IS THIS FUNNY?
The Setonian, the student rag published at Seton Hall University ran this Newark-spoofing cartoon a few weeks ago:

SHRINK SHRUNK:
A student tells us he went into the campus psychological services one day. Made him fill out form. They got back to him - two weeks later. They told him they'd get to him - two weeks after that. Four weeks?! Sweethearts, it's called booze. Find a bar that don't card and get yourself feeling brand new.
RAVE REVIEWS:
And now, a word from our fans in high places who never miss an issue of the Observer:
"Trash."
"Tabloid."
"Tabloid trash."
"[Observer] has a bad reputation on and off the campus."
"It's not a real newspaper."
"It's raw, it's real and that's why I love it."
Thanks.
FROM THE GRAPEVINE:
Someone got their ex-girlfriend in Woodward Hall pregnant last week. Guess who?
