Subject: RIAA
You guys should do an article about something like,"RIAA Taken to Supreme Court by Students for Use of Affirmative Action in Subpoena Policies"Part of it would be the RIAA chairperson explaining their position: "We found that students in some demographics were more likely to steal copyrighted music, so we devised a point system to balance the backgrounds (and other factors) of the students we subpoenaed."
Affirmative action is so 2003. Exposed breast jokes are the new affirmative action jokes.

Subject: Letter to the Editor: Girls Gone Mild
Thanks for the story "Girls Gone Mild". As an Alum who spent 3 years in that prision, I got several laughs out of the article. Its about time the truth about Martha Cook got out. I picked that place only for its close location to my classes. Most but not all the girls in Martha Cook are like the ones in the article. Burlodge and the Engineers there provided the much needed escape from the Nunnery. I'll never forget, the day I escaped from that twisted convent.
Thanks,

Thanks. We love when people say nice things about us. It's the reason we got into the satire business in the first place. Or if we want to be pretentious: To quote Hamlet: Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves all; believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery. Where's your father?
