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.

US Senator ?
Yeah, well at least they're not waving Mexican flags and carrying posters of Hugo Chávez and Che Guevara.
True. But a communist is a communist, whether they prefer Che or Lenin or Castro makes no difference to me.

Hey! Acorn!
"And thus I clothe my naked villany
With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."
I'm sure those pom-pom's turned into little cotton balls in that temperature.
Getting a doctorate in Philosophy is a way to make sure your salary goes down. The only possible job for you is teaching philosophy, and since every philosophy instructor can turn out twenty or thirty philosophy majors a year, the job market is flooded. When people find out you have a doctorate in philosophy, they don't even want to hire you to flip burgers. It seems philosophy majors want to turn ever minor decision into some great debate.

How about sticking me on the CNP list. I'm giving up on the immig/Rep lists and need a replacement. :)
Thanks
Just because workers in other countries aren't at our standard of living yet does NOT mean they are abused, denigrated slaves. Leftists would have you believe anyone without a 401K, medical and dental insurance, full union pension and a $50,000 salary is a poor, downtrodden victim.
Pathetic.
Cuz you have a dirty mind, that's why! :P
Yeah. That's prolly it...
