Hey there,
I saw your signs you put up to welcome the students back to Ohio University. Really funny stuff. Fresh, too! Very fresh comedy, putting up the same uninspired, sexist jokes year after year.
(For those with the fortune to have not seen these signs in person or posted online, I don't want to dignify them by reprinting the words. They were beyond the pale, suffice to say.)
Before you roll your eyes, don't confuse me for an old man yelling at clouds. I'm 25 years old and usually try not to play the role of overzealous culture warrior. You might say I'm hawkish about the reaches of the First Amendment. I am not here to wage a battle political correctness; I like comedy that pushes the envelope. George Carlin is a personal favorite.
But you guys aren't comedic. You don't push any envelopes and you're not even particularly clever. You people make a mockery of your community, your entire campus and, sadly, your generation. When people were posting online about these signs, they weren't referencing you individually:
