The yoga pant girls are appended to every section like a non-sequitor, literally doesn't make any sense.

I was hoping the author was warming up towards demonstrating how girls in yoga pants, as a sociological phenomenon, predicted the higher education macro, in a Freakonomics sort of way. I've been had

Some of us are strongly in favor of girls in yoga pants.

EDIT: Downvote me, ya bastages. What can I say, I'm a straight man who appreciates women willing to objectify themselves modestly

True. But there has been an uptick of stuff here on HN (and maybe in general, but I don't read random blogs much) of articles with dumb, often irrelevant twitter-like reaction gifs splattered throughout.

I guess if I had to pick between the two, I'd take the girls in yoga pants.

> Professors like me have to fill articles like this with yoga photos to keep people’s attention.

I guess it didn’t keep everyone’s attention :(

You made this same comment 3 times, one for each top level comment. I must ask, what's the strategy and mindset at play here?

1. It was relevant to each comment

2. I have no reason to believe that a single comment would reach all 3 posters

3. It was exceedingly, exceedingly ironic that roughly 50% of all top level comments (at the time I wrote my comments) didn’t read and/or pay enough attention to the article when said article _explicitly_ added images of girls in yoga pants to get people to read and/or pay attention to the entire article.
