Hello. We are Peter Littleton, Ph.D and H.L. Rogers not Ph.D. (that douche doesnt even have a masters!). We are the authors of Americas Douchiest Colleges, and the official, sort-of-annual college rankers for GQ magazine. We found your response to our GQ rankings last week to be interesting, and quite accurate! In our very important and highly researched book, turns out, we ranked the same schools. You will see some similarities, and some divergences. We think we're right, of course because we have Ph.D.s. (Or at least one of us does. Ahem). We will let the people decide.
