I am not sure I can finish reading the article. I keep falling out of my chair laughing. The link was on Drudge. Something about a retreat being cancelled because of a banana peel in a tree. What? Environmentalists thinking they found a rare monkey? Fear it was a new terrorist weapon? Interior decorators feeling it was a bad color mix? Retreat members with a banana allergy? I repeat, “What?”
You can check it out at Campus Reform. It was none of the above. The problem was an attack of Snowflake Syndrom. Even though a student confessed to the dastardly deed, he could not find a trash can, the retreat was cancelled because the “incident made some students uneasy”.
Again I say, “What?”
It seems that this somehow became a terrifying racist incident. The article talks about “people of color” leaving in tears.
I don’t know if I have ever been to this site before but I have a feeling it is an outgrowth of The People’s Cube or The Onion. I can’t tell. I am hoping this is a tongue in cheek commentary written as Hurricane Harvey approaches. I am fearing that this is real.
What would Genghis Khan think?

I suspect it's real. Just imagine if they'd found a t_rd. Then again, they might have picked it up by the clean end and played with it.
ReplyDeleteActually I think you may have a marketing opportunity there.
