Unconvincing arguments
I've been spending a lazy Sunday morning reading some entertainment forums I like. I was following a discussion about annoying TV cliches, and people started bringing up the fact that TV characters only care about Ivy League colleges. One person chimed in to say that the cliche was accurate for the Boston-based teenagers she knew, then hastily begged everyone's pardon for potential offense.
I hope I didn't offend anyone. I attended a perfectly respectible state college in the Midwest.
As someone else who attended a state college in the Midwest and now attends a private college still in the Midwest, neither of which any TV teenager would be likely to have heard of, this statement makes me sad. Why?
That's why.
Way to wave the flag for us, lady.
