I can only hope that Daniel De Bonis wrote his letter, “Bestiality has no place in comics”, as some kind of joke. I really have trouble believing that in an institution of higher learning such as this one, some one is actually idiotic enough to believe that Lauren Saul, illustrator of “Rhoda”, actually supports the idea that BU men like to have sex with dogs. If he is serious than it is quite clear that Mr. De Bonis has never heard of a “pun”. They’re these goofy word plays that people having being using to make jokes for quite along time now. An example would be: “Anytime you do something for the first time it can be a pain in debut” HAHAHA!!! You get it Mr. De Bonis? De- but!! HA! On a more serious note, I would like to ask some of the students at this school to please remove the sticks that they have lodged up their butts. I too was a victim of their idiocy. I co-wrote a perspective last semester about sitting in section eight at hockey games. Later in the semester some random schmuck who didn’t even know that he was talking to one of the authors told me how offended he was. I wanted to smack him. What is wrong with you? I wasn’t serious! I’m not sure about my co-author Mike Klein but I don’t really think, “Jack Parker is a god”. It kinda goes against my Catholic faith. Some of the students and some of the people in this country need to lighten up a little. They are constantly waiting for a reason to be offended. I really don’t think Derek Larson is some insensitive gay basher and I don’t think that Jason Cammarata thinks we should all run to Faneuil Hall to have wild sex in the public bathrooms. I really do think that it is ridiculous that people are ask to apologize, give disclaimers, or edit themselves because others are too uptight. As a matter of fact I would like to say that I refuse to apologize to those of you on this campus that literally enjoy having sticks lodged up your butts. It’s an expression, get over it! I hope the columnist, writers, and cartoonist don’t let idiotic people slow them down. If Lauren Saul apologizes for anything other than a really cheesy pun, I will never read this newspaper again. Okay, that is a lie but please, don’t do it.
