Over in Corvallis, the Gazette-Times makes use of the recent AP story on Emilie Oy as part of their Roses ‘n’ Razzies section (think of it like Willy’s Winners & Losers).
“Raspberries to someone who isn’t such a model citizen,” the paper says, “managing to hit the trifecta of public loathing: a thieving politician-turned-TV reporter.”
For what it’s worth, I like how the paper makes sure to explain that a rose is “one of the most beautiful of all flowers, a symbol of fragrance and loveliness … [o]ften given as a sign of appreciation”, while a raspberry is “[a] sharp, scornful comment, criticism or rebuke; a derisive, splatting noise, often called the Bronx cheer”.
Mmm, raspberries.
