CAMEL RELEASES CIGARETTES WITH ANTIOXIDANTS BY ABA SABABA NEWS EDITOR

WINSTON, NC—In a move that’s been widely heralded as the best thing since “ghetto booty up in your grill,” the R.J. Reynold’s subsidiary Camel has unveiled Gojiçaípomberry ciga­ rettes–a new take on the classic death stick. The cigarettes contain anti­ oxidant­rich extracts from the more popular super­fruits, including the ac­ claimed açaí and goji berries. With the product’s release coming on the heels of a milestone study published last week entitled “306 More Reasons Why Antioxidants Win,” Camel executives have high ex­ !"#$%$&'()*+',*+'-,$./0-%,$",*!,'1$)2 “Antioxidants are the future.

TKE HAS BEST RUSH TURNOUT OF ANY FRAT EVER BY COMMANDO UNITED STATES FRATERNITY CORRESPONDENT

NEW BRUNSWICK—Thanks to a recent adver­ tising campaign in The Medium, Tau Kappa Epsi­ lon has had a record number of young men turn up for rush events. This practically guarantees that their fraternity will dominate Greek life at the Uni­ versity this year. “When I saw their skillfully laid­out ad­ vertisement,” said freshmen John Pound, “I knew this fraternity was where I could go to become the man I know I can be. Forget the Army.” The sheer number of applicants has al­ lowed TKE to be particularly choosy with their crop of incoming pledges. According to chapter member Anthony Adams, nearly all of their re­ cruits have 3.5 or higher GPAs, rock Oakleys even when it’s dark, can hold their liquor like gods, and have feet that look spectacular in sandals.

Out­of­work robots resort to domestic violence BY JOHNNY CHALLENGER STAFF WRITER

DETROIT—Marriage counseling services everywhere are overwhelmed by the sheer number of domestic vio­ lence cases between robotic couples, especially among robots recently laid off by the auto industry. According to the latest crime reports provided by the Bureau of Ro­ botic Relations (BRR), instances of vi­ olence in the household and workplace between robots has risen 1,200% over the course of two years. “Robots, especially the ones with arms or lasers are becoming increasingly more violent towards friends and spouses in record num­ bers,” said Chief Robot Liaison Her­ bert Warren. “It should be seen as a sign of the tough times that we all face as Americans.” Sociologists believe that this new wave of violence is a result of the 1#G5"* "#'('>B* %(=* $.%$* -(">!5'B­ ment among robots is to blame.

I never know what to say and no matter what I do to be creative or funny, it comes off as douchey or directly paraphrased from the diary entries of some well­known pedophile. Well fuck that.

Worked for Goku, so it better work for me.

Keith St. Lawrence­ Features Editor Keith St. Lawrence is a phantasm (phasm) who was trapped inside a pipe organ, and was freed by kids. Out of gratitude he granted their wish to become their comic book heroes, the Big Bad Beetleborgs. Keith was released by play­ ing 3 notes (And later revealed that playing those same 3 notes, then playing them in reverse would again trap him inside the organ). He acts as an advisor and best friend, he offers needed >%9&#*$'*$."*G&=)*:."(*19.$&(9*$."*N-$9",)* Review, and later the Centurion. Although his magic doesn’t always work the way he would hope for it to. He is the head of the Hill­ hurst Mansion and is usually the one to keep the house monsters in check.

Reven MacQueen­ Opinions Editor Reven MacQueen is proud to extend her tenure at The Medium another year and is enthralled by her promotion to Opinions Editor. After being accepted on the prestigious staff of this publication, Reven’s idea leapt out of her mind, onto the pages of the paper, then back into the mind’s of our readers. Described as the “Next Randolph Hearst,” Reven is poised for great suc­ cess as she has just accepted a job at the New York Times as a Top Level Journalist. Fucking cunt.

Spicy Caramel­ Personals Editor Spicy Caramel is in your class, in fact, she might even be your roommate an you wouldn’t even know it. She is highly elusive and a master of disguise. This semester, she goes around dressed as a robot just to conceal her identity. In fact, last year, she was one of the brothers at the CROW house AND SHE’S A CHICK! That’s right, she’s that good. She spends her spare time writing personals about you behind your back when you act like a complete drunken douche bag (and when you’re sober too) and hiding from the Feds. No one said being on the Watch List was as cool as it sounds…

Dave Imbriaco Personals Editor Dave is the messiah of the personals page. In a previous life, he led a small group of Jews to freedom but met an untimely end in Palestine. He has since come a second time (HA!) and now instead of trying to usher in the kingdom of god, he provides wisdom and insight to the daily troubles of RU students. When asked for his feelings on his new purpose in life, he simply shook his head and said, “These dipshits are even more insane than my disciples were.”

My skin hurts just look­ ing at those orange peo­ ple. ::Peace sign and puckered lips:: The hardest part of adjust­ ing to college is having to make a masturbating schedule around when your roommate comes and goes.

Grow a pair , if you’re afraid of Drew Carey and fatass’ you probably spend your time hid­ ing in your room. (First of all, fuck you for calling this a “lack luster” publication. Second, be­ ing immoralized here gen­ erally isn’t a good thing...) To the girl in my math class: Shut the fuck up and let other people in the class answer a question when they asked for help you dumb bitch. It drives me insane to know that I have to breath the same air as you for the next 3 months. To all the Mexican moth­ ers constantly crossing the street with their baby carriages at the most dan­ gerous and inopportune moments. Have you no fucking concern for lives of your children!? The next time I see you crossing in front of me I won’t hit the brakes To the insane blonde whore­ bag who I always see at par­ ties and asks me to make fun of her: here, are you happy now?

Fuck you for the shitty internet, re­ sulting in the lack of quality porn or youtube videos, for having 6 god damn chan­ nels on the tv, for the shitty hotel busses, and for ru­ ining my life in gen­ eral. You should bend down right now and pay me the $1400 more that I had to spend to live in this shit hole to fuck you in the ass and then burn your house down. FUCK YOU! To the sluts who live direct­ ly below us: We are terribly sorry that our “rough and raunchy gay sex” has disturbed your hol­ lowed out cunt of an existence.

Dear SamyBrothers, after realizing that the major­ ity of your brotherhood was comprised of those of the hebrew faith, i was sent into a long period of self hatred and loathing.

I hope you guys all go no where in life. fuck you assholes to the dog poop that was on LX today. how did you get there? Did someone bring a dog on the bus, and than let it poop? Did this guy just bring poop on the bus and leave it there? So many ques­ tions are arising from these logs of poop. To the smelly looking hip­ py who rides around cam­ pus on the golden scooter in baggy cargo pants: you sir fucking fail at life. (Come on man, all hip­ pes smell like shit and fail at life. That’s why they’re hippies! See also hipsters.) Don’t knock the applesauce out of the fridge, asshole. The Red Lion always smells like french fucking frites. It?s a lounge not a damn cafeteria! They act so pomp­ ous with their 700 dipping sauces. I don?t give a shit, all you need is one. KETCH­ UP. So stop smelling up the joint with your BULLSHIT. (That shit is MAD overpriced too.)
