Happening right now, a vigil at the sundial for the people of Gaza. About ten students are currently gathered with candles wrapped in tinfoil at the Students for Justice in the Middle East and Arab Student Association-sponsored event.
“We’re trying to show solidarity with the people of Gaza,” said Jake Matilsky, GS ’09 and member of Students for Justice in the Middle East. Matilsky characterized the event as dealing with a “humanitarian issue,” explaining that “when children can’t get food that’s all of our responsibility.”
The vigil is expected to last for at least another half an hour.

@off topic so it would have been OK had i just linked to the image itself rather than the web page? for example:

@well... that image is apparently forbidden.
@promotional? Strange description. XKCD is not a commercial website. If the commenter had a better sense of timing, though, they would have waited until a flame war had begun.
The vigil got a little bigger around 8. Maybe 20, 25 people.
@off topic this is the link i originally posted in comment #1:

i’m not sure why it was deleted… it isn’t offensive… sure, it’s off-topic, but since when does bwog delete comments that are off-topic?
@hmm someone must read digg
@Juli The comment was deleted because it was an advertisement for another website that has nothing to do with the topic of the post.
It’s Bwog policy to delete promotional comments.
@jss2130 now i am really curious what that asshole had to say…
@Ha! Smacked down.
