There is Finally a College Gossip Site More Retarded Than JuicyCampus
And its name is Posh Society! WTF is it? Um, I don’t really get it, yet, but I’m working on it. They say they’re an “interactive forum for entertainment and communication, where users anonymously evaluate the social scene at their college.” It’s like JuicyCampus, but with pictures? And instead of subject matter like discussion of the least manicured vagina on campus (“Grass on the Pitch? Shave that shit!”), we have pictures of people you don’t know and Perez Hilton-style commentary (see “she bangs, she bangs,” at left). It’s not really clear who posts or moderates all these blog-style posts, and the site’s admins didn’t respond to my email. But you can submit gossip in a typical blog entry form, so, being the wily journalist that I am, I decided to see if I could get something past the mysterious crab people moderators.
And it went through! Extra lulz for animal abuse.
Needless to say, this site won’t catch on for a number of reasons. First of all, nobody cares what shitshow frat party Susie McSororistute is attending. There’s a reason Perez Hilton blogs about celebrities, what with their actually being famous and all.
Second of all, Posh Society wants to be positive: “Through diligent oversight and strong control filters, Posh Society will ensure that this social utility is entertaining, constructive, timely, informative, and not used in a harmful or malicious manner.” The only reason JuicyCampus works is because it is used in an expressly harmful or malicious matter. Complimenting rando’s bangs? Fucking boring. Dishing on the sorry state of said rando’s nether bangs, however? Do tell.
Third of all, the moderators suck at their job. I contacted a guy who was identified in a couple of pictures on Facebook, and he said that he didn’t put them up — isn’t posting pictures of people without their permission crossing certain legal lines? (He might be lying to cover the fact that he wants to be a local celeb, though.) They let my retarded post get through, and they probably wrote up that vapid “she bangs” shit, too. It gets worse, though. They followed the “bangs” thing with this matrix of celeb bangs:
Die, Posh Society, die.
