...would've impressed me if they did it on a rainy windy day

As Ben Brewer expressed his disapproval of Penn State's link to sweatshops, his jockstrap was just as effective as the protest signs and rally chants.
With only a set of pom-poms tucked inside the front of his jockstrap, Brewer (junior-philosophy) demonstrated alongside 20 other students yesterday, most of them also minimally dressed.
"The theme is 'nothing to wear' -- mostly because we would really like to wear Penn State clothing, but we are not given that option by administrators," Theresa Haas (senior-biology) said as she held a well-placed rally poster over her Saran-wrapped chest. "It may seem very radical and extreme, but conditions in sweatshops are extreme, too."
The event stemmed from concern regarding the university's involvement with apparel companies that use sweatshop labor to produce trademarked Penn State gear, Haas added.
Beginning at noon yesterday, the band of protesters marched through the HUB-Robeson Center, drawing smiles and stares from lunching onlookers.
"I thought it was a little excessive," Andrew Vanloon (freshman-finance) said as he glanced over a flier handed to him by a demonstrator. "I think people would bitch more if prices [of apparel] went up."
With most participants wearing nude-colored underwear and homemade signs strategically concealing private areas, the group walked from Pollock Road to the Pattee Library mall before pausing in front of Old Main.

To quote one of the candidates on Donald Trump's "Apprentice": I wish her brains were as big as her boobs."

You bet Ben, a hairy butt will do it every time.
Is that what the kids are calling them these days?

Embarrassed by my Alma Mater, again.
"Kids, we hear you. You are right, it is distasteful for us to sell you this sportsware at third-world prices. We will now purchase entirely American, Union-made sportware. This in mind, each of you will now be required to purchase a $100 sports jersey, two sets of $200 exercise shorts, and a University-logo branded sweatband for $50 before participating in any University-sponsored athletic program this year. Congratulations!
"Oh, yes. And Delta House is on triple-secret probation until further notice. You know why!"
The parents must be so proud of them.
Would have impressed me if they didn't take a picture of Chelsea Clinton's twin.
Idiot dude apparently doesn't know how to use the camera in his cell phone.
Ping
Well, we have several copies of that one. Oh well....
Her parents have got to be proud of her today...
Students of yours?
A philosophy major. What a surprise!
Hey Mr. Haas...I'm sending a picture for you to frame.
That would still cause some major shrinkage, wouldn't it? Not a proud moment to be trotting around in your skivvies.
And oh, yeah, bet people were shocked on a large college campus to see not-naked people. The only surprise was it isn't pledge week.
