Funny Or Not Funny?

An excerpt:

McElroy, who sources reported has been called “faggot” on 43 separate occasions in the past month, confirmed his favorite lunch spot is strategically located on the exact opposite end of the building from both the gymnasium and the hall most frequented by the school’s eighth-graders. The 12-year-old also told reporters it “felt cool” knowing he had a little corner of the school largely to himself for a moment.

We should be able to laugh at ourselves just like anybody else, but this just doesn’t feel funny to me. Maybe because so many of us were this kid. (Tipped by JMG reader Ivan)
