The Insipid Humor of Gawker Lives On
In their tireless effort to beat a dead horse:
Alumni of America's Most Annoying Liberal Arts College were all abuzz last week about this song "Party On Fountain." Composed by Molly Gaebe '07, Mary Campion '07, Pat Wolf '07, Kate Heller '09 and Ted Feldman '09, who are collectively known as New Teen Force, the song is about partying at different places on the Wes campus, like: "Party in the Bayit, Shabbat Shalom!" Sounds hilarious, right? Too bad you can't listen to it!Indeed, why, Gawker? Slow news day?
"It is now gone from the internets as per their request because it is, apparently, not finished. There is also a video in the works," says blog of all things Wesleyan, Wesleying. Ha, those Wesleyan kids can't even get viral internet success right!
But as we all hold our collective breaths, we can try to begin to puzzle out the meanings of some of the words of the song. "The Bayit (as in "Party at the Bayit, Shabbat Shalom") is a Jewish special-interest house," an alumna informs us. But what's an "Eclectic Party?" Also: why? Why?
Thanks Matt Ball '08!

Gawker's upset that it doesn't get our inside jokes?
pretty much.
haha, gawker totally mooches off of wesleying for interesting content. the only difference is that it is actually interesting when wesleying posts it...
Dudes, you are famous!
hooray For wesleying!
"Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about..." ::sings::
Hmm . . . wonder what a day at Gawker is like. "Journalists" sitting around trying to figure out ways to be mean, trying really hard to be clever and failing at it daily. The most-annoying-liberal-arts-college thing is so stale. They're based in one of the most dynamic cities in the world, and they choose to cover Wesleyan?
"Slow news day?"
Can we not pretend Gawker is a news source?
They call themselves "news and gossip". Any publication described as such provides solely the latter, and not the former.
...why are we giving Gawker attention?
If we ignore them, maybe they'll go away. And if they don't, at least we'll be ignoring them so we don't have to read anything they say.
ha maybe to provoke a response from wesleying!
Wesleying and Gawker are those kids in fifth grade who ridicule each other because they are secretly crushing...
obsessed-much?
Gawker completes me.
Weren't Eclectic parties one of the reasons, according to Gawker, that we are supposedly so annoying? Why are they asking about them now?
