As I’m sure the other ND alumni did, I received in my inbox today an invitation to check out lovetheenotredame.nd.edu. “Self,” I said, “I bet you dollars to donuts this is a treacly Flash movie set to a plinky-plonky piano that will make you feel all warm and nostalgic, only to leave you slightly cold with the plea for donations at the end.” I was not disappointed. That’s not to say it isn’t well done; ND’s marketing is always really spiffy and professional. It’s just that it’s become utterly predictable to me. (And I admit I snorted a little when I noticed that both pictures in the “dreams come true” frame are of minority students.)

These statistics on women are so stupid. Ooh, half of Aussie women are uninterested in sex? We’re sedentary and have negative body issues? Is this a surprise to anybody? The real wonder is why they didn’t go on to point out that those percentages basically apply to women in Western countries across the board. They’re making it out like the women here are some sort of exception, when in my experience that’s just not the case.
