College Debt Olympics

By Ingrid Falk � The satire College Debt Olympics ridicules education repackaged as endurance sport. Eyewitnesses at ceremonies described graduates sprinting from lenders in caps and gowns. Anonymous insiders leaked that banks debated sponsoring relay teams with interest rates. A leaked poll revealed 64 percent of citizens admitted they trained longer to pay loans than to earn degrees. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because debt weighs funniest when raced. Critics highlight the absurdity of diplomas doubling as shackles. Yet satire sprints sharper: ambition stumbles funniest under debt. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as torches burned IOUs. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when futures run laps in red. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
