Now Concluding “Hopeless Embarrassment” Week at Princeton
Having already checked “most intensely elitist document ever to grace the Ivy League” off its to-do list, Princeton now brings you “douchiest party flier this side of the Milky Way.” Spotted on campus: A flier promoting a Linkin Park concert at Princeton’s Cottage Club. (click to enlarge)
Now, the event alone would constitute a fearsome level of douchebaggery. (If you don’t understand why, may we suggest watching this cache of Dragon Ball Z clips set to Linkin Park music, followed by this video of Princeton kids dancing.) But, did they really substitute crucifixes for the t’s? And are those really lacrosse sticks bedazzling the bottom corners? On any other week we’d give them the benefit of the doubt— there must be some level of self awareness to this, right? self-loathing irony? clipartsy joke?— but between this week’s hopelessly pathetic student elections and other tragic losses, we’ve lost all faith in the Princeton Man and his ability to do, well, anything without falling all over himself.
UPDATE: It was a prank! Hallelujah, there’s hope for Princeton after all, so long as someone forcibly removed from campus all the sad kids who actually attempted to attend this concert, at the sad eating club where such a prank is actually feasible. Princeton, you continue to be a farcical embarrassment, in all the right and most delighted ways.
