Unfortunately, it seems that the lofty ideals to which ACB aspires are undercut by the petty lowliness of its denizens. Take, for example, this mildly sexist, intentionally harmful, and fairly incomprehensible post about one “Katie Bard”:

HOTTTT HOTTT HOTTT

omg Katie Bard is such a horny easy sleezy biotch. she’s so loose its i feel like im wearing wants and i lost 200 pounds. She has more STDs than she has white bloods cells. Theta! She asked me to have butt sex.

More venereal diseases than white blood cells? If one were to indulge “anonymous guy” with any level of seriousness, one would have to hope Ms. Bard has a terminal case of leukemia. Despite these minor pitfalls, head admin Peter Frank claims in his grand opening press release that ACB “is quickly becoming the central hub of college campuses around the country, giving students the freedom to voice their opinions and ask questions about any facet of college life… the ACB is a website that helps build community and engenders the open exchange of information.”

Okay? The fact that JuicyCampus redirects to ACB assumes that the audience will be the same gossipy malicious bunch. Somehow, I fail to see how following in this salacious tradition will ever breed the positive “exchange of information” to which ACB aspires. But good luck, ACB. If anything, you give me something to blog about. I look forward to writing your elegy in the same poetic tradition as Juicy’s.
