ClarkConnect Draws Criticism for Accidentally Connecting Students to the 10th Plane of Suffering

President Angel’s office was forced to release an official written apology today regarding the growing controversy around ClarkConnect. Launched on October 3rd, the program sought to connect Clark students with Clark alumni. This was in an attempt to foster connections between those ready to take on the real world, and those who already had; according to an email that promoted it.

Although the program started out smoothly, it quickly drew criticism when students who were exposed to it were inadvertently connected to the 10th Plane of Suffering, and forced to endure 10,000 years of punishment at the hands of Beelzebul.

“The problem here is not that students were sent to the 10th Plane of Suffering. In fact, some students even wanted to be connected by blood magic to the 10th Plane of Suffering. The issue that concerns us is that the 10th Plane of Suffering was shoved down our throats by ClarkConnect,” said Connor Walters (‘18), president of the newly formed Students Undermining Clark Connection Committee (S.U.C.C.C).

Following torrents of emails, flyers, and planes that write stuff in the sky, the S.U.C.C.C has been demanding since the 5th of October that President Angel’s office apologize for ClarkConnect shoving the 10th Plane of Suffering down students’ throats.

A week and a half later, President Angel’s office finally released an official statement apologizing to those who were tormented for 10,000 years by causes related to ClarkConnect. The statement also included a warning for students who did not want to be sent to the 10th Plane of Suffering.

“If you are a student who is not comfortable with 10,000 years of punishment and torment, then we advise you to ignore all emails regarding ClarkConnect, if you haven’t ignored all of them already,”

Fortunately, a survey on Diversity and Inclusion of David Angel Emails showed that 75% of students had already ignored that email.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
