ND Observer runs anti-gay cartoon

From the Department of Disappointed Yet Not Surprised, the Notre Dame Observer ran a cartoon promoting anti-gay violence. How is that possibly acceptable? The editors have already run a retraction and apology, and the authors are claiming that they did it for shock value. WTF?

I’m actually a former staff member of the Observer myself. I used to help write the “Days of Our Lives” update each week in my sophomore year. I thought they were pretty much idiots back then too.

    Seriously?? What were they thinking? Or not. They certainly got people talking if that’s what they were looking for.
