Laurie in Chile reporting on yesterday's demos.

While today we young people may be blown like zephyrs on the howling winter winds of impenitent patriarchy, our anvil eyed gaze is fixed e’er forward, when we shall ride the shimmering breezes of spring’s dancing tomorrows.

Paid by the word.

Laurie in Chile reporting on yesterday's demos.

It's like she's auditioning to be quoted in a new version of 'Politics and the English Language'. Leave no metaphor unmixed!

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

shut up! even she couldn't write that with a straight face

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

It's like a 1960's Thor comic

 

[DaveCinzano]

It'th a thor thubject with Penny.

 

[rekil]

Full article later. It's a Workers Girder exclusive.

[Ibn Khaldoun]

In the investigative spirit, I decided to reply to some of these “sugar daddies.” Using a dummy email address and the handle gigglesandsparkles86, I pretended to be a hard-up student, and painted a broad-brushstroke picture of a naive, bookish, ingenue, the sort of girl who likes kittens and bubbles and walks in the rain — and exists mostly in the imaginations of lonely men on the Internet or Zooey Deschanel sitcoms. I kept the details brief — “Amy” was 25, like me, a literature student finding it hard to make ends meet, and interested in more details about the arrangement. I had her respond to every ‘”sugar daddy” ad on Craigslist New York and Craigslist London on three separate days. When necessary, I sent a picture loaned by one of my prettiest and furthest-away friends, explicitly asking her for a shot in which all trace of human complexity would be hidden behind hair and sunglasses. It took approximately three minutes for the emails to start flooding in.

Sure it was. Less than investigative IMO . . . Anyway, bit odd.

Laurie finally filed her sensational Workers' Girder exclusive "Chile? You've probably never heard of it."

• Inch deep analysis
• Fuck awful mixed metaphors
• Imaginary characters
• Lies
• Blatant product placement to help pay the bills
• And more!

I pretended to be a hard-up student

Isn't this what she does all the time anyway?

So while pretending to be a hard up student she went undercover and pretended to be a hard up student

that nearly made my brain implode

It's like a Paul Auster novel, I bet later on in her investigations she met a young woman called Laurie who was imprisioned in a room by a sugar daddy publisher who forced her to write reams of appalling self interested crap journalism as she slowly wasted away into a pillar of silver.

Or something.

That must be the worst sentence ever written by anyone, ever. There should be a criminal offence for this.
