Really television?

Really Seton Hall television? Cutting out channel 11 right before the ending of One Tree Hill? This occurrence left thousands of girls and a few guys around the Seton Hall campus wondering how the episode ended. Even worse, Channel 11 was completely eliminated the following week, when special guest Nick Lachey was starring. We now do not know the state of Peyton Sawyer after her nearly fatal car accident last week. This is absolutely unacceptable; I feel like I have lost a special part of me when i can't even watch my favorite favorite favorite show. Way to go Seton Hall, you continue to ruin the lives of many.

Really Eclipse Gum?

Dear Wrigley,

I am an avid consumer of your Eclipse Gum product; however I recently came across quite the dilemma while attempting to remove a piece of spearmint gum from its packaging. As I reached in my bag, to grab out my former favorite type of gum, the last thing I envisioned was a bloody hand. I slid out the inner sleeve from the outer sleeve (cardboard, normal material used in packaging), yet inner sleeve (metal death machine) sliced open my finger like cheese in a grater. There was blood everywhere…everywhere! I found myself becoming weak, and my face began to turn pale. I did not have enough energy to call 911. Thank goodness my roommate walked in while I was passed out on the dirty, cold floor. One would think something as simple as removing gum from its wrapper would not turn into a violent massacre. Natural germ killing? More like natural cause of bodily injury. And really, Eclipse gum? Cardboard AND metal packaging? Trying to be fancy? Not cool enough for just one?

Good tidings,
Nicole and Sean

Really Pirate King?

Dear Mariel,

We are writing to you in lieu of Tuesday evening’s Pirate King event. When we had first purchased our tickets we did so in support of our friend Sebastiano. What we came to realize was that the event was very unorganized and some of the actions were inappropriate. For a Catholic Institution, we were surprised to witness these acts of immaturity, and I’m sure Monsignor would be appalled. One of the contestant’s talents was a lap dance and he and the girl basically had sex with clothes on the stage. Many people had turned their heads; actually almost all had done so. We could not believe what we were seeing and there was no humor in this action at all. We feel this event was an absolute embarrassment to our school, for more reasons than just the above mentioned one. Wow taking your clothes off, what a talent! You should totally represent our school as Pirate King, not. Kenny from the Real World/Road Rules challenges was kind enough to come out and support our cause however, he probably left disgusted and fed up because we know most people did. In addition to this, the event took over a full hour to even begin. Those who were running this event could have done something more to inform us why it took so long and in this full hour they notified us only 3 times that the event would start soon. It seemed to us almost all were too intoxicated to focus. As we sit in over priced dorm rooms at this extremely expensive institution we are reflecting on this evening and it makes us sick. And by the way… really? Seton Hall Unsweetened iced tea? Really? Please give us our money back because it was an absolute waste of $7.

Sincerely,
Regards

Nicole and Sean
