Letter to the Editor

Anonymous said...

I like how AD was the frat that held the forum but Phi Delt is the subject of the article. It seems the Dunyun has tarnished its previously sterling reputation as an unbiased source of news. I'm guessing 80% of the Dunyun writers are AD's anyways.

Dear Halfwit:

As someone who constitutes a whopping 25% of the Dunyun staff (note: a '13 makes up another 25% and AD only lets canines and Gusanoz employees participate in dirty rush), I feel the need to respond. Perhaps you thought "Frannie" was short for "Frank" or "Franklin" or "fratfratfratmanfratty" but surprise! I'm actually a woman, and since unfortunately the primary requirements for membership in AD are still a penis and ballsack, I just can't seem to manage to get in no matter how many times I shake out (which I do about as often as your comment is insightful). Yep, still rockin' that second mouth, as I hear you guys in Phi Delt like to call it (or is it "front butthole" and AD? Good thing this isn't real journalism or I might have to double-check).

This brings me to another point which I've been looking for a soapbox to stand on and shout about for awhile now--I'm fully convinced that at least five percent of people on this campus cannot read. Secret illiterate people. They just get by on copy and pasting. You may have noticed one of these people before, someone who clearly just scanned the blitz you sent and then repackaged words chosen at random in new sentences that simply had nothing to do with what you said, like, "You wrote: hey do you want to go to the river after your 2A? End of quote/ i'm hungry let's get lunch after my 2A did you hear about the coke scandal??????" Yes, I did hear about that, because I can read, and you can't.

It occurs to me to point out just how blatantly you didn't or couldn't read the article, starting with the most obvious fact that the whole point of it was that the frats and controversial issues therein were all interchangeable, but "interchangeable" has a lot of letters in it and clearly you only listen to Bored at Baker anyway, so I won't waste any more of my precious finger energy on a response. Please go back to calling the police on your friends for ripping off mattress tags or whatever the hell you were doing before you decided to be publicly useless.

Yours till the rain bows,
Ms. Frannie Mays

p.s. AD shits and pisses all over themselves enough already. No need to add insult to ringworm.

  1. So then, 50% is the correct figure.

    Harry Dawg and Vic Delta are my two best friends.

    I don't know if there are any other AD's without ballsacks that you've insulted by this comment, besides Mandel, but if there are, you can bet there's going to be a forum about this.

  6. lets be honest. you went a little overboard. lets keep the dunyun funny. not some place to vent you're anger everytime someone says something stupid.

  7. glad we cleared up the fact that you're a girl but maybe you shouldn't write articles when you are PMSing.

  10. I love the Dunyun. Been consistently reading the articles since the sites inception. I have to say though, this is the worst entry the site has ever had. The site is about satire...Breaking the fourth wall and literally pointing out why something is funny (it's because the frats are interchangeable, get it?!) is a huge No-No. TM, please consider demoting "Frannie Mays" to JV. At least until she learns how to do this without the training wheels. Actually, being funny or witty isn't necesarrily something you can learn. You either have the chops or you don't and she doesn't. So with that said, maybe it's time to admit your mistake in hiring her and put this puppy to sleep. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time but sometimes nepotism can make you put the blinders on.

  11. wait, how did "goosfraba goosfraba" get into Dartmouth anyway?
    vent "you're" anger? really?
    must be one of the aforementioned non-readers.

  12. So, loyal reader, is your primary criticism that I "broke the fourth wall"? Sorry, you must be a theater major. Didn't mean to delegitimize the Stanislavsky technique.

    It's a letter to the editor. Open up your nearest Seventeen magazine or Tiger Beat and maybe you'll figure out how those work (hint: direct correspondence is involved).

    And what's JV Dunyun? Will I still get to shower with the other players in the locker room?
