CAMEL RELEASES CIGARETTES WITH ANTIOXIDANTS

BY ABA SABABA NEWS EDITOR

WINSTON, NC—In a move that’s been widely heralded as the best thing since “ghetto booty up in your grill,” the R.J. Reynold’s subsidiary Camel has unveiled Gojiçaípomberry ciga­ rettes–a new take on the classic death stick.

The cigarettes contain anti­ oxidant­rich extracts from the more popular super­fruits, including the ac­ claimed açaí and goji berries.

With the product’s release coming on the heels of a milestone study published last week entitled “306 More Reasons Why Antioxidants Win,” Camel executives have high ex­ !"#$%$&'()*+',*+'-,$./0-%,$",*!,'1$)2

TKE HAS BEST RUSH TURNOUT OF ANY FRAT EVER

BY COMMANDO UNITED STATES FRATERNITY CORRESPONDENT

NEW BRUNSWICK—Thanks to a recent adver­ tising campaign in The Medium, Tau Kappa Epsi­ lon has had a record number of young men turn up for rush events. This practically guarantees that their fraternity will dominate Greek life at the Uni­ versity this year.

“When I saw their skillfully laid­out ad­ vertisement,” said freshmen John Pound, “I knew this fraternity was where I could go to become the man I know I can be. Forget the Army.”

The sheer number of applicants has al­ lowed TKE to be particularly choosy with their crop of incoming pledges. According to chapter member Anthony Adams, nearly all of their re­ cruits have 3.5 or higher GPAs, rock Oakleys even when it’s dark, can hold their liquor like gods, and have feet that look spectacular in sandals.

Out­of­work robots resort to domestic violence

BY JOHNNY CHALLENGER STAFF WRITER

DETROIT—Marriage counseling services everywhere are overwhelmed by the sheer number of domestic vio­ lence cases between robotic couples, especially among robots recently laid off by the auto industry.

According to the latest crime reports provided by the Bureau of Ro­ botic Relations (BRR), instances of vi­ olence in the household and workplace between robots has risen 1,200% over the course of two years.

“Robots, especially the ones with arms or lasers are becoming increasingly more violent towards friends and spouses in record num­ bers,” said Chief Robot Liaison Her­ bert Warren. “It should be seen as a sign of the tough times that we all face as Americans.”

Sociologists believe that this new wave of violence is a result of the 1#G5"* "#'('>B* %(=* $.%$* -(">!5'B­ ment among robots is to blame.

suspending the rest without vacation.

“These displaced automatons do not have any experience with un­ employment or any other skills outside of their respective job on the assembly line,” explained Penn State Sociology Professor Bob Howard.

Other industries are starting to feel the pinch. Anti­virus health clinics have had few paying customers lately, and merchants everywhere are report­ ing a severe decrease in gigabyte RAM upgrades as more and more robots face -(#",$%&(*1(%(#&%5*+-$-,")2

Said Howard, “These work­ ers have no money, no livelihoods. Al­ cohol and WD­40 are used as coping mechanisms and naturally, the combi­ nation of the two results in terrible, ter­ rible things.”

According to research done

by Howard, robots “hopped up on the forty” are twice as likely to reactivate themselves and engage in violence against their robot wives or children.

Out of gratitude he granted their wish to become their comic book heroes, the Big Bad Beetleborgs.

She spends her spare time writing personals about you behind your back when you act like a complete drunken douche bag (and when you’re sober too) and hiding from the Feds.

No matter how many times you show him the back of your throat he will not let you give him a bj.

However, ill let you give me a hummer in the back of class if it will shut you up.

Voorhees 3 would like to thank the bitch brunette RA for constantly writing us up for noise complaints, even though were silent during all hours of the day. When we see you on your little fuck­ ing bike, we instantly think of the wicked witch of the west from The Wizard of Oz.

I hope your love ends in misery & STDs...I miss my boyfriend...

(We laughed for a good 5 minutes at this one. My guess is your relation­ ship ended in misery and STDs, am I right?)

My skin hurts just look­ ing at those orange peo­ ple. ::Peace sign and puckered lips:: The hardest part of adjust­ ing to college is having to make a masturbating schedule around when your roommate comes and goes.

I just realized that I have a class with a prof. that sounds like Dr. Nick from the S i m p s o n s .

To the bitch on my quad, NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SKINNY ASS stop strutting around with that stupid bitch smile on your face like you’re the best looking girl in the whole fucking world.

Your superiority complex annoys the shit out of me.

