You fail
This was a test and most of you failed it. Not really, but if it was, I would fail you. It seems the only reason people responded so strongly to this is because I mentioned Oprah. Next time I will go after Paris Hilton instead.I write blogs often, actually I have written 63 of them since I started working here in July of 2006.Since that time, I have written about various topics such as a sneaker I saw on the side of the road, my car catching fire while my husband was driving it, the crime rates in Chenango County and various other real or fictional subjects. One thing I have learned throughout my blog writing experience is writing about a celebrity is one way to make sure people are reading what you write.I could write about school drop out rates, poverty and sexual abuse, but nothing and I mean nothing, gets people’s attention more than putting the name of a celebrity in the title.Just look at Mike’s blog about Tom Petty, the poor guy got canned for such things. And Jessica, her blog responses hit the roof when she wrote about Tom Cruise.Why is this? I am unsure.I did however, like the responses I received. People now think I get a kick out of making people feel bad, I am a sad excuse of an individual because I picked on such a “humanitarian.”Have you ever met Oprah? I haven’t … therefore to judge what is seen on television is one rule my parents always said to obey: “Don’t you believe everything you see on TV” I can hear my father saying clear as day!On a side note, to Ana Sarca, your application for copy editor is in the mail.

You keep right on writing. I never understood people who refer to celebrities by their first name and act as if they are so wonderful. If Oprah, Paris Hilton or any other celebrity saw these people on the street, they would completely ignore them. I’ll be waiting for the Paris Hilton blog, she has given you pages upon pages of material!

Who are you to test anyone on anything?
BTW, aren’t you in the business of knowing the difference between there, their & they’re? You write for a living, do you not?
