One of the hallowed traditions of our Ivy brethren has come to an end. Yale coordinators have cancelled future Safety Dances after paramedics transported 8 students to hospitals in the aftermath of the annual event. (Yale Daily News)
New traditions are only beginning at Cornell, though, as a pornographic video shot in its engineering library recently surfaced. No comment on if Butler Library has officially started shooting its own in response. (IvyGate)
Meanwhile, Suzie the poodle rode 11 miles in the grille of a Toyota before she was rescued. With only a mild concussion and a missing tooth, Suzie sustained minimal injuries. (Boston Herald)
Finally, we thought that Bwog commenters would like to know that researchers from Columbia and the University of Pittsburgh concluded that internet anonymity inflates our self-confidence and promotes aggression. (WSJ)

@I know a place in Butler Stacks on the 8 th floor after 10 pm. I lost myself on that floor and had multiple escapades, but forgot to make a film,….Go freshmen the baton has been passed 2 u guys…
@Ugh Not sure I thought the jokey comparison you’re drawing between the porn actress and a “bitch” was particularly funny, but I’m glad to know Bwog deems it acceptable to slut-shame.
Keep on stigmatizin’, y’all.
@2014 yeah I found that weirdly uncomfortable, too. I’m not as angry as you but a little weirded out.
@CC'13 yeah, this definitely gave me a moment of pause. bwog’s humor used to be funny, edgy, and all-encompassing, like all of campus could be in on the joke. recently it’s been really combative and mean. and the more i think about it, it’s jokes like this one that contribute, even in a small way, to the way we talk about women and women’s issues.
way to be part of the problem, bwog!
@seriously what were you thinking, bwog?!
@Yup The “another bitch” made me cringe.
@Alex I apologize for the unfortunate choice of word. We in no way wish to shame actresses featured in pornographic videos filmed in university libraries.
@wow what a snarky response–i expected better from the editor of a student publication. no woman should be called a bitch, period.
@Snarky You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
@seriously bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks. it’s a colloquialism
@Anon I’m gonna break these cuffs!
@Anonymous You can’t break those cuffs!
@Dam it people Don’t film yourself doing sexual things or, at the very least don’t film your face. Relationships more often then not crash and burn and your dirty pics you sent to you ex will be on the internet. Hell, if that’s really your thing, most editing programs have face detection for automatic blurring or you can use a mask. Don’t text each other pictures of yourself use words. Assume you are being recorded on those webcam sex sites. Don’t ruin your careers over this, yes, it sucks society looks down on being in a porn film, but it does. And it’s game over if google develops search via face recognition.
@Anonymous dude she’s a porn star.
@actually watched the video no, just a cam girl (no dispersions on cam girls; love that amateur stuff)
@Anonymous nope, porn star. read comments under the link on ezrahub
