Top 5 reasons this top 5 list was a little bit terrible:
1) 4 out of the 6 lists were blatently copied from the book ‘Bart Simpsons Guide to Life’ published in 1993 by Matt Groening- seriously! Check it
2) Jokes based around childlike innocence/children are only funny if they die, swear or have paedophiles in them
3) One of the only 2 remaining lists that wasnt stolen from mediocre 90’s pop literature was about TV. I mean TV? Seriously?? Thats the best we can do?!
4) its time to get over mocking people for dressing differently to you- indies, emos, bogans, first years WHATEVER! lets unite and mock groups that deserve our hate- like paedophiles! Or jews!
5) Lets face it kids- when the only ‘Top 5’ list that makes people laugh is about hills and is published on a scruched piece of notebook paper, and uses the word ‘fucken’ with comic perfection, we really have got a problem
i actually expected more out of vic students to be honest…

I know! I have that book. It’s outright plagiarism – which is apparently worse than murder in university circles. I demand they be publicly named and shamed!
yeah a letter this week will name and shame them….
btw some of Geoff and Tanooki’s lists are likely to appear this week. We’ll open this section up regularly to become reader-contributed much like the letters. We’ll probably just add one list ourselves per week and get the rest from you guys. This is because we are lazy.
I thought that some of those lists looked familiar…
