re: LSU Reveille Writer slams NOLA Mardi Gras

What in the world in that article pertains to social justice?

The very fact that cptautism immediately called me a SJW proves my point.

public nudity is illegal. While many women do not get in trouble for it during Mardi Gras, men do

As ugly as a mud fence

Everyone realizes that these are not her actual beliefs and she is just writing this garbage for clicks, right? And by visiting the site and becoming indignant you are doing exactly what she and the Reveille want.

It’s like responding seriously to an el gaucho or LucasP post.

No, it's not. This isn't the same as putting Lou Holtz on television and him predicting Ole Miss will beat LSU in Tiger Stadium.

NO one knows this young lady and has nothing to go by. This article is not intriguing, either. If she had written an article about "why women make better lovers than men", she would have something. This? This is as trite as writing about how bad airlines and airport experiences stink or about "Don't go Trick-or-Treating without knowing your surroundings."

She'll get one more read for free. You are right about the next issue and that only...for now. If she writes about Valentines Day and its suckage, then pull the plug; otherwise, she better come up with something damn clever. I am not going to go out of my way to see what she writes, probably like most of us. This occasion did get her a LITTLE fame; however, the writing was subpar and trite.

THIS person knows what the frick they are talking about.

This cost includes paying overtime for police, sanitation and other city officials to keep the festivities running as smoothly, safely and cleanly as possible.

And how is that a bad thing?

quote:

---

To keep the city clean, there are more than 600 city employees working day and night to clean up after every parade. Their goal is to make it look like nothing happened by the next day, just so people can do it all over again.

The city is deadlocked every evening,

Thanks to the NOPD and LSP

. If you are hellbent on experiencing Mardi Gras, consider going to another city that also celebrates it. Mobile, Alabama is the birthplace of Mardi Gras and throws some awesome parades, as well. Still not convinced that New Orleans Mardi Gras is a bad idea? Fine. Have fun wading through trash with the rest of the drunken city.

dumb bitch

She's a college kid, you can't take college kids seriously.


Remember how dumb we were at that age?

Agreed to an extent, yellowfin. BUT college's best writers can still outwrite 95 percent of us. I would like to think the Reveille, itself, is still a very competitive college newspaper...but, the ones who write the editorials should be uncanny and merciless and bait-hooking with a subject -- good or bad. And the 3 or 4 of them who get a chance to do an opinionated column instead of being some beat writer need to prove it early. Come correct or don't come at all. A hate piece on Mardi Gras is the same as a hate piece on McDonalds' service from their employees.
