Where's the beef?

New York has no reason to be proud of the type of person who comes out of Long Island, nor does the overwhelming number of ignorant rednecks bode well for Indiana's future. The fact of the matter is that neither region makes much of a worthwhile contribution to the common good, but both sides need to recognize that they're not all that dissimilar. \nFor one, both have unflattering accents. If New Yorkers think in the same voice as they speak, I don't blame them for being so irritated all the time. Hearing them speak is like listening to a car crash. On the other hand, there is canned pork with larger vocabularies and clearer annunciation than some of the trash in Indiana.\nBut this debate is really about fashion at IU -- I'm sure of it because nothing else is quite so trivial -- so here are my two cents: Ugg boots, fake fur and gigantic bug-eyed sunglasses look totally ridiculous on everyone. The person designing these clothes hates you. Honestly, I'm trying to do you a favor. There's nothing wrong with New York, but the "uniform" looks like a 4-year-old playing dress-up.\nIt's not that the "Smallwood Type" is more aggravating than any other girl; they just happen to stock their closets with the suggestions of crazy people.
