[1]An all-male group of students at Columbia University have had to do some serious apologising to almost every social group on campus including the anti-violence coalition after they distributed fliers in college which had the slogan 'Rape Me'.
The group designed the flier with a picture of one of their members on it. This is reportedly not the first the group's been involved in a similar mess.
Last year, they distributed posters with singer Rihanna’s picture along with the punch line 'I’d Hit That'.
Shortly after the 'Rape Me' fliers were distributed, the group realised no one found the joke funny. They soon released a statement saying, “We may often use off-color statements in an attempt to lampoon social norms or comment on current events, both on campus and in the media - the flyer in question does neither. Instead, it wrongfully makes light of rape and makes us an offensive group, rather than an entertaining group.”
So much for Ivy League education.
