Hey Anon:

So sorry! Seriously, I knew that. Grumble. I hate when I do that.

Actually, there IS a Miami of Ohio. It's a term used to separate Miami University (based in Miami, Ohio) and The University of Miami (based in Miami, Florida).

That being said, it's a pretty bad attempt at satire. The hiring preferences may be true in the beginning, but once someone gets a few years of experience under his or her belt, school becomes irrelevant. I think a hiring manager would take a "Miami of Ohio" go-getter over a Harvard lazy SOB any day.
