Vagitation Continued (Hidden Message Edition)
On February 15, ODE columnist Gabe Bradley wrote a column in which he lambasted the Vagina Monologue for its blatant suckiness. I’ve read better critiques of the yearly twat twaddle, but it was refreshing to read this kind of criticism in the Emerald, if only because I could sense the imminent onslaught of angry letters to the editor.
So let the vagitation begin.
In today’s ODE, student senator and O.C. nemesis Sarah Wells insinuates that Bradley is missing the point.
“I wonder if [Bradley] has sat next to any of the audience members who felt uplifted by the performance, who cried at the sad stories and laughed at the funny ones … ?”
Well, probably not. But what is this, an applause system? Is one man’s objective opinion immediately devalued because an audience was easily placated by simple platitudes and tired clich�? That’s a rather cocky rhetorical argument, Sarah. And it certainly isn’t smooth, motherfucker.
