CREDIT: The Spring Fling Website
To the people who say that Yale doesn’t encourage technological innovation, you ain’t seen nothing. The Spring Fling website has semitransparent drop down menus, videos that scroll sideways, and a logo that reminds me of my childhood obsession with Legos, but in a good way. I hope it gets a shout-out from Macklemore or Best Coast. I hope President-elect Salovey hires the Spring Fling Committee to bring some of that pizzazz to www.yale.edu, or at the very least OCS, because, let’s face it, those websites are barely fit for Internet Explorer right now.
D: Anthony Kennedy
Everyone’s profile picture is a red equals sign and we’re ready to deliver a smashing, withering blow to Prop 8. Anthony Kennedy, I know you aren’t the only reason that isn’t going to happen. It’s just easy to blame you because you are, to quote The Sound of Music, unpredictable as weather. You’re the certified swing vote, the new Sandra Day O’Connor, the man of mystery. I know you think the Court shouldn’t have heard the case and you’ll let Prop 8 die quietly, like a dehydrated geranium. We just wanted a bloody beheading.
FAIL: Spring Breakers
I’m not talking about the movie starring James Franco, because if I did I’m sure he’d tweet an angsty picture about it like that one time when the YDN really pissed him off. (Well, maybe I am, because I would on principle fail a movie about girls in bikinis going on a crime spree to pay for a spring break trip. I mean, how do you plan to pay for the rest of your life? That movie was already made, it’s called Thelma & Louise, and we know how that worked out.) Anyway, the real spring breaker I hate is you. I’m glad you had an awesome time, drank awesome shooters, listened to awesome music, and then sat around to soak up other people’s awesomeness (thanks, Janis Ian!) in a country that had both NGOs and conveniently located beaches. However, the joke is on you because I finished all of House of Cards from my bed.
