The End of an Era- **** the Daily

The End of an Era- **** the Daily
The B&W is for Emo effects that reflect our sadness

I’m sure you’ve all read by now that Johnny Quest has made his final post. As mentioned in his post, the investigational report appeared in today’s Michigan Daily. Call me old fashioned, but I was under the impression that an investigatory report just might touch on the several month investigation that took place. Astoundingly, the editor-in-chief Karl Stampfl “discovered” that Paul was the blogger, and that’s all of what was mentioned. Looks like someone didn’t want to admit it took him 4 months to find a guy sitting in his own office. Tough luck dumbass, we noticed.

 

So let’s take a look at the situation here and you’ll see why I hate the daily. You have Johnny Quest writing for OTR, the Daily would like to track who he is, just for the story. They manage to find him after a long investigation (one which your average angry-at-JQ Greek would definitely NOT have taken the time to do). So they find out that, wow, it’s been our film editor all this time (who FYI is just as good at writing in the Daily as he was here). Instead of keeping their mouth shut, they went down the bitch highway and ratted out one of their own. And they did this so that just one more article could get published, an article that frankly added absolutely no information of importance to anyone who knew who Johnny Quest was beforehand.

 

People would only associate Johnny Quest with the daily if people knew he worked for the Daily. Only the Daily knew that Paul worked for them, but still chose to tell people, forcing him to resign from OTR. Paul claimed he wasn't anti-Greek, he was anti-douche. Well, if the Daily had a douche factor, it would be up there with SAE.

I’d classify the Michigan Daily operators as an unlovable Dwight Schrutes. They are power-hungry and clearly sucking at the Greek system power teat. How else can you explain their choice to reveal our beloved Johnny Quest? So for any of you thinking about writing for the Daily, don’t. Come to OTR and write what you want. The Daily eats babies.

who cares.
Johnny Quest was egomaniacal. he was the only poster that insisted on talking about himself all the time. I, I, I, I, bla bla bla.
he didn't care about reporting news, making fun of news, reporting gossip, etc., he cared about drawing attention to himself, or at least his alter-ego. now he has done the same as himself.
no one cares. it's not earth-shattering. why be all melodramatic and post a picture of himself. wtf?
peace out, Johnny Quest.

uhhh where the hell have you been? all johnny quest ever wrote about was greek life and other school gossip. maybe he threw in some personal anecdotes, but doesn't that make a blog all the more personal and interesting? as for melodrama, you're the one making a big deal out of nothing. the daily is clearly in the wrong on this one, and all for an article that wasn't all that important. why did he post a picture of himself? because the daily was going to reveal him anyway.

i suggest you read johnny's farewell and the daily's article before you go posting ignorant comments.

Umm, yes it is. Are you even serious? haha Look it up, moron.
I did read both. If he didn't want the attention or he was concerned with angry people he wrote about trying to track him down as he mentions, then why post a picture? Because he's an attention whore. Why am I even writing about this? Who cares!

p.s. dipshit isn't a word

I said I was done, but I lied because I just want to clarify it's Miss Douche, not Mr.
I don't even go to the Univesity of Michigan, so I'm done replying to this idiocy. Don't know why JQ's melodrama annoyed me so.
Peace.

Miss Douche, that name cracks me up.
You = pot, me = kettle.
Yes, kettle is a word.

Do you actually read the Daily? Biggest group of Greek-bashers on campus. (Not meaning to include JQ in that group-- his Greek stuff here made me chuckle, unlike the hippies in the Daily op-ed section.)
