[!@#$%!]

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GAGGED:

pardon my impertinence, but i can't help but think, you must have tasted shit at some point in your lives. i'm not trying to insult anybody here, just, i can't help to think it, and it has to be said-- there's gotta be a memory somewhere in your unconscious, to explain the reaction. perhaps as a baby you dug in your diapers looking for snacks? i'm only saying this because i've never eaten shit, and every time i watch this thing the only reaction i get is uncontrollable laughter. anyway-- i had to say that. if anyone cares to share any childhood anecdotes on the subject, i'm all ears...

This is so fake. The handwritten comments look like the handwriting of a 6th-grader. And the teacher's remarks are totally un-teacher-like, unless we're talking P.E. or Driver's Ed teacher. "creative flair for writing..." So cliched. And the critiques are not the articulate comments you'd expect from an English teacher, even at the high school level. A true English teacher, if this bothered him or her, would be decidely more snide in his/her commentary to match the student's snide undertaking of a porn review. At least the smart teacher would do so, to show the student that the student is not getting the upper hand. Like the comment above, "A 'touching' analysis but doesn't 'penetrate' the subject." And, "Don't see me. Just do it over, or accept an F."

mang,you forget that engrish departments these days are all staffed by TAs-- not tits and ass but grad students with a license to kill.

But even a TA would offer responses a bit more articulate, and certainly, being closer to the student's age, even more smart-ass. I'd expect a TA to come back with something like, "This is wack, my friend. No porn allowed, you know the rules. Big fat zero, your bad--sorry."

Ha ha. Yeah, okay. I guess I just remember the smarmy snarky ones who intimidated me with their demonically miniscule handwritten comments all over my English papers.
