Worse than a MU/Loyola Billboard...

What about Boston?   






double entendre for sure

That actually might be a triple entendre.

That actually might be a triple entendre.

But is it a Triple Lindy

[warriorchick]

Yeah, that level of maturity isn't going to take them real far in life.

Seems to be working for at least some of you guys.....

Is it because of or in spite of?

Let's hope it's in spite of.

My frosh year, I lived at OD, came back for second semester, and was walking from 2SE through 2NW corridor to get my mail. A sign was up that said "Welcome Back Guys!". A day later, someone added an "L", and it then said "Welcome Black Guys". I found it pretty funny (I don't know if that's wrong or not, feel free to judge).

I laughed just now reading it so 18 year old you definitely shouldn't have felt bad. Also 18 year old skitch would have probably just changed the u in guys to an a and thought he was hilarious.

Personally, I favor a slice of pie.

[GooooMarquette]

Would it be a quadruple entendre for banana cream pie?

One of these days I'm going to have to try the Norske Nook. I've heard so much about it.

When a man craves the tart tang of well crafted fruit pie there is no finer haven than "The Nook."

Some prefer the evening pie, but there is something to be said for afternoon lingonberry.  I'll leave it at that.

Afternoon delight, hey?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what these kids did. This is an excellent Double Entendre. I think the Chancellor should never have gotten involved. People need to lighten up.

I believe society has a way to deal with this without all the added attention.  Would I be going out on a limb saying a majority(probably a large magority) believe the sign to be in poor taste.  Well, the backlash will take care of it. Note the strong presence of those who didn't find it amusing. If I were dropping off my daughter on her first day with that kind of "welcome" I would have gone straight to the apartment to "introduce" myself.  Hopefully it will be a teaching moment for the authors and any others who think this was a good idea. if they didn't get the "memo" by now, then,unfortunately(very) we may see one or more of these fellas with a series of photos holding a number in front of them.  The sad part about that is, usually there is a victim as well.  Hopefully, it doesn't get to that point.  Talk about "feeling safe" ??  Yikes!!

I think both of these are creative and funny.  The sad part is, there will be a group (large or small) that will piss all over this one and turn it into some kind of crime.  We've lost the ability to laugh a little b/c of the vocal minority and those who just don't want to get involved

I'm still struggling to understand how a couple of frat morons acting moronically allegedly contributes to a "rape culture"... if anything, it's completely the opposite: consider for a moment that these buffoons were actually being serious... they were - intentionally or not - making their intentions known, so unless a freshman girl (or guy) honestly goes over there thinking that they're going to receive a literal slice of a literal custard-based filling in a literal pastry shell, well then caveat emptor.  You can't walk into a swingers club and scream rape the second someone comes on [to] you.

If they weren't being serious and just trying to be cute (most likely, these guys wouldn't know what to do with a woman in their dorm room anyway)... does anyone believe that someone is going to go out and rape someone just because they happened to see this banner?

The only legitimate rationale I can see here is that if a passive copulant (i.e. the female or "brownie queen", as the case may be) consents to sex strictly on the condition of condom usage yet the other copulant (i.e. the male or "brownie king") deliberately does not use a condom, then arguably, with conditions not met the intercourse would be non-consensual and therefore considered rape (or at least sexual assault).  So I suppose cream pieing could be contributing to a rape culture... but I would think it's safe to presume that these days, the condom usage rate is pretty high already - whether required by consent or not - and no banner or advertisement is going to change that.

Again, these guys are your bottom-of-the-barrel idiots, but whoever made this issue go viral are right on par.

The operating theory is that this type of open language/suggestion generates an environment where harassment are more acceptable and within that environment sexual aggressiveness, assault, and/or rape become more "permissive" in the eyes of those who might be prone to perpetrate such things.

Well then shame on UW-L for admitting people who are prone to perpetrating such things.  Here's a thought.... make an effort to enroll guys who aren't so rapey.  Let all the rapeys go to Notre Dame where - apparently - there aren't any laws against rape (at least laws that can be enforced anyway).
