Where's the fire water and wampum?

A classic un-PC, yet why-can't-I-stop-laughing, headline, brought to you by a weekly at Cal State Long Beach.

Those hounds and all. They need releasing.

 

God, the headline had me in tears.

I've seen enough uber-shitty campus "cultural festivals" to fully appreciate what he wrote... but you're pretty much begging to be scalped when you put that in print.

 

It's amazing how people throw the word "racist" around without actually knowing what it means.
That headline was genius.

 

Or, in the case of the student newspaper, circle the wagons!

 

Either the dude doesn't care for a lot of Native American culture, or that was one seriously weak serving of frybread he was served. Either way, it's hard to imagine ANYTHING being a shittier version of a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza.

 

Here's hoping that was intentional.


I laughed at the headline and see nothing wrong with the premise. With some actual reporting, and maybe an hour of research, this kid could have credibly portrayed this event as disingenuous. Instead he showed up, possibly took notes, talked to no one and jotted down some tasteless commentary and a joke about the homeless.

 

The headline has me cracking up.

 

Leaving out the distastefulness of the hed, it being the equivalent of having Stepin Fetchit dialect in a hedline about a Kwanzaa celebration...what exactly is the humor in the hed; what does it play off of?

 

Substitute a "B" for the "P" and it's a Snoop Dogg line. (Common enough that it's virtually the only Snoop Dogg lyrical reference I would get.)

 

George Clinton weeps.

 

Sweet Jesus. Yeah... ahem... that too.

 

We have a high school team called the Indians.

Our local paper, a Freedom operation ran the following in the box above the masthead (is it skybox?)


Podunk Scalps Bumblefuck.

Seemed to me like someone should have caught it.
