The Bwog
Law Students Make Choices They Will Eventually Regret
Previous Post | Next Post

Tipster/photographer Matt Shields directs Bwog's attention to the South Lawn, where law schoolers are staging a mock hunger strike protesting the ban on drinking in the Black Box theater. They're calling themselves PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Alcoholics) and according to their colorful, upbeat propaganda, they "will not eat until they can drink—on stage." (The third protester holds a sign that inexplicably proclaims "We're not gonna protest.") And look, they even have a tent and a guitar... just like real activist-types!

"We're not going to protest" is the infamous chant from the classic film "PCU", starring Jeremy Piven.

Indeed it is. A classic film, featuring David Spade as the insidious head of the Young Republicans.

I think it's "law revue appropriated my amp," though it could well be "law revue approved my app."

Given Columbia Law's standing as a pretty awesome law school, I doubt they'd let the law revue approve anyone's app, though if I got in I'd totally be on south lawn, screaming "remember us?!? we're the law school!!! we actually matter too!"

seriously; future-lawyers, hey! come out and say hi! we won't begrudge you studying on the steps!

there's no way that says 'annexed.' however I wouldn't trust my judgment as I thought it said "law revue approved my art"

you law idiots should do something that will actually make a difference, like decriminalizing marijuana in this damn country.

seriously, LEGALIZE IT

we are wasting money enforcing stupid laws. have you ever heard of a guy robbing a bank for weed money or coming home high and beating his wife and tearing his family apart because he couldn't cut his addiction? didn't think so.

also, what's with that stupid commercial where that girl is talking to her "chica" on a cell phone and is like "oh no i was so high last night i can't believe that embarrassing picture taken of me is going around"? i'd be curious to see that photo. i somehow doubt it's her like taking off her clothes and giving a guy a lap dance. more likely to be her watching tv and gorging on cheetos with orange all over her fingers.
