http://www.statenews.com A heavy flow of break-ins and thefts from feminine-hygiene dispensers across campus led MSU Police to launch an investigation. A total of six break-ins and thefts were reported to MSU Police between June 1-12, amounting to at least $7.50 in stolen change, MSU police Sgt. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 19:37:23 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/40909 Maybe, just maybe, if those girls were giving away chocolate to improve my self-esteem, I wouldn’t have resorted to stealing tampons.

OH WAIT, this is the front page of The State News? This is supposed to be a legitimate article? I am so sick of stupid stories, 7th grade reporting, and overall embarrassing coverage. The State News is a ridiculous excuse of a college newspaper.

Some of these articles help get people in trouble too, just to let you know.

This is not new, over the past few years I have watched the SN decline into a pit of terrible journalism. Granted my first introduction to the SN it was nothing to hold in high regard. It is now time for an intervention I believe. The MSU School of Journalism, communication studies, and others who depend on news-making and reporting shouldn’t stand for this waste of paper, print, and mental capacity. Is this the best news MSU students have to report? Is this the best news that MSU students are making? Reality check: Whitney Gronski, where is the accountability!

A “heavy flow” of break-ins? Thefts have been “spotty” in the past? And the police sergeant’s name is FLO-rence? This whole article looks pretty tongue-in-cheek to me. So let’s all take a deep breath and tone down the righteous indignation,‘k?

This is obviously an attempt at humor based on the things Chillax astutely posted above me. And it is actually quite good. Relax, folks.

We were all excited because we knew it went down there, so that made it kind of sexy. Hahahhahha. Kids.
