PA Sues Online 'University' For Spamming
CousinLarry writes "Online 'university' Trinity Southern University (Google cache of disabled site homepage) has been sued by the state of Pennsylvania." Besides spamming, this self-described school has, as another reader points out, "awarded an MBA to a cat owned by an undercover Pennsylvania deputy attorney general." I bet my cat could get a PhD.
My cat already has a PhD!
This university could answer an old question.
Which is smarter, cats or dogs?
When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!
I'm a big tall mofo.
I for one welcome our new feline overlords
Did anyone else read this as "Penny Arcade Sues Online 'University' For Spamming?"
Seeing as this is a story about degree mills, I was wondering if I could make a joke about Derek Smart?
Thanks
From the article:
Besides spamming, this self-described school has, as another reader points out, "awarded an MBA to a cat owned by an undercover Pennsylvania deputy attorney general."
Thereby reducing the average IQ of cats, while greatly increasing that of MBAs.
Nonaggression works!
Let's see, cats:
Expect everyone else to do the hard work
Fuck things up and cause damage through boredom
Demand the best of everything without being willing to work for it
Boss people around
Fly into fits of rage
Have short attention spans
Spend 21 hours a day resting
Is there any reason a cat shouldn't have an MBA?

Well, as per the article, if your cat has a spare $499 it's his. Unless the PA DA gets to the "online university" first. Mind you, $499 buys a lot of tuna steak
You can almost hear Alton Poe, the Vice Chancellor, kicking himself for awarding that degree
-- now where did I put that
I really am pursuing an MBA!

Come to think of it - how come my cat isn't smart enough to get a degree?
Interestingly, your cat does have moderation points on Slashdot!
Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
That's DR. Socks to you buddy!
SCO, RIAA, and the MPAA may be in trouble.
We found the source of the lawyers!
All those cats that put forth the effort and hard work to earn their PHDs.

...an MBA shouldn't be too hard for the average cat, either.
And I wish this to be moderated as '-1: D'uh!'
Thank you.

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what's your problem?"
Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!"
Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Harry: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Harry: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know.
The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, "I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade."
Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions."
The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Harry, after a moment: "Legs."
Ms. Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
The principal wondered, why would she ask such a question!
Harry replied: "Pockets."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Harry: "Pants"
Ms. Brooks: What's starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?
Harry: "Coconut."
The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer.
Harry: "Bubble gum"
Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"
Harry: "Shake hands."
The principal was trembling.
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck"
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven question wrong.
...spike
Ewwwwww, coconut...
Tell your facts to shut up, they're contradicting my dogma. America is number one at everything, and any statistics that show otherwise are clearly flawed.
Sheesh.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
