Columbia College (Perhaps) Abuses its Photoshop Privileges

Bwog operative and newly-minted alum Zach van Schouwen noticed something a bit uncanny when visiting the College's homepage. The following photo, aside from giving the false impression that the 9 train is still running, which it is not, pictures the subway entrance as a grandiose marble affair, which it is not. (See below for visual confirmation and here for a larger shot.) ZvS also found insurmountable evidence something that might lead us to believe in the subway's Photoshoppage in the form of what appears to be a 1 and 9 symbol that float in midair behind the entrance, as well as JPG jaggies around the white-on-black text. We just hope the class of 2012 isn't too heartbroken when they find out what the subway entrance really looks like. The blood is on your hands, Columbia College.


(Reality is pictured at right.)

UPDATE: Some things we've learned:

  • The movie poster on the background on the College's subway is for Bait, which came out on September 15th, 2000.
  • Also, noticed how the One sign in the background hangs off into oblivion. (There is no black background surrounding the left edge of the red circular "one.")

Stay tuned, as we unearth this mystery.


Fire Alarm Interrupts Finals

Tipster Daniel Tyner-Bryan is reporting that just a few moments ago, the fire alarm started going off in Hamilton, thereby interrupting finals and forcing all the students, teachers, and bluebooks onto the lawn outside. Stand by for updates/photos and tip us (bwog@columbia.edu) if you have any.

UPDATE 7:31 PM: Tipster Srijata Chattopadhyay informs us that the fire alarm was triggered by a trashcan fire on the third floor women's bathroom.
