If there’s a grain of truth in every stereotype, then this one’s more like a mountain. Tempe’s A-Mountain that is. Yes, the trendy gossip/news site, Gawker just posted another story poking fun of AZ’s latest political fiasco. Something about guns and circumcisions. We so wish we kidding.

All of which was catnip for the site’s famously-snarky commenters. But for once, they weren’t focused on making fun of us desert dwellers. Instead they were too busy chiding the writer for confusing UofA with ASU, when he said …

“Jokes about the state aside, we can’t really think of any good reason to prevent the hardworking, intelligent, teetotaling students at University of Arizona from carrying firearms.”

Even funnier, the writer, Max Read, admitted he was wrong and corrected the story to read ASU, reiterated that he was referring to Mill Avenue meatheads and not Tucson’s supposedly saner (read: more pot-loving) student bodies.

That said, our fav comment is the person who wrote that comparing ASU to UofA is like confusing a Manhattan hispter with a resident of Queens, NY. Ouch! Read the Wildcat fur fly below:
