MANHATTAN, Kan., - Kansas State University apologized for a marching band routine that some complained looked like male genitalia assaulting the University of Kansas mascot.
University officials said the formation during halftime of Saturday's season opener against South Dakota was supposed to depict the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek engaged in battle with the University of Kansas Jayhawk, but some social media users complained the Enterprise shape looked more like a set of male genitals.
"We apologize for anyone offended by our halftime performance depicting the starship enterprise and the Jayhawk mascot," a message on the marching band's official Twitter account reads.
Kansas State president Kirk Shultz tweeted he was "sorry if anyone was offended by the performance at half-time."
Frank Tracz, the school's marching band director, posted a chart online showing how the formation was supposed to look.
"The chart below represents the drill from tonights show. There was absolutely no intent to display anything other...
I I don’t know sir, but it looks like a giant...”
“DICK”
“Yaa”
“take a look out at starboard”
“OH ma God, it looks like a huge...”
“PECKER, wait, that’s not a wood pecker, it looks like someone’s...”
“PRIVATES, we have reports of an Unidentified Flying Object, it is a long smooth shaft, complete with...”
“TWO BALLS, what is that? That looks just like an enormous...”
“WANG, pay attention”
“I was distracted by that enormous flying...”
“WILLIE, what’s that?”
“Well it looks like a giant...”
“JOHNSON”
“Yes Sir”
“Get on the hold of the British intelligence and let them know about this”
I’m quite sure that any firing of photon torpedoes would have been interpreted as being ejaculation. You just can’t argue with insanity.
(SATIRE) Comment from Donald Trump: “Some of you fools really need to get a life!”
Kansas fans should be offended by the way their team played....South Dakota State?!?!?!?! Really?!?!?!!
I suppose at least it wasn’t like losing to Portland State.
I don’t see either one. How stupid.
BINGO....... sad but true
I don’t know what it looks like.
But the band director should be fired.
That’s about the dumbest band formation I’ve ever seen.
Whether that’s a dick or not.
I guess my mind must not be particularly filthy. I don’t see anything sexual or phallic here.
I also don’t see it.
Probably not a ping...
To me, it looks like Napoleon’s retreat from Russia.
Heh heh heh ....
Maybe it was a salute to Mr. Sulu?
Now THAT’S coming out of the closet.
Yeah well in Sulu's case, that would going where lots of men have gone before.
I had to to de-focus and stare at mid-field...
