Fuck you John Miller

Note: Sorry to all of our readers, but this editorial’s for j-skoolers.

In 1967, The Ryersonian was a tool of the man. A group of stoned RTA students decided to take it to the man and created The Eyeopener. We were created to raise shit, sometimes wear it, but we’ve always stayed true to being the independent voice of students and the place where truly passionate j-skoolers could go — and flourish.

Then one month ago, the man struck back. Motherfucker, former chair and current journalism professor John Miller decided to shut down independent student journalism for fourth year and second-year JRAD print students. The shit disturbers over here think it’s because he can’t take the competition. He doesn’t want to talk about it.

We now know there are a crop of shit disturbers over there who are pissed they’ve been shut down. So now we’re inviting you — my brothers and sisters — to come join the revolution. We will offer you your own nom de guerre: Scoop 1, Scoop 2, Scoop 3, etc. These clippings will be authenticated by an Editor in Chief Certificate so that they can be included in your portfolio, however we will never identify your true identity to the man.

Come to The Eyeopener, drink beer for truth. I’m buying.
