The legalization of it will take away its appeal, but people wanting to be rebellious will only find another means of doing so.

As far as rebellion and age limits go, alcohol is legal, but I don't see its attractiveness going away for teens. Legalized pot would likely be the same way.

Editors,
I don't even go to your school, and this WILL probably win me "Loser of the Week" in turn, but shit - leave [LotW] in. It's funny as hell.

-A Florida Resident

-No doubt: Loser is here to stay. More amazing is that The Subterranean has reached the Eastern Seaboard. Rock on.

Editors,
Re: junior class leaflets. Grammatical errors can be spotted by skimming through the already not so verbose handouts. Jolly Rancher was spelt "Jolly Ranger," and run on sentences can be found in almost every paragraph. Clearly, the writers of this newsletter were "incoheritized" in some way during the production of it, either with beer or a few hits in the head with a bat.

Editors,
Loser of the Week should stay...It makes the loser realize what they did was stupid and everyone knows about it, too.

-JayZLink

-That's our goal. We don't want to humiliate people; we simply want to effect a decrease in stupidity around here.

Editors,
Wow - that [memo] was interesting. I must tell you, I found sources who confirmed the information you wrote. You are "guilty" perhaps of not presenting any opposing points of view, but

not of printing inaccuracies and half-truths

-We do our best. Thank you for the approbation.

Editors,
The Loser of the Week is the best thing ever! I was friends with a person in there and they were mad but couldn't help laughing. It was a great thing.
