Fliers scattered around the University of Pennsylvania campus read that Bristol Palin was going to be this year’s fall speaker. Penn’s Special Events and Planning Committee had apparently made its highly anticipated announcement and decided to host the advertised Teen Pregnancy Prevention Spokesperson, leaving some students dazed and confused.
Those posters turned out to be a hoax. Under the Button, UPenn’s “24/7 source for all things Penn,” apparently took the time to create the fake advertisements just to write this charming description on their web page,
A proud teen mama, (and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ambassador…huh,) Bristol Palin has travelled the U.S. advocating for abstinence, earning her the name “The Worst Person In The World”. Now, thanks to some questionably-legit fliers, she’s coming to Penn! No offense B, but Penn kids are active, and the university dishes out more free condoms than acceptance letters. But hey, make yourself at home, just don’t be shocked when we choose bad sex over no sex.
I hope the ink and paper these students wasted was worth it. The “active” link the author includes in the post takes you to a New York Times article called, “Sex on Campus – She Can Play That Game, Too,” which seems to approve of young women at UPenn choosing one-night stands over serious relationships. I analyzed the seven-page feature in July. If these students want Penn to be known for its free condoms rather than its diplomas, mission accomplished.
On UPenn SPEC’s Facebook page, they condoned and even applauded the poster hoax.
Contrary to Under the Button‘s story this morning, Bristol Palin will not be our fall speaker. However, we congratulate the masterminds of this hoax for their poster-making skills and flyer-ing tactics! We look forward to announcing our fall speaker in the coming week!
These students’ hoax may have been “all in good fun,” but it wasn’t all in good taste. After the negative media attention Palin received for her unplanned pregnancy during her mom’s vice presidential campaign, she has been an ambassador for pro-life and pro-family causes. By doing so, this 23-year-old has managed to change a negative into a positive. She even shared her joyful life with her son in a Lifetime documentary called, “Life’s a Tripp,” proving that from an unplanned pregnancy can come a blessing, not just a regret.
That’s a message any college student should hear.
I’m reading people who think right now. Talk to your imaginary friend.
Sure and you can shove that spoon up your arse and dislodge some atherosclerotic plaque from your brain, old timer.
I feel your pain. :)
Ok I’ll bite, what is the message? Or would you rather just play silly games?
C’mon, share your brilliant wisdom.
Well, aren’t you sweet.
My “message” was a simple post, #21, and if it really is impossible to understand, perhaps you can read something else.
You are a real sweetheart.
Thanks for the snark.
You called the beat so I played your tune. Have a good night anyway.
You make a good point.
Ohhh aren’t you the coy one. Thanks for the nice wishes.
Btw, you stated in an earlier post that the youth wouldn’t migrate to conservatism due to the perception of ‘hate’;
your brand of dialogue doesn’t do much to dispel that bogus claim. Tip of the day for ya, you macho cool dude you.
>> I’m sure if you keep looking, you’ll find someone who wants to talk to you.
Would that be you at #21?
I retract my courtesy.
It is also me explaining post $21 8 hours after #21 was posted.
Looking through some of your posts it seems you did that before making an account on FR.
Funny. I just can’t bring myself to be that curious about you.
Trouble makers tend to provoke curiosity.
The only trouble was you couldn’t comprehend my post. And felt disrespected when I didn’t care.
You just don’t come off as a very secure man. And your interest in me is unusual.
I politely asked you to explain what you were trying to say and you responded with smart ass and insults. Now why would anyone consider that to be disrespectful? You’re a senile jerk if you don’t get that.
You really don’t handle rejection well.
The real hook here is that I don't suffer fools well. :-)
Honestly, not sure what his/her issue is, but it comes through loud and clear.
I have zero patience for the snarky crap, we have enough problems in this country, dealing with a faceless twit is just not important, is it?!