Wear your asshat some­ where else. And to the other bitch, that I dunno where the fuck you live...I HATE YOU AND YOUR STU­ PID FACE Good day.

O'* $."* 9-BV9&,5V$,%((B* :.'* send a personal in last week about two guys who can recite commercials “word for word,” Thank You. I have now been immortalized in this lack luster publication. Sor­ ry about that I was being a loud asshole with those commercials. You must re­ ally be a pussy though to be afraid to tell us to shut up or be quiet. Grow a pair , if you’re afraid of Drew Carey and fatass’ you probably spend your time hid­ ing in your room.

(First of all, fuck you for calling this a “lack luster” publication. Second, be­ ing immoralized here gen­ erally isn’t a good thing...)

To the girl in my math class: Shut the fuck up and let other people in the class answer a question when they asked for help you dumb bitch. It drives me insane to know that I have to breath the same air as you for the next 3 months.

To all the Mexican moth­ ers constantly crossing the street with their baby carriages at the most dan­ gerous and inopportune moments. Have you no fucking concern for lives of your children!?

The next time I see you crossing in front of me I won’t hit the brakes To the insane blonde whore­ bag who I always see at par­ ties and asks me to make fun of her: here, are you happy now? Now close your god damn legs for once so I don’t have to smell the withering, rotting thing you call a twat

to the new SDT pledges, all of you are ugly skanks. a pledge told me you had to untag your party pic­ tures because your a classy sorority..right......

(Dude, there’s no such thing as a “Classy sorority”. Ei­ ther they’re hideous cows !"#$%&'(#)'!"*+,#*-&'*"#).(/# my dick goes no where near them for fear of AIDS.) $'* $."* +%9)* '+* W(=* D'',* metzger, NO ONE will join the frat you cre­ ated! your group consist of an ex­300 lbs nerd, an indian, a retarted look­ ing kid, poor creepy twins, and an acne covered kid! so STOP posting statuses for people to contact you!

(Are they from Sammy by any chance? Su­ per fail if they are.) to the fat bitch across from me eyeing my sandwich in alexander library, no i am not going to give you half so stop staring!

(Hey, fat bitches need lovin’ too, just not from me!)

To whoever’s fucking idea it was to shove students into the piece of shit known as the Crowne Plaza. Fuck you for the shitty internet, re­ sulting in the lack of quality porn or youtube videos, for having 6 god damn chan­ nels on the tv, for the shitty hotel busses, and for ru­ ining my life in gen­ eral. You should bend down right now and pay me the $1400 more that I had to spend to live in this shit hole to fuck you in the ass and then burn your house down. FUCK YOU! To the sluts who live direct­ ly below us: We are terribly sorry that our “rough and raunchy gay sex” has disturbed your hol­ lowed out cunt of an existence. Next time one of my roommates asks me for a reach around i will be sure to think of you skanks and make sure i chain %(=* 9%9* .&>* 1,)$2* * Q"C$* time you need a little quiet time for a little two G(-#G5"*).-+D"*%55*B'-*(""=* to do is ask.

If your reading I miss you =D (Probably sucking someone else’s cock.)

To the emt i saw at the How­ ard game last week in the stu­ dent section with the blonde surfer hair. I want to do nas­ ty shit to you things you’ve never fucking dreamed about. I’ll be in the same spot you helped that kid last week. You were so strong and compassionate.

Dear SamyBrothers, after realizing that the major­ ity of your brotherhood was comprised of those of the hebrew faith, i was sent into a long period of self hatred and loathing. I emerged from this period having rejected my jewish faith and am now a member of the white supremacy movment.

I hope you guys all go no where in life. fuck you assholes to the dog poop that was on LX today. how did you get there? Did someone bring a dog on the bus, and than let it poop? Did this guy just bring poop on the bus and leave it there? So many ques­ tions are arising from these logs of poop.

To the smelly looking hip­ py who rides around cam­ pus on the golden scooter in baggy cargo pants: you sir fucking fail at life.

(Come on man, all hip­ pes smell like shit and fail at life. That’s why they’re hippies! See also hipsters.)

Don’t knock the applesauce out of the fridge, asshole.

The Red Lion always smells like french fucking frites.

It?s a lounge not a damn cafeteria! They act so pomp­ ous with their 700 dipping sauces. I don?t give a shit, all you need is one. KETCH­ UP. So stop smelling up the joint with your BULLSHIT. (That shit is MAD overpriced too.)
