That is the most QUasi strangE Event Recorded and shown to the public. Why??? What is to be gained? Nolan Smith and Andre Dawkins are going to never hear end of this--and let's be honest--they shouldn't. When Duke comes to DC for the game this year--the minute those two get into the game--the Titanic "theme" should be played. "Dre---want you to draw me in my ICE--and ONLY MY ICE"  Just imagine how it'll go when they travel to Chapel Hill. ;D |

That is just epically atrocious. I mean, I know there were some mixed feelings about the Georgetown MM video, but let's all thank whatever God we pray to that the Hoyas had better sense (and taste) than to go down this road.
The Titanic debacle speaks for itself, but the rest are all horrible too, let's not forget. Wojo might be the least intimidating person to play a "Don" on the face of the planet. I don't know, maybe that guy who wanted everyone to "leave Britney Spears alone" might be less intimidating, but that's about it. The Gladiator bit was just plain embarrassing and the Austin Powers was about as trite and hackneyed as humanly possible.
I want those three minutes of my life back.

I'd also like to say if you want to be covering cinematic themes--the scene with Kelly and Plumlees should've been from REVENGE OF THE NERDS or II--NERDS IN PARADISE. It's actually type casting if those dweebs ran through a dorm yelling "Panty Raid".
Nolan Smith and Andre Dawkins--that was maybe the most awkward thing I've seen and nothing was funny in entire segment--except fact they not only thought it was funny--they showed this to prospective recruits and let country see it as well.

I hate Duke but I have to admit the Titanic one was pretty funny.
The rest of them were just not entertaining because many of the chosen actors appear to have zero charisma whatsoever.

The funny thing is the duke posters totally do not see the issue with these sketches.
I expected to find them split half embarrassed half defending it. but 100% they're totally oblivious to how embarrassing this is.

From the Deadspin article: "So, for the 80 or so Duke students who emailed this in, thanks. Though I'm concerned that you think this is something to be proud of" Group think is scary |

You know what I love? As I started to watch the clip, an ad for Sex Offender Registries popped up at the bottom of the screen. That seems about right.
