Oh hai2u.  The wrath of the deities has not caught up with me yet. They did not smite me for my blasphemous preachings nor my spews of heresy. Here is the latest oil spill.

Censorshit. Censorship. Whatever you want it to be. Why is it always a party that seeks to protect idiots who do not have the ability to protect themselves?

Let us have a few fine examples.

You would have thought past exam papers were a good thing…well not, not according to USYD First Year Biology Coordinator Peter Fuckface McGee. Night before exam, I log on to find this message.

Exam Format

Folks,

The exam will be entirely multiple choice questions. You have experienced the style in both quizzes, and thus realise that the questions will include a few that are rote recall, and many that require careful thought. The exam is 2 hours long, and you will have 60 questions to answer.

I have also become aware that a practice exam paper has been distributed amongst you. The distribution does not have my support. The practice paper bears little resemblance to the exam paper you will see. The questions are largely rote recall, and they do not test understanding. You will be gravely disappointed if you arrive at the exam thinking the practice paper reflects the structure and nature of the paper we set.

It’s that time of the year again ladies and gents. But then and again, the time of the year doesn’t really influence the number of dunderheads drifting around. After all, can’t blame a person if they weren’t born fully mentally equipped. Yet, it doesn’t stop some people believing they have more though.

It has come to my attention a certain Jolanda Challita is filing a $35k law suit against DET for alleged “tampering”, “inconsistencies”, “bias”, and “errors” regarding the results of her children on the OC/Selective.

the person in question

As quoted from Jolanda Challita

I have children who fall into that category of intelligence and they struggled to cope in the public comprehensive system and they could not get into selective schools despite their school test marks always showing them to be performing at the highest levels as the work was too easy. Somehow every time they did the Selective High School test their results came back such that my children said that ‘something was wrong’. My three children even lost their appeals for placement despite providing the SSU with two different IQ tests each that both put their IQ’s in the 160-165 mark, 150-155 mark and 145-150 mark respectively (one actually conducted by the Department of Education themselves) and substantial evidence of consistent high academic achievement over many years and evidence of a desperate need for an appropriate learning environment as they were struggling to cope. We requested documents under FOI so as to see the process used to determine placement and what we found was alarming.

In case you are ever in doubt. Concise and precise. Version A.0.1

Accent – Used on something the poet / writer deems important.
Alliteration – When the poet thinks he’s tricky and starts everything with the same letter / sound. “All Asians are assholes”, or “fuck off fobs you’re all fucking faggots”.
Allusion – A brief reference to something on a tangent to distract your attention and act as a filler. Also used to make your story seem creditable.
Ambiguity – When the author isn’t quite sure themselves.
Aside – Very similar to the modern “/w” whisper function in chat.
Assonance – Repetition of vowels because consonants aren’t good enough.
Ballad – A lunatic’s verbal ravings deemed educational.
Blank verse – When the poet just can’t be bothered.
Canon – Private collection of senile “fancy-a-round-of-golf” type of chaps.
Carpe diem – What you tell your friend to see some lulz in a hopeless situation.
Catharsis – When you pull out a hanky.
Cliché – UR.

No, I really mean it.

Like what, we’re studying the poems of some opium addict who died so long ago, if we brought him back from the dead there wouldn’t be anything left to kick? So why don’t we all take opium too, as we construct a response to his poems. I mean, that’s what engrish is all about right? Relating the text to context, the author’s intentions and thoughts, isn’t it? I mean, that’s what I was told from my engrish teacher who doesn’t even bother turning up to the week before our exams for the last 3 assessments.
So why don’t we take opium? I mean, it will allow us to comprehend the context on-par and in the same tier as the author – generating a band 6 response. That’s what is all about right?
