So, this isn't particularly sports-related, but tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the horrific massacre at the Virginia Tech campus, and Miami (Ohio) University is going to give it the solemn respect it deserves: they're asking men on campus to paint their fingernails red.
The project conceived by a professor and students in his men's health class is meant to raise awareness about senseless violence committed by men.
Miami junior Tyler Topel is co-chairing the project, dubbed Operation Jungle Red. Topel says they want to make Miami a leader in getting college men to speak out against violence.
It's really hard to pinpoint what pisses me off the most here. Is it the trite expression on a grave day of remembrance? The further pussification of young men who should be getting into bar fights and/or serving in the military? The simplistic metaphor ("blood" on men's hands)? Or is it the ridiculous lines this is going to cause at the nail salons? Seriously, Tuesday is my mani/pedi day, and now there's going to be a bunch of tourists there. Thanks a lot, Ohio.


Ugh, my alma mater is embarrassing. To make up for this shit, I'm punching every woman and killing every chinaman I see tonight.
Jungle Red? I'm more of a Venetian Red.
I'm punching every woman and killing every chinaman I see tonight.
Oh that's right, it is Tuesday, Enrico.
He was Korean, but you can't take any chances. Anyway, I'm just glad I get my nails painted black.
Goddammit sonofabitch. Fuck your school Enrico. I mean, does everything have to be stereotyped? This crap is only going to force me into the roll of insensitive prick next time there is a school shooting and i start laughing upon finding out the perpetrators are girls. I'm infuriated. I mean what the fuck, did this asshole professor not see the cheerleader skanks from the trailor park last week beating the shit outta that girl? Asshole state of Ohio. Fuck off already. Shit.
First, the down fall of GhettoFest. Now this.
Sad.
I'm sorry for yelling.
The Koreans at the nail salon will love this.
I've always insisted that the government was pretty much pwned by the manicurists lobby, and it really drives me crazy to see their influence starting to trickle into academia as well. Who's the paranoid schizophrenic now, Dr. Watkins?
Women commit violent acts all the time. For example, last night the hooker I was trying to strangle scratched my face.
+1 Zack. Well done.
@vince
I hope you cut that bitches head off. We can't stand for that sort of violence out of hookers.
Holy Shit the school I'm currently attending gets a shoutout on WL
Mind=Blown.
And yes this is gayer then Nathan Lane at a gay strip club.
Kudos, Tyler Topel. Every woman on campus now wants to sleep with you.
Too bad you're exclusively into cock.
This is just an incalculably gay idea.
While we're trivializing tragedies, let's go ahead and ban leather trenchcoats every april in Colorado, you know, because those kids wore them and shot people!
Thanks for reminding me, I need to get the red out from under my fingernails.
It's so funny. I often watch some funny videos and photos on m y i n t e r r a c i a l m a t c h . c o m. It said that there are some hot star such as Britney's photoes and videos there.
this dude and any guy that goes along with this is a fucking cunt.
So wait, if I get into bar fights regularly (no matter how stupid they may be) I am excused from PT and Drill? I need to speak to my CO about this.
There are a ton of Miami kids that read this site! INsane.
As a Miami Alumnus, and former resident of Roanoke, Virginia, I can say this is the gayest idea ever. EVER!
@John Cocktosin: What do you mean the downfall of Ghettofest? What the hell happened to Ghettofest??? Please tell me, but be merciful. Sugarcoat it somehow…Ghettofest memories are all I have to cling to anymore…
I thought they would go with some form of symbolism involving tampons. Then again, I would not be good at this, being that I’m hetero.
Ballstatic, as a former Ghetto resident myself, I am appalled by this news as well.

Miami U harbors douchebags.
Don't mind Jengals, she went to CU (stripper).
@Enrico & Ballstastic…
Six years ago or so, didn't the OPD clamp down on the spring celebration that is GhettoFest? Sure, some brawls break out, people are stabbed, couches burned, and some parental figures have to ruin the fun. Lived on N. Campus for a summer.
I do remember the cops getting involved heavily. My senior year, they even shipped in cops from Eaton and Hamilton to help. Mostly they just made sure people stayed off the sidewalks with open containers. (you know, since you need extra cops to ensure that, our tax dollars hard at work!)
The cool part was that most of them have trading cards, and I collected a bunch of them. One guy told me he wished they had his kills listed on the backs. And we wonder how Hamilton County police incite race riots??
I'm all in favor of remembering important events and honoring the students at VaTech, but this is RE-GODDAMN-DICULOUS. As an alum, I want to go back to Miami and punch every dude who did this right in the nards. fuck this noise.
