The Cord Makes Me Pee My Bed At Night
March 09, 2006
This week’s Cord brought us not one, but three fantastic stories that got us shaking our head:
First, Yusuf Faqiri, Laurier’s most ineffective director, was asked to resign after missing over 60 percent of this year’s board meetings and looking horribly bored at the other 40 percent. “I will not,” he said, and best of all, nobody can make him.
Faqiri will also “serve” on next year’s board of directors, demonstrating his committment to act like a painful, reccuring sexual disease (link).
Second, a fantastically inept review of Fringe appeared in The Cord. The best quote was about Corwin’s videos:
Giant Robots are Key was a low-budget film of a guy wearing aviators and a helmet, talking about how he will use robots to take over the world. Repetition of certain phrases, such as “Giant robots are key” made this film confusingly funny.
Low budget. Ahem. That’s pretty much the main idea of Fringe. The man with the aviator glasses will no doubt extract cruel revenge on the writers of the article.
And last, The Yes Men came on campus. Jason Shim, one of the organizers of the event, has an entire photoset up on flickr.

Posted by: Tudor on March 09, 2006 at 04:08 PMMore in a “your play is bad and you should feel bad” sort of way.
I also enjoy that it is necessary to establish that a film shown at FR!NGE is low budget. It could have been worse, they could have cut my review altogether (Hip My Angel).
