Point-Counterpoint Edition [Three Best Things 3/29/10 - 4/4/10]
Posted by Jason on Sun, 04/04/2010 - 8:09pm
| Dispute | Point | Counterpoint | A Word, If I May |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. iPads: How Many Should You Have Bought by Now? | Gina Trapani says you should return the one you already bought and wait for the next generation. Cory Doctorow says you should buy one if you hate children. | Nick Sweeney says you should buy one for your dad. John Gruber says you should buy one for each teenager who lives on your block. | I’m with Dave Winer: the iPad is a really, really cool toy. |
| 2. We Should Hate Duke Basketball Even More Than We Already Do, Shouldn’t We? | Andrew Sharp lays out the case for rooting against Duke until the end of time. UNC fan Will Blythe stares into the abyss, and the Krzyzewski stares back. | Spencer Hall trolls Earth by recommending we all learn to stop worrying and love Duke. Stewart Mandal gets all Atlas Shrugged on us (Coach K is Coach K). | Stories need villains; college basketball needs Duke. The black hat fits, Dookies, so wear it like you |
| 3. Manly Man of the Week? | Tattooed, ‘stached long-haul truckers who like to knit sweaters in their downtime. | Counterpoint? | I repeat: “Tattooed, ‘stached long-haul truckers who like to knit sweaters in their downtime.” |
