Josh Towbin lazy, and criminal, shows new article.

"We knew that" says friends"

Churchill High School--- In a developement that shocked few, but was nonetheless scandalous, Josh Towbin was revealed to be lazy and in violation of journalism ethics laws.
In an article titled "Paintball Perfects the 'art' of War," a feature about the emegence of paintball within youth circles published in the Churchill Observer, a quote appears that has caused controversy.
As a rule, people should never wear button up shirts to a date they are expecting to get some on. It takes so f***ing long to take off those buttons. By the time the shirts off, the mood is gone. Where the hell is the fun in that?
The quote's validity is not in question. The issue witht he quote is its speaker; None other than "junior" Yisrael Katz. For most readers of the Ledger, this name may strike a bell. Katz is one of Towbin's good friends. Apparently, Towbin wasn't motivated enough to get of his big ass and find someone who plays paintball besides one of his good friends.
For most laymen, this would seem harmless and humorous. But journalistic ethics and unwritten law cleary states "friends, family members, staff of the newpaper, or aquantances" can appear in a piece published by the newspaper.
It is not clear what Towbin's punishment will be. He did, however, get a good laugh about it with many of his friends.
When asked about his laziness, he responded, rather casually, "Well everyone knows that." A friend of Towbin's, who wishes to remain unnamed, commented "JOSH?! LAZY?! NAHH?! NOOO F***IN' WAY!!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN' ME." A touch of sarcasm could be heard in the comment.
Further research into Towbin's work indicates this is not the first infraction.
I can't belive i took the time to code the italics for the Observer up there. Even though its like two keystrokes, what the hell was i thinking?
In an article titled "Germain's Fridge Wins 1st Place in Science Fair," also published in the Observer, Towbin reported on "sophmore" David Germain's award winning science project; It apparently had to do something with food. Germain, who may also be known to our readers, has been, according to research, a friend of Towbin's since 1st grade, hardly a short time period. Apparently, this menace will stop at nothing in being lazy and breaking ethics laws.
It appears that Towbin;s journalistic binge of terror has ended. He reportedly will not return to the staff of the Observer, a fact, which he claims, is due to "those annoying girls in my journalism class." He will reportedly continue to read and write, but only when "i have to."
