Not to seem malicious, but I have to agree with the above two commentors. I appreciate that you’re trying to do satire in your usual column pieces, but I’m not sure you entirely understand what satire is. When you try to use it, I more often find myself confused than amused. It isn’t funny.

Just try working on it! I’d study up on satire a bit more if you plan to continue doing it.

Well said MAT Student.

Any goof ball writer for The Towerlight should give serious consideration to what they write and put their name on.

Most reputable companies do pretty extensive research on new hires and finding articles which make broad and ignorant accusations, even if they are intended as a joke, will not go over well.

This is a far better column that anything you’ve put out so far.

You aren’t funny, you are not doing satire, and you are not sassy.

No one owes you “a little love”, especially when you insult them. If you put that kind of crap out, you’re going to be criticized for it. This may come as a shock to you, but just because you try to do something doesn’t mean you are any good at it, or are owed any accolades.

Continue to write seriously, because the world has enough self-important jerks.
