]]> Comment on Kevin Hart’s Revenge by A Forgiving incompetent Reader http://sbpress.com/2012/02/kevin-harts-revenge/#comment-7150 A Forgiving incompetent Reader Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:45:29 +0000 http://sbpress.com/?p=9943#comment-7150 This time a picture of Kevin Hart is subtly suggesting satire. Otherwise, I would have thought that Hart did get revenge on the racist staff writer by punching him in the face 482 times. I admit, it is a flaw of mine to read content without regard for a piece's rhetoric and context. Still, even if I had gone to those friday recitations of News Lit, it would seem plausible that in the Press's ambiguously defined "satirical" interview, Hart was glad that The Statesman was to receive the only campus media interview.

How is it not plausible that this interview actually happened? He's known to be vulgar at times, and it's possible that he said those things. The Chris Rock photo doesn't suggest satire, it suggests idiocy. Bottom line though, the fact that it was satire actually makes it worse. First I bet the kid who wrote it is white, and it is littered with racist comments. If it was real at least it could be chalked up to Hart being an idiot, but you made it up...now it's just straight up racism. You're an alternative paper, but that doesn't mean you should be throwing professionalism out the window. there is literally nothing in that piece about Hart that would even remotely suggest that it was satire.

SSK was a client of his - that's how she became acquainted with him. he was paid handsomely for designing that logo and creating advertising. period. stop being so apologetic of the level of education this institution provides. it is a great institution. and PS - Look back at news reports from when the Glazer logo was introduced, and note how unpopular it was. you imply in this piece that Glazer created a new logo for Stony Brook free of charge — as a favor to his good friend.
