yeah. #penndejo trending on twitter was so perfect though.

My company did this too a few years ago. It was 95% white with a sprinkling of East and South Asians and a few mailroom Latinos and maybe ten "professional" Black employees out of about 4,000. The cafeteria staff were 100% Black.

Never in my life have I been so curious about a celebrity wedding dress as I am about what Lady Gaga's will be like right now.

HOW ARE THERE OVER 200 RESPONSES AND NOBODY HAS BROUGHT UP THE KRUSTY KOMEDY KLASSIC!?

"You know, we oughta go after that hipster demographic; I hear lots of them are Libertarians, and they all wear vintage clothes, so you know they respect tradition. Find me a hipster to reel 'em in; some guy with a web site."
