Rebecca Martinson makes her parents proud

Posted on 2:20 AM by Unknown
Rebecca Martinson, former member of the Delta Gamma sorority at the University of Maryland, has realized her 15 minutes of fame by writing a nasty email to her (now) former sorority sisters so over the top that one of them was moved to circulate it on the internet.

The Daily Mail (of course) has thorough coverage; there is also this bit about a shout-out on the Daily Show from the student newspaper at Maryland and this bit from Gawker.

Thought question: what is the effect of this episode on Rebecca's discounted lifetime earnings?

Hat tips: Charlie Brown and Jess Goldberg
