Q: What's the most annoying liberal arts college in the world?

A: Gawker struck comments gold this afternoon while pondering the heir to Oberlin College's throne.

I'm happy to report Kenyon was quickly disqualified, although I should note it's not so much "preppy" as it is "too lazy / intoxicated / ironically detached / self-obsessed to be bothered with your filthy hippie ramblings, thank you very much." (I submitted Macalester's protest-based curriculum as a write-in, but it doesn't seem to be gaining much traction. Roger, back me up here.)

Anyway, I haven't seen so many comments on a Gawker Media blog since the time Deadspin said something about anything.

Q: Could you do me, like, a three-second favor?

A: Sure you can, 'cuz you're My Bestest Friend Ever!

See, Gawker is hosting a T-shirt slogan contest, where the winner is chosen by Digg-style reader vote. My submission is currently sitting in the number-three spot (with +107 votes) -- but with a little Daley-esque voter fraud from the T.A.M.S.Y. community, I'm confident1 we can ride that beyotch to the top of the pops.

DO THIS: (1) Click on "top-rated." (2) Vote for I adopted a third-world baby and all I got was this lousy third-world baby. And you're done!

For extra credit, feel free to vote for my other entry, Ironic Detachment Is The New Giving A Shit. Plus, you know, vote down all other worthy competitors with extreme prejudice. And then repeat the process from every workstation in the building, and all other buildings in the metropolitan area. Thanks!!!!!

POSTSCRIPT: Yeah, I know this is an extremely lame excuse for "daily content," but I've been distracted with the job hunting. I promise you at least three Surprising AnswersTM tomorrow.


1 Okay, I'm actually not confident at all, given my last attempt at voter fraud. Which reminds me, I hate everyone but five of you.
