Wow, Red and Black, way to maturely address the huge mistake you made yesterday--with a small correction on page 2 and a short-sighted comic that shows how little you know about WUOG. (Continued…)
I agree with Erin. I consider myself to have a pretty good sense of humor but this cartoon is just plain offensive and childish. Instead of truely rectifying their reporting mistake with an apology, the R&B prints a small correction (which I did not even notice until I read Erin's comment above) and a cartoon that attempts to further perpetuate a false stereotype. (Continued…)
You disappoint me once again R&B. Now you insult my friends because your caricatures look like people I know, and I doubt that they smoke. No one I have met at the station fits the music snob stereotype you have portrayed. (Continued…)
Oh, Red and Black, you are making me very very sad. Had you read or printed the letter I sent to you yesterday (or any number of letters that I know where sent by our staff, DJ's, talk show hosts, and listeners) you would know what kind of person a WUOGer is. (Continued…)
As a WUOG staffer who was, reasonably enough, upset by yesterday's front-page smear of the station, I expected to find the following day's edition of The Red and Black sporting a clear, visible headline about its mistake. (Continued…)
I'm disappointed as well. The cartoon's cute - but bad timing, folks (I'll have you know that though many of the staffers are proud to be called "music snobs" in good fun, they're the friendliest and most welcoming bunch I've had the pleasure to meet at UGA). (Continued…)
Oh, I disagree with all of these points. This is one of the funnier op-ed comics I've seen in a while. The cartoonist indulges in stereotypes, but he does it to good effect. (Continued…)
