Frats, Brawls, Pundits


From The Auburner. For a real-life example of his metaphor, see this post in The Dawn Patrol.

The Auburner is supposed to be a spoof/lampoon kind of web site, but sometimes these engineers can't help themselves.

Excerpt:
"There’s about to be a brawl between (two fraternities – I forgot which ones).”
Was this true? Were we really about to witness two fraternities go at it? Were we so lucky? I looked around, ... It reminded me of the play “Westside Story”, since it also had fighting between groups of guys wearing pastel clothing.
I counted around twelve guys total who were involved, the sides were pretty evenly divided. ... Everyone from frat A went directly after the smallest guy from Frat B and started wailing on the poor kid. Instead of helping out the little guy, the guys in Frat B targeted the smallest guy in Frat A and proceeded to beat the snot out of the guy.
What a pathetic fight. With two exceptions, everyone involved seemed to leave feeling victorious since they were all able to throw some punches without getting hurt. ... This little event was a perfect metaphor of what political punditry in media has become. ... anyways… political pundits – James Carville, Mike Adams, Ann Coulter, Susan Estrich, Nancy Grace, Bill O’Reilly, Geraldo Rivera (Did you know he’s advertising his show on Facebook?) - They’re all frat boys in this metaphor.
