I think it's pretty common and understood--and after all, you can, and did, post your reply here.

To me, Willamette Week is nothing more than a childish joke of a rag working hard to entertain the 20-something crowd. I get a kick out of an article here and there, but it's mostly a journalistic wasteland, as supremely exemplified by this poorly conceived, horribly executed project.

Also, stretching the thing out to well over 50 days, but only doing it online and not really publicizing it seems rather amateur-ish.
