SCOPE PUBLISHES ARTICLE ON HOW TO LOSE RESPECT OF OTHERS

THE SCOPE - News has come in that an Asian senior writer at the Scope has decided to publish an article on how to insult a human being. We find this a strange twist on what used to be a friendly, excellent newspaper. The Asian writer, self described as a "nerdy kid," has created the article supposedly because, "If you don't earn your reputation soon, in highschool you will get eaten." Subscribers to the Scope, however, were disgusted with the utter cruelty involved, and how it suggests to treat your fellow man with disdain. An interview with an avid reader revealed that groups of readers were reporting the article to authorities.

Editor's Note- We at the Smudge would normally be outraged at this attack on the 1st Amendment, but we'd give up our free speech to see this article cease to exist. We hope the Scope picks up its usual editorials and columns, and quickly fires this Asian, who has not apologized as of late for his actions, but attacked his opposition: "If anyone should be reported, it should be you. Everyone, notice the time lapse of 0 min. of the comments. It's the same person, who thinks he/she's so clever. I'll be sure to report you to the MA Department of Sexual Offenders if you think a little kid is 'horny.'" We here at the Smudge are sorry this article was not journalistic, but we cannot attempt professionalism at this time, especially when there are Asian writers who have yet to apologize for their actions.
