I assembled seven Nose panelists and asked them to pick a topic we used during 2015 from my list of twelve.
Of the five left over, four of them were connected to the modern cycle of internet shame: Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP official who was pretending to be black, the drunk profane kid demanding jalapeno bacon mac and cheese at UConn, the aunt who sued her nephew for jumping on her, and the dentist who sued Cecil the lion.
Nobody wanted to talk about that stuff. It's not a scientific study but I think it does mean something.
Stay tuned for our first end-of-the-year Nose.
