Pretty White Girls, Our Most Important Resource
I didn’t really want my blog to have stuff like this, but I can’t help it…
As submitted for posting (they never post my comments) on the “Sound Off” portion of CNN’s coverage of the USC students killed in a beach house fire over the weekend http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/30/beach.fire/index.html
“Once again we are reminded, as we were in June when those girls crashed their SUV in NY while text-mesaging on the way to beach week, pretty white girls are our nation’s most important resource (especially rich, pretty white girls). Whenever pretty white girls die, and especially in instances like these when frat boys also die, they deserve to be CNNs top story and then linger, Natalee Holloway-style in the top stories for weeks (at least until it’s determined that they didn’t hear the smoke alarm because they were passed out from drinking too much…). To all you who say this isn’t newsworthy, I say nevermind the soldiers in Iraq, they know their job is to protect pretty white girls and their frat-boy boyfriends and all the other sons and daughters of privilege. Nevermind any of that stuff. If we all get together on this, I bet we can get the president to order the lowering of the flag to half-mast.”
