From the Rude Awakening Department

A 15-year-old aspiring reporter in Indiana watches "All The President's Men" in her journalism class, then thinks...

a) "Yes! What guardians of justice! What an inspiration!"

b) "Wow! Such dedication and guts!"

c) "Yikes! Do journalists curse like that?"

No trick question here; it's c. "It’s made me hesitate because I don’t want to be around (that kind of) language a lot," she tells her local paper.

I love it. Girlie, if you can't handle a few f-bombs from your co-workers, you can't even imagine the crazy shit you'll encounter from your sources. Time for a career in playing with puppies.
