Meet Faceliss.com: Bored@Butler Goes Social

From the “Not Again” Department: Bored@Butler has internal competition.

For those of you holed up in Purgatory Butler last week for midterms, Bwog’d bet that you saved a tab in your browser for Bored@Butler (boredatbutler.com).  The site is an anonymous message board for Columbia students stuck in the library to post their thoughts.

According to WikiCU, founder Jonathan Pappas (CC ’06) wanted to see what Columbia students would say if the social filter were removed.  An easier approach would be to read Youtube comments, however; even without complete anonymity, there’s hardly a filter.

Though the site quickly hosted thousands of posts in the days after its launch in February 2006, it has since degraded into the repetitive drivel of sex-starved students.  As of the publication of this article, the current topics included general hate, the possibility of random hookups, and  Stephan‘s hair.  More telling are this week’s “best”: “Oh, I need a blowjob.  Really” and a girl reportedly giving herself a breast exam in Milstein.  Honestly, Bwog is amazed by the introspection shown by Ivy Leaguers.

You Too Could Be a Phone Sex Operator

If you’ve been a little sour on dear Alma Mater lately, an anonymous Bwog informant has just stumbled upon something to restore your faith in your degree and your Columbia.

This gal’s a CU grad — just like many of you! (Go Lions!) She majored in Anthropology. And also like many of you, she loves to just gab away on the telephone, except her telephone conversations are infinitely more lucrative and sexy (?) than yours:

“Men call me for an infinity of reasons. Of course, they call to masturbate. I call it ‘Executive Stress Relief.’ It’s not sex; it’s a cocktail of testosterone, fueled by addiction to pornography, loneliness, and the need to hear a woman’s voice.”

See? Plus, there’s hope for those of you questioning the worth of your English/Anthro/Philosophy/Comp. Lit. degree:

“I make twice the money I made in the corporate world. I work from home, the money transfers into my bank account daily. I’m Scheherezade: If I don’t tell stories that fascinate the Pasha, he will kill me in the morning.”

Ha! Hear that econ. majors? Twice the money and 100% more phone sex.
