ROTC Surveys: 2003 and Today

Oh you kids today, with your New Facebook and AOL Instant Messager and such. The New York Times talked to a bunch of you who prefer going online to reading books that your parents bought for you. It seems that the standardized test scores of Kids Today have declined and plateaued, causing many older people to blame the Internet. But some others are saying that the Internet has created a "new kind of reading", claiming that even reading New Facebook is better than watching TV because at least there are words involved.

We hear from a bunch of online readers like anime enthusiast Nadia, who counts among her favorite literature some nonsense entitled "My absolutely, perfect normal life ... ARE YOU CRAZY? NOT!" Bwog found this thing online and we can see why all the adults are so worried. To quote from Chapter 30: "I drop my hotdog! It just flew towards the end... uwahhhh!! Damn plane! Wait... is that? MY HOTDOG!? I MUST REACH OUT TO IT!! WAIT..."



aynOutside Hamilton, at about 8:59 PM last night:

Guy 1: "Ayn Rand, you really need sex, but not with me!"
Guy 2: "Help! Help! I'm being raped by Ayn Rand!"

What's terrible is that the hero of The Fountainhead actually does rape his love interest. Bwog shudders.

Thanks to Bwog tipster Jason Patinkin for overhearing.
