A quick calculation: 42% of Fimoc readers worked at their college newspaper. Roughly. Therefore, we will be celebrating The Paper, MTV's new reality series about a high school rag, as though it were the fucking Pentagon Papers. It starts Monday.
Uh, yup. Proofreader.

Nerds!
Seriously, did you see the PBS "Independent Lense" special where they follow Penn St's newspaper team for a year? Imagine that, it was called "The Paper"

I don't know if what I did at the Stupid could be called "working."

Guilty, guilty, guilty. High school and college. I haven't watched a series on MTV since the first season of "The Real World." (I guess I'm dating myself. Has it really been 20 years?) So maybe I'll check this out, if only to lament my lost youth. Sigh.

Dear MTV,
Please go back to where you once were, a station that played music videos and some of those videos so damn cool.
Thank You.
Your Lost Friend,
America

Just got done watching it. Didn't think it was terrible for an MTV show and I'll keep watching the rest of the episodes. That said, I'm very interested in finding a copy of the PBS special mentioned by the commenter above. Any links?
