way."

 

[ServeItUp]

My guess is the writer was told to find crap like this and get some people at the game in the paper. His superiors can't possibly be pissed off because, come hell or high water, he got some damned people in the paper.

Hopefully, they won't ask him to do this again, but the LSJ is a Gannett paper so I'm hoping against hope.

Oooooohhh boy. Zucchini. Like we care.

Couldn't Derek find anybody who really had to take a pee that day?? : : :

 

[slappy4428]

Dunno... pee, poop and Sparty all seem to go together...

 

[markvid]

That has to be an Onion-type story.
Please tell me it is.
