Apparently they don't have to be born to have an online presence.

I can't believe this dirt-squirrel is still getting press over this. In fact, it hit the British papers this morning.

The thesis has been out there for several weeks. Just made mainstream last week. But not in the news anymore. Brett Favre and Jenn Sterger.

The uncut version of the thesis was on. www.bcclist.com. Scroll down a little, and download the power point.

I have read she has been offered book deals, and perhaps a movie deal. I can definitely see this on Lifetime. It might have too much adult content, therefore, HBO or Showtime.

In the March 2006 issue of Rolling Stone, the students said the late night hookup spot was Shooters. And thats where the Duke students hang out.

There still is alot of underage drinking going on in college. And some things never change. I am just glad that my college days, where before Internet mainstream, Sure would have made courses and homework easier with a laptop and internet. But due to email, facebook and social networking........... there is no privacy.

Obviously Karen kept a very detailed journal, of her life. Because she gives dates, location, names, and many many details of her Escapades while being a Duke undergrad.

I would think it would take several hours, to sit down and actually put together the power point. It contains alot of written dialogue. Should have given her SUBJECTS a fictious name.

If someone, emailed you this Thesis, wouldn't you have shared it also? Of course you would. The thesis could really just be a figment of her imagination. Common sense obviously was not used.

Maybe she emailed the thesis, when she was consumed with alcohol.

She deducted points for one guy's being Canadian.

Thanks for the link to the un-redacted version. It was much easier to read.

I read online last night, that agents have been ringing Karen's phone off the hook, with book deals. And the rights for a movie deal.

I could see this on Lifetime or Bravo network, if cleaned up a little. But, more for HBO. She should write for somebody, because her other job prospects made be limited. (short period). Feel for the parents, and family.

The Subjects will be just fine. Especially those that received high marks. I don't know what she was thinking, but compiling are of her "Data Collection" and putting together a powerpoint thesis for some laughs.

How long would it take to put together that power point???? You would have to gather the information, but going through it and sifting out what you wanted to put on the slides. Her little project took many many hours to complete. The girl has alot of free time on her hands. Obviously, it was completed after her graduation. As one of the subjects was a hookup, the night before Graduation. (if I remember reading that correctly).
