    When is PG too much?

    Today I was notified by my alma-mater Penn State that it is hosting a contest for free football tickets on Facebook. Hey, free is free and I have a really great story I wanted to share so I indulged in their transparent ‘online marketing’ stunt.
     
    The rules state:
    Just go to the Penn State Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pennstate and post your most memorable Penn State football moment.
    And that’s exactly what I did. Here’s what I submitted:
    At the Indiana home game in 2002 I was sitting in the student section frothing in what I would call a typical level ‘yellow’ rage when one of the Indiana’s defensive backs got hurt bad enough to stop the game. While the rest of the 100,000+ stadium sat in respective silence as the medics tended to the obviously injured athlete I went into the ‘red’ zone. This monster I mutate into must be part shark because sensing there was blood on the field, literal and figurative, got me so worked up I went into a frenzy. With a deafeningly silent stadium praying, reflecting or sending general good vibes to the visiting student I stood on top of my seat and screamed “WHAT’S THE MATTER, DID YA HURT YOUR VAGINA?” Until that moment I had never really seen ‘utter disgust’ in a person’s face, especially not directed at me, but after that moment of ‘fan-turrets’ I turned around to see the entire student section shaking their heads in disbelief. From somewhere in the sea of white I heard “Dude, too muc”.

    Then I went back and re-read the contest:

    Just go to the Penn State Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pennstate and post your most memorable Penn State football moment. Keep it “G-rated” and sober, please. (Inappropriate posts will be disqualified and deleted.)

    Whoops … well that’s OK surely the mere mention of the word “Vagina” isn’t enough to bump my entry into the PG ratings and out of the contest, right? PSU, the number one party school in the United States, couldn’t possibly be offended by the only word to ryhme with ‘angina’ could they? Wrong. Five minutes later it was taken down. I guess that’s what I get for not joining the stupid Alumni Group.
