better than a Red Stripe at night is a blueberry muffin in the morning.

Why should juicy campus be banned? I've seen comments on Bwog, IvyGate, and Bored@Butler that are just as offensive and mean-spirited as some of the stuff on juicy campus.

JuicyCampus has had a Columbia section filled with nasty comments for months now, but it used to be just athletes and frat boys making fun of each other. The site only came under a lot of scrutiny once CCSC and ESC names started coming up (though many of them are involved in Greek life too).

That being said, censoring the Internet is asinine and counterproductive.

It's ridiculous that the council thinks it has the right to decide what websites students can and cannot access. That isn't their job.
