Blatant hypocrisy.

They could easily make thousands of dollars towards the Free Testaclese campaign just by selling the opportunity to actually wear the costume around campus for half an hour. I'd pay $50 to walk around a college campus in the penis costume for half an hour just to have my picture taken with coeds who would have their picture taken with a giant penis.

More on topic though - what Tony said. The blatant, absolute and crushingly obvious hypocracy is insanely hillarious.

They should have a Sex Organ Day instead, where everyone celebrates whichever sex organs they wish.

That's inclusive, that is.

Finally, a day for hermaphrodites everywhere.

That's reasonable but I'm not wearing the Andy Anus costume.

That was the number two choice for my college's mascot.

Having worked in the "Higher Education" area for many years, I've observed that such things are always going on.

Here, for years, we had a campus-run bookstore with an extensive magazine rack. At some point, some campus feminist group complained loudly about the presence of Playboy and Penthouse. The bookstore caved, and the skin mags were no longer sold. (We still don't sell em' but you can get FHM, Maxim, and similar rags)

We had a "take back the night" march a few years ago, with dozens of well-meaning young ladies marching around campus to protest violence against women. One of the frats organized a spray-gun attack against the candle-bearing marchers. Major scandal. Kept the student newspaper going for months.

Another fraternity organized a "pimps and ho's" party. Another major scandal. Ripping down of flyers, long and impasioned editorials in the newspaper...hehe.

And we have a gay advocacy group on campus. Originaly, the GLA. (Gay-Lesbian Alliance) Then, GLTA (transgendered). Then, GLTB. (adding Bisexual)
The current incarnation is GLTBQA. That would be Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Bisexual, "Questioning", and Allies.

Always interesting.

By that point, they're so inclusive it would be shorter to simply specify who they're not.

EESH! Everybody Except Straight Homophobes. Unless They're Questioning Their Prejudices, In Which Case They're Welcome. EESH...UTQTP,IWCTW. It has a nice ring to it.

Nah. They should just call themselves Monkeys Of Doom. It's not as clear, but it will generate more interest on College Activities Set Up Booths On The Quad Day. "Would you like to join Monkeys of Doom?" "What?"

Off topic: I see you're from Missouri. This wouldn't happen to have been at Truman State University in Kirksville, would it? If so, I've been to that party.

As a pimp right? I mean, not that there's anything wrong with you going as a Ho... you know what? Given the nature of this thread, I don't think I'm going to finish the thought.

There needs to be a compassionate support group for homophobes. I mean, it wasn't a choice, they were born that way.

No it isn't. It makes the sexist, dead white male assumption that some organs are sexual and others are not.

We should have a "any organ that might conveivably be used for sexual purposes" day, instead.

Yeah. They should have a "Brain day".

Wait a minute... Everyday is supposed to be "Brain Day" at universities. Somehow this thread came full circle.

It sounds like they were reprimanded because they embarrased a school official. That may not be fair, but it doesn't mean it's hypocritical unless the "vagina warriors" embarrased him publicly as well and weren't punished.
