OK, what the crap is MS thinking? No one on Earth would believe this BS article about a "12 year old" who is writing a better book report on A Tale of Two Cities than I can. WHAT IS YOUR DEAL MS? WE'RE NOT THAT DUMB!
Our first assignment this year was to read a historical novel and then give a presentation about it to the rest of the class in which we talk about the historical events that occur in the book and the real-life people who were around at the time.
Ah. I remember my seventh-grade thesis pap-- wait a minute... I never did anything that complex in 7th grade! Where does this kid go to school?
... I read the book over the weekend ...
That's some good speed-reading you got there, Johnny.
Now, with each new assignment, I am prepared to jump right into the work and find exactly the tools and information I need. My teachers think I'm a genius. My parents can't believe how much I enjoy doing my homework. And, I have to say, I'm really learning about a lot of people and places that I didn't even know were out there.
Now THAT doesn't sound like something a PR firm would come up with at all...
Two strikes for MS. I wonder what their third false article will be? Perhaps an unborn fetus discussing how his pocket PC running Windows CE makes sure he'll be born on time. Maybe the zombie corpse of Adolf Hitler, reanimated by voodoo magic, will tell me how Encarta's comprehensive article on Jewish society convinced him to embrace a new culture.
