My Apologies…

I'd like to give our readers my sincerest apologies today. You see, earlier in the day, I posted this picture...

...with what I thought was a clever little caption...

"So boring, he’s paid to make Oatmeal look interesting by comparison."

...in this post.

However, in the brief time this post has been up on HLS, we've been flooded with e-mails and messages from our readers expressing confusion. You see, apparently most of you don't have any idea who this man is. Further, a good dozen of you seem to think this man is Larry from Accounting.

Thinking on it further, I've come to realize that I played the fool here. Of course most of you wouldn't know who this man is. You see, he's Joe Tiller, the Head Football Coach of Purdue College. But how would you ever know that? It's not like anyone outside of West Lafayette, Indiana ever pays any attention to Purdue Football. Hell, have you seen a Purdue Football game on TV since the last time Notre Dame played them? Exactly.

So my apologies. A joke just isn't funny if nobody gets it. I was trying to make a clever joke mixing the fact that Joe Tiller looks just like that guy that used to do the oatmeal commercials and the fact that Purdue Football is the most boring college football program in the world.

From now on, you, the HLS reader, have my pledge that our clever and witty content will contain only the freshest and/or most popular elements of the zeitgeist. Thus, HLS will no longer use any references to Purdue Football.
