Maybe They Should Have Tried Yada Yada Yada

When the alumni association of Framingham State College sent out a fundraising letter, blah blah blah, they decided to gear it towards the younger, recent graduates who hadn’t donated before. Blah blah blah. So in an attempt to be hip and cute—as if just being an alumni association isn’t hip and cute enough—they used the word “blah” 137 times in the letter. Such as the one part that read: “With the recent economic downturn and loan crisis, it has become even more important for Framingham State College to receive your support. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Graduates complained, saying it insulted their intelligence, and the school’s vice president of college advancement sent a follow-up letter apologizing. Maybe they should have started it with: “u kewl grads r gr8! got $?”
