I originally wasn't going to post a blog post for today becuase I am extremely tired and just got home from babysitting but this story is just too great to not share. So I used to be in my school's Journalism class before I transferred into our TV Broadcasting class. Anyways, I wrote for the A&E section, so the A&E editor (who has an iPhone) still has my number. With her having that iPhone and me having a dumb phone, when she sends out mass texts, I receive (without knowing who the people are) texts replying to the mass text from the editor. Anyways she sent me a text at around 9:30 tonight asking "If and when you have ever watched the oscars, what do you assume that 'the academy' is when a winner thanks them in their speech?"
So first off, let's be clear of a few things. One, I understand that when you text for answers, you are on a time crunch, and therefore need answers quickly. Two, I love my editor, and combined with the aforementioned fact, I will respond. And three, I have never watched the Oscars.
And naturally I replied with, "Sorry, I have never seen the oscars so I don't know what you are talking about" and left it at that. About ten minutes ago though, I get a text from a new number saying, "Is it the academy of motion picture arts and sciences? So I'm guessing a room full of over fed white middle age men who vote for movies" and then another text saying "It's a front for the Babylonian Brotherhood. Look it up and the truth shall set you free."
I am still quite confused on this whole ordeal even though the editor sent back a mass reply of "Perf quote :) thank you!" and I am sure that was aimed at the other two people. This should be an interesting article.
