    Default Life imitating art

    So on FB I was linked to this satire article, which amusingly parodies how men view women:

    A woman intentionally rammed her car into a man’s car while arguing over a parking spot in the Haight, but the victim was so focused on her low-cut dress that all he could describe to officers afterward were her breasts, San Francisco police said Thursday.

    The woman drove away after hitting the man’s car at Haight and Cole streets at 5 p.m. Tuesday, said Park Station Officer Al Wu. The man couldn’t tell officers what kind of car it was, let alone supply a license-plate number, but he “was able to give a detailed description of the suspect’s cleavage,” police said.

    No one has been arrested.
    Except... it actually wasn't satire, despite reading like something straight out of the Onion (though admittedly the Onion would have included a more detailed description of the breasts involved).

    What other crazy news stories have made you pause and think about whether it was real or satire?

    Every time America invades a country and says it's to bring freedom and democracy
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    A legit argument if there ever was one. You don't smurf around with parking spots in the city.

    Ivy League Cracks Down as Students Spiral Out of Control - Bloomberg

    Some highlights from the article:

    Yale was hit with a discrimination complaint after fraternity members chanted “No means yes! Yes means anal!”
    At Yale, one of eight private schools in the U.S. Northeast that make up the Ivy League, eight students drank so much at September’s Safety Dance -- an annual 1980s-themed party -- they had to be hospitalized. That prompted the school in New Haven, Connecticut, to ban the event in the future. Senior Elizabeth Snow, 21, who helped organize a session on alcohol policy, said that without comparison data she doesn’t know if eight is a lot.
