[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really?  I thought it was insightful.  What about it made you think it was satire?  This is an honest question. [/quote]

It's satirical because in one breath she says not to stereotype then she goes on to stereotype.

Replace "rich lacrosse player" with the words "black football players" and re-read the article. it's insanely satrical.

(“Landon boys” change to...) Black football players are a big topic of conversation in Julia’s world. They’re said to be really bad news

You never drink from a cup offered by a (Landon boy change to...) Black football player, say these girls, who don’t necessarily know any (Landon boys change to...) black football players

“It isn’t fair to prejudge a whole group of guys because of the bad behavior of a few,” is the kind of thing I say to her and her friends, and I try to actually believe it. For it’s true we shouldn’t prejudge people like (Landon lacrosse players replace with) black football players,

Despite all that, I stick by my “don’t judge (frat boys and jocks change to...) black football players by their labels” stance. But it’s not out of some abstract desire to do the right thing; it’s a gut level urge to protect my daughters from ending up like singer Rihanna,

Does she still sound like a legit reporter - really? It's a little Onion meets Ann Coulter for me. But we are talking about it so I guess she has done her job well.

Do you know how many guys in DC were convicted of 2nd degree murder last year - how many of them were LAX players?

Also, mentioning that somebody was accused or rape who was actually innocent of rape is just irresponsible reporting. (BTW the lying accusor went on to stab her boyfriend to death and I am guessing she was not a LAX player either.)[/quote]
