“Pullout” Method Fails at Yale’s “Sex Week”

On Saturday night, as part of a pornography-themed day, Sex Week at Yale held a porn screening in the Law School auditorium. The featured pornography was a series of trailer-type clips, chosen by director Paul Thomas from among his own films.

The Sex Week team, however, didn’t preview all the footage Thomas chose. This is why, partway through the showing, graphic rape fantasies began to play onscreen. <Full Story>

Exchange Student Starved While in Egypt

Jonathan McCullum was in perfect health at 155 pounds when he left last summer to spend the school year as an exchange student in Egypt. But when he returned home to Maine just four months later, the 5-foot-9 teenager weighed a mere 97 pounds and was so weak that he struggled to carry his baggage or climb a flight of stairs. Doctors said McCullum was at serious risk for a heart attack.

McCullum says he was denied sufficient food while staying with a family of Coptic Christians, who fast for more than 200 days a year, a regimen unmatched by other Christians. But he does not view the experience as a culture clash. Rather, he said, it reflected mean and stingy treatment by his host family, whose broken English made it difficult to communicate. <Full Story>

The RIAA War on Ohio U. – one year later

As the recording industry’s nationwide legal battle against college music sharers enters its second year, Ohio University — once ground zero in that campaign — is no longer under fire.

Identified last February by the recording industry as the recipient of more music sharing complaints than any other university, OU shelled out more than $75,000 last summer for a device that scans data crisscrossing its network for copyrighted media. <Full Story>

Students at U of Nevada Turn to Pepper Spray, Stun Guns

One week after Brianna Denison disappeared, the culture at the University of Nevada, Reno changed. Groups of women walk together at night, instead of individually with iPods. Self-defense classes draw dozens of people. And, more contentiously, 22-year-old political science major Kimberly Ramirez isn’t the only one sporting a 950,000-volt Firefly stun gun and a can of pepper spray. <Full Story>

Facebook Updates “Friend” Section

When Facebook first launched in February 2004, there were three important things that you could do on the site. You could create a profile with your picture and information, view other people’s profiles, and add people as friends. The site also featured ugly dotted borders and strangely aligned labels. Back then, the site was only available at Harvard, so “friends” was really something more like “friends currently attending Harvard.”

Pretty soon, more schools were added. So “friends” became “friends at some colleges.” Later, we added support for alumni email addresses and high schools, so “friends” became “friends that have something to do with some kind of school.” After we had those up and running, we bought a bunch more servers, opened Facebook up to the world, and learned that buying servers is easier than finding a nice place to keep them what we refer to as, “not-on-fire.”

Today Facebook lets us connect and communicate with people that we are connected to in all kinds of ways — friends from school, family members, long-lost high school sweethearts of yesteryear, and weird people. They’re all here.

This all begs the question… what does being friends with someone on Facebook mean today? We pondered this for a while, played some Bogglific, lathered, rinsed, repeated, and then decided that there just wasn’t any single right answer. Read more

COED Guide to Shaving

If you still haven’t got the hang of stroking your palms against a smooth cheek each morning, you probably still have a lot to learn, old boy. Take a look at these shaving tips to get the smooth finish.

1. Avoid shaving first thing in the morning. Your face would still be puffy due to the fluids that collect in your face tissues over a night’s sleep, and the perfect shave would be hard to get.
2. Stubble should be wetted with warm or hot water before shaving. This swells the hair shaft allowing the blade to cut the hair, not your skin.
3. Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is responsible for many shaving cuts as it drags over your face and catches your skin along with the hair of your beard.
4. Thoroughly massage shave cream into stubble. A vitamin and Aloe Vera based shave cream will provide a close soothing shave and protect against razor rashes and burns.
5. Rinse the blade often in hot water when shaving and use slow short strokes. Take your time.
6. Shaving with grain means shaving in the direction of how the hair grows on your face. It is always best to shave this way. Shaving against the grain can cause redness, rashes, razor burn and ingrown hairs, which are all painful. Read more

Are You a Slut?

Slut. What a nasty word. You often hear it on college campuses. But in today’s sexually liberated atmosphere (read: pro-sex), the true meaning has become all but obsolete. Is being a slut really about a number or an attitude?

Dictionary.com describes a slut as, duh, ‘a woman who is sexually promiscuous.’ That’s a pretty vague description, considering that ‘promiscuous’ can be achieved with ill-advised hook-ups during a freshman year. With such a negative connotation, ‘slut’ usually doesn’t show up between ‘spontaneous’ and ‘liberal’ on online profiles. Read more
