1/03/2003 02:57:00 PM | Timothy baby talk I have been saying this discussion is ridiculous about whether it is wrong for British Channel 4 to broadcast an artist eating the flesh of a stillborn baby and that it reminds me of parliamentary debate. You know, it's not the structure of the debate and the outlandish topics. It's that someone at Dartmouth once actually ran a case in a real debate round that went like this: you have a choice of killing either a baby or an old man, which do you do? We all thought it was ridiculous, and if Paul, Josh, Will or any of the debaters saw us debating whether it was OK to munch on rotting baby meat, they would laugh their heads off. UPDATE: The Dartmouth Review now has a separate weblog called the Inner Office, which is devoted to non-Dartmouth matters. Andrew Grossman had this to say about our recent ridiculous back and forth on baby talk: Devolution Free Dartmouth, the Free Press's weblog, has already floated to the shallow end of the pool with recent back-and-forth jousting over eating dead babies (really), which segued into abortion, which segued into Jonathan Eisenman proving to anyone unsure that he's a defensive and self-obsessed twerp (30+ references to himself in a two paragraph post). What's with the name, anyway? "Free Dartmouth"? Free Dartmouth from what? Hetero-patriarchal oppression or something? It just doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I'm surprised it took this long -- almost a few weeks! -- for Free Dartmouth to get that bad. Keep it up, boys. perma link |
