So today, the Associated Press reported that the inevitable has finally happened. BYU, the infamous mormon university, most notable for its acheivements in polygamy and douche-baggery (this quote might not be verbatem, btw) has finally lifted its ban on YouTube! I know, brace your self, innocent little BYU-ers. The day has come where the world is finally opened up for your exploration. You can now watch clips of dogs running into walls and a cat playing a piano...riveting, I know.
All sarcasm aside (well, most of it anyway) some people are in an uproar about this because of the portals of doom that it is now open to students whose original purpose for attending BYU was, supposedly, to avoid them. Some people are thinkin' that this change might just be BYU's first step down a slippery slope of apostasy. Nay, I say unto you all, nay.
It makes me upset when parents get in an uproar over a university allowing its students to chose simple things for themselves. They need to teach their children instead of expecting institutions to regulate their lives instead.
Sigh, I don't like opinionated posts, but there you go.
P.S. Further evidence of BYU being on crack...Stadium of Fire? Jonas Brothers? Really? Get someone good next year, BYU. Like The Bravery, or Death Cab for Cutie, or David Bowie, or Franz Ferdinand, or your mother. See, look at all the options.
Haha. So true! It's not like we don't all watch Youtube off campus anyway, and I feel like I managed myself just fine there. Also, you forgot to mention that it was the Jonas Brothers and Glen Beck. Um . . . yeah.
ReplyDeleteAnd Stadium of Fire hasn't had anyone I've cared to see in . . . ever. I don't know why, but recall that last year was Miley Cyrus and you'll get a pretty good idea.
Yeah, and the year before it was Brooks and Dunn. Classic. Lol :)
