Most Annoying School Responds. Annoyingly

September 10, 2007 RSS Feed Print

Wesleyan University has been named "America's Most Annoying Liberal Arts College" by Gawker, a New York gossip blog, the Wesleyan Argus reports. The school's students, however, don't like their new title one bit. They complained about the Gawker blog's stereotyping and maliciousness. "I find it frustrating that Wesleyan's 'weirdness' is so often reduced to naked parties," said one student. (Wait, what? Naked parties!?)

Meanwhile, others think Gawker just kind of sucks and eventually someone finds the most obnoxious way to say it. "Does being called annoying by an annoying blog actually mean being called lovely?" asked a professor. At this point, definitely not. —Alison Go
