A Plagiarist Exposed

This is just intense. Nate Kushner, a comedy writer, was approached by a college girl on IM to write a paper for her. Apparently the topic of the paper appeared in his IM profile, so she decided to take the easy way out. Or so she thought. Nate strung her along, wrote a fake paper, and posted the entire debacle on his blog in the hopes that the girl would get caught. Mean yes, but absolutely hilarious. All would be plagiarists – read this and think twice.

I reached one more branch out to her, in the form of misspelling the name of the god of destruction as a liquor brand. But it wasn’t enough to get her to tell me to fuck myself, so I started making up my plan. Which was real simple: Take her money and cut and paste a paper together from the internet that was so obviously plagiarised that she’d be guaranteed to get caught.

Is this harsh? Eh, I don’t think so. She got the syllabus saying she’d be kicked out of school for plagiarism, so she shouldn’t be surprised. Plus, I have a nice little English degree that I did all the work for myself, so I find it a little offensive that this girl for whom money is no object is buying papers like that.
