Am American and went to grad school. Yeah, "Herple derple I gots pubbishhed!" doesn't mean ANYTHING. Lots of colleges and universities have "publishers" and "publications" i.e. no one fucking reads them unless the school basically forces them to as part of their class. Getting "published" is part and parcel of the thesis track for Masters and PHD. I never took the thesis track myself, but I went to class with others who did. They took the same classes and walked the same stage at graduation. Those "publications" are likely around for the sole purpose of "publishing" schitzoid papers like little miss no-tit Natalie.
At least if--and when--Natalie feels the shame of what she's done these past five years or so creeps up on her, her schitzoid word salads will be archived for all eternity--even beyond the 41%.
EDIT: A publication I used to get is The Historian. It contains "I gots puuubliiishhed!" from grad school students. You can't buy it. You can't go to Barnes and Noble or the corner news stand. You get it through Phi Alpha Theta and you pay for a yearly membership. If you stop paying, you'll still be a member, but you won't get The Historian anymore. So technically they got published, but it doesn't really mean anything.
