In The Onion reporter, there is an article about teachers mocking an overweight seventh grader in school titled, "Unpopular Student Ridiculed Mercilessly In Teacher's Lounge". It is unclear who the author is, but the reader may assume it is someone working for theonion.com. Doug Durbin,not the most popular kid in middle school, is teased and made fun of be teachers in the teachers' lounge. The irony and humor here is that teachers (especially middle school teachers, teachers of those who are entering early adulthood) tease their students. Teachers are there for support, help and aid. These teachers are doing the exact opposite.
These teachers who tease Doug Durbin by saying "he sweats so bad", "I feel bad for [his teacher]" and "What a loser" obviously only judge their students by "their cover". These teachers seem like they do not give the kid a chance. Also, the humor here is that the United States judges by what they see way too much. Before even thinking about calling names and teasing the boy, these teachers should think twice about what they say, especially since everyone has a couple flaws in them.
