Its heroes were drunks and slobs and Peeping Toms; its villains were teachers and cheerleaders and anybody who was or would ever be grown up.

The writer doesn't get it; doesn't understand what sets this apart from Porky's or American Pie.

The members of Delta House DID grow up to be respectable members of society when they graduated (remember the "where are they now updates at the end"?). One of the writers talked about his own experiences and discussed how these people would cut loose (there were all sorts of "true" stories that would have been to over the top for a Universal film in 1978; it would have been more along the lines of one of John Waters' movies). They cut loose in college but then moved into adult society and settled down. These weren't overgrown teenagers.

The Deltas didn't rebel against society itself. Playboy was the "high life". Wearing a suit didn't make you a "square". This wasn't "the slobs vs. the snobs". That was Caddyshack.

I may read more of the article for laughs but the premise was wrong. I don't think I'll find much substance inside.

As opposed to Niedermayer who was "killed by own troops in Vietnam" and Marmalard who was a Nixon aide who got raped in prison. And I was crushed that Boon and Katy got divorced.

Having watched the "where are they now? feature on the new CD.....I'd say they did. >:o
