You guys have awakened in my mind with your hideous tales a story which has been dormant for a long time, like an Eldritch horror squirreled away in my subconcious, venomously dreaming.

Am I the only one who feels let down by that video?

I'm so oblivious I look at an empty train during rush hour and say "SCORE"! instead of using my brain to wonder WHY that particular train is empty. It's poop. It's ALWAYS poop. Sometimes its fresh poop, sometimes its stale poop, sometimes the poopertrator is still there. But its always, always poop.

Well, yes. I just didn't catch onto the EI reference at first.

What I hate most about this video (and I've heard a lot of related comments, but haven't seen it spelled out yet) is the implication that wealth is an indicator of your value as a human being. According to this video, the sweet, smart kids who get bullied are vindicated by lucrative careers and fat paychecks, and the…

This is so sweet. This guy looked like he needed some good news in his life.

EXACTLY.

Like 'Affluenza kid', they're too rich and too high-class for jail. It would be inappropriate for the justice system to treat these... upstanding young gentlemen as potential criminals.

Here are a few more articles about how instances of sexual assault increased after 2011 when the grant was turned down.

EI was a place that seemed to attract less privileged men than the other frats, men who picked up freshman girls from parking garages in several-year-old BMW's rather than brand new ones.

Epsilon Iota is a nonfrat (or fauxternity, if you will)

I also just want to point out that when I was graduating in 2011, the administration turned down a VAWA grant worth $300k to prevent sexual assault. Gail Hanson, the VP of Campus Life stated her reasons here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/american…

it's so fucking weird to me that american universities are essentially boarding schools where the administration is supposed to be involved in all aspects of the child's - ahem, I mean, adult student's - life. These are adults we're taking about, i don't understand why the university should bear the primary…

Great article Erin but you could have just said that they suffered from mass affluenza and will end up in cushy finance and law jobs or terrorizing their employees as middle-managers at their parents' companies.

What really struck me was how scared most students I spoke with were to have their names publicly attached to statements against EI. There's fratty obnoxious behavior and then there's straight up intimidation.

where I completely lost interest in a Mad Max game.

It's also a lie. Take it from someone who represents bullied and harassed workers; the bosses who bully were bullies in when they were growing up too. The kind of psychopath who takes pleasure making other peoples' lives miserable were never bullied themselves.

American narrator? West Coast Customs? This is post apocalyptic Australian outback all right.

It simply means it's a 'Versus' edition of Gundam.

Isn't the point of the joke that nobody's living conditions could be as awful as the victims'? And therefore, isn't that why it is funny - because there is no possible way it is true? Thus, wouldn't the joke serve as a reminder of the plight of the victims? The only way it would be offensive would be if she were…
