In reference to the (“Snatchet distasteful”) letter in the April 4 Hatchet, I ask Aaron J. Aisen to quit whining.
First, I would like to say, “welcome to GW.” Being that this is Aisen’s first year encountering The Snatchet, he is entitled to his initial shock.
But why not take it for what it is – an April Fool’s joke. In all the years I have been at GW, I always look forward to April Fool’s issue. It’s raunchy humor alleviates the boredom brought on by the same news we hear every day.
Give The Hatchet people a break. They take enough heat for other issues, which I admit I have had problems with in the past. But The Snatchet is something I look forward to reading every year.
The only problem I have with this year’s issue is that the crossword puzzle was real.
There is no need for The Hatchet to make the April Fool’s edition “something that everyone can read and not have to edit on their own.”
When April 1, 2003, comes around, remember, you may not be pleased with what you are going to read, just go straight for the connect-the-dots puzzle.
