It seems like Teti suggestions for Haslett's piece center around semantics and precisely defining what "exact likeness" and "trendy" mean. It's strange isn't it that Teti's comment lacks the exact substance that, though far from dazzling, makes Haslett's piece compelling. I don't mean to play the adulator's role here (I do think Haslett misunderstood Bringaker's piece), but comments like that which precedes mine are the self-congratulatory types that have made any expression of sincerity a point of liability for writers. At risk of perpetuating this viciously petty cycle, I will suggest that Teti might pause all this over-the-keyboard snorting to perhaps reexamine her own critical integrity.

That was a Real Doll. And as you obviously missed, it's an exact likeness of the woman in the videos. Weird right? And those aren't "trendy young Chicagoans." They're drunk Bears fans. Liking the Bears hasn't been trendy for some time friend. And the text on Bringaker's piece is a translation of a speech delivered by a high-ranking female politician in Norway, not the artist's views on immigration. I question your journalistic integrity.
