Miss Cleo, Cornell's newest consultant.While the recession of the century becomes a
tiring pop culture trend story, academic institutions are facing a real economic crisis, a trend epitomized in the recent advice book
How to Survive without a Golden Parachute. With such perilous uncertainty ahead, the wizards of Cornell, Incorporated (that is to say, the men behind the curtain) are turning to more “alternative” means of financial planning. After several attempts to schedule a meeting with
John Edward of
Crossing Over, the superstar psychic repeatedly declined, commenting: “My unreal ability to speak to peoples’ deceased loved ones doesn’t qualify me to make a financial forecast.”
Disgusted by the psychic’s incompetence, Esteemed alumna Ann Coulter called Edward a faggot, in a move reminiscent of her to-do with a certain politician named John Edwards. Exasperated and unfulfilled, the University contacted psychic/shaman/scam artist Miss Cleo, née Youree Dell Harris. The oddly named Youree “saw the University’s request for help coming” and gracefully obliged. An independent marketing firm saw the move as “potentially fruitful” but was wary of “lurking telephone bill charges.”
Belated April Fools! Yeah, we missed the mark, but forgive us. Please?
PS: Most of that was written by my dear friend Lauren Johnson. Give her a pat on the back, will ya?
