You know that a "glory hole" doesn't mean what you think it means except as slang? Read more
and then Notre Dame would almost surely appeal to the Supreme Court again. This thing could ping-pong back and forth forever, and what fun that would be Read more
I'm so ashamed of Oklahoma each time it makes headlines. I go here, and actually walk by the SAE house every day to class. Let's just say it felt as though there were a large amount of students who were very sympathetic to the fraternity, and it was sickening. Even the friend I had lunch with felt sorry for "those who… Read more
Sarah was a friend of a friend and I'm glad to see some justice in her death, though it barely even touches the surface of the real issue at hand. People's health and safety are routinely placed at risk in favor of saving a couple bucks. It has got to stop. Read more
Yeah, the whole attitude of their defense seems to be "we thought it was okay", which is bullshit on a number of levels. First, in this industry you don't fuck around with permissions on big things like train tracks and assume you have it. Secondly, if you were sure you were cleared, you wouldn't warn your crew that… Read more
Good. I hope this has a serious ripple effect in indie film as well as my industry, reality tv. I have been very lucky not to have been involved in anything dangerous while on set, but the reality is (no pun intended) that in fields like indie film and low budget reality tv, people cut corners. That's fine if it's… Read more
I'd like to hear more about how they decided to go after the Director instead of the 1st AD, and production staff if anyone has info on that. More than one person should go to jail for this but I'm wondering why they went after the director (I work in the industry) when the production staff deal with safety and… Read more
"[T]hat man is going to walk up to the SAE house tomorrow morning and hear that he no longer has a job. He is going to learn who has been working for. And through some cruel twist of fate, he has to lose the job that he has held for over a decade. He is going to lose his job because of a bus full of racist kids." Read more
When I was at BSU many moons ago, I was a residence assistant at one of the dorms in LaFollette. While I was there, our dorm played host to the SAE frat because their house sustained damage somehow and they worked out a deal to live in our study-halls until it was rebuilt that semester. I remember this quite vividly… Read more
I was (emphases on WAS) Facebook friends with someone I knew from college who was, apparently, an SAE. His post about this incident was so insanely disgusting and horrifying that I'm tempted to post it here, verbatim, and would if I wasn't so paranoid. Read more
A few weeks ago I said that I have never met a member or former member of SAE that wasn't a complete asshole. Like clockwork, I got SAE defenders telling me how wrong I was, that their chapters are different and that the reputation SAE has is undeserved. No, no it isn't. Read more
