The Peak - Wow.
Finally, an article so bad has appeared that I'm flabbergasted:
http://the-peak.ca/article/17424-public-enemy-the-threads-make
If we even ignored the attempt at "ghetto speak", it still leaves horrible English (newsflash: Apostrophes indicate possessive, not plural), and that's without mentioning the ridiculous content.
I'm ashamed that:

I'm ashamed that:
- This was actually published in the newspaper representing students of an instution of higher learning,
- That happens to be the institution I go to, and thus, I'm linked to it by association,
- Other contributors to this paper (including some on this board) now have to be grouped with this kind of crap.

That said, many people were pissed off by her latest column, and you'll be reading two particular criticisms of it, in this Monday's Peak.
You don't need JJ McCullough brand of offensive content to make a paper interesting...but some of the stuff in here is really boringy or unnecessar. "Do the hustle: the secret to successful ineterismo" was a complete waste of two pages.
The Gung Haggis Fat Choy wasn't really necessary as well, since the even was already over.
I think the media section of the paper is way too long, talking about movies and tv as well.
I remember that issue a while back where they did some retro version of the paper and pretended to be in a different era or something, it was the quickest I ever skimmed and threw a peak in the trash.
That said, The Peak hasn't been good in a long while now.
Anyways, I've read that article in that paper (whose name I won't mention here, simply because I've always referred to it as "that detestable rag") and I've come to a few conclusions: you can be offended by somebody's incorrect use of language, you can correct a person for speaking or spelling improperly (you might end up looking like an asshole, but I do it anyway :shade:), but you can't knock somebody for speaking or writing the way he/she does. Maybe in a hundred years people won't look upon that article with such contempt, because by that time language would have evolved and the improper usage would have become standard :teeth:
and the only "ho" i know used in such context ends with an e.. :confused:
Although they exported their labour to china which sucks, theyre still high quality and material.
and i'm not calling you a hoe for wearing it (in case there's been some misinterpretation) just pointing out her usage of ho vs hoe was unflattering..
I think the quality of lululemon has gone down since they started manafacturing in china, they used to have really intricate designs and you can tell a lot of it is mass manafactured now, its a shame. It still beats a lot of other places though :confused:
