Girl Quits On Dry Erase Board a Hoax 147
suraj.sun writes "It's the same old story: young woman quits, uses dry erase board and series of pictures to let entire office know the boss is a sexist pig, exposes his love of playing FarmVille during work hours." Story seem too good to be true? It probably is, at least according to writer Peter Kafka. Even so, Jay Leno and Good Morning America have already reached out to "Jenny."

There was a time when it wasn't this way, but samzenpus is the "new" kdawson. You could probably tell samzenpus to eat a bowl of boogers, and he would do it after telling you that it's gross. He's just that stupid.

Could someone please come up with sources?
I looked it up in my school's grammar book and wikipedia. Both explicitly allow the combination of pronouns with contracted auxiliary verbs. But neither forbid the use of contracted auxiliary verbs with real nouns.
I'm not a native speaker - but it definately doesn't sound clumsy to me. And this obviously is a situation where informal use of a language is quite appropriate.

Wow. You seriously know how to take just about all the fun out of something that was pretty entertaining. Sometimes you just need to shut the fuck and have a good laugh and realize that it doesn't even matter if it was real or a hoax.
Enjoy life - don't analyze everything to the point that all meaning is lost.
