Duke frats send out awful Halloween party invitations to coeds
By James Brady RyanNovember 3rd, 2010, 12:23 pmComments (13)Duke University's PR person must be constantly working; the most recent outrage gripping people at the school involves some really charming (read: offensive) invitations full of great jokes (read: misogynist bullshit) to some female classmates they treat with respect and dignity (read: disregard and roofies). Of course, the frats involved are claiming that the invites were all sent out by individuals and the rest of the brothers had no involvement:
Note the addition from someone who probably really wishes they weren't going to Duke. I'm sure some of you will read this and think it was just a joke and people get too easily outraged over nothing. To you all I say: fine, though I completely disagree. But here's the thing: these are not even good jokes! Seriously, they are stale, and poorly told, and some are just incomprehensible! (Does not having the physiqe of Snooki mean you are... tall? Fat? Small boobs, thin hair, what?)
Gawker has another invitation from a different fraternity that makes a Helen Keller joke that wasn't fresh in 1984. If you're going to be offensive anyway, at least try harder.

newsflash: frat boys are low-level, small-dicked, small-brained jerkwads.
Don't be as bad as the people stereotyping you as a slut. If the invitation didn't hit you hard on a personal level why are you so mad? Hmm.....
You'd think that Duke would be able to teach the difference between "your" and "you're" but i guess not.
Why are people up in arms about frat boys acting like frat boys? There's a reason "frat boy" is synonymous with "drunked-up doucebag".
I can't find the your/you're mistake. Is KK just messing with me?
the your/you're mistake is in the first sentence of the second paragraph.
They actually stole all these jokes from someecards.com! I thought I recognised them.
Really? A fraternity trying desperately to be thought of as campus bad boys acted inappropriately and pissed people off, thereby elevating, at least in their own minds, their cool kid rep? I have never heard of such a thing.
THEN they get national attention- I bet that really gets their nads buzzing. Well done, Dukelings, you're famous. Jeebus.
Gotta be frank - I have never met a Duke alum I didn't find boring, white, and / or rich. What an over-rated, douche-bag filled institution. Good god.
I laughed. Sue me.
Why do you not consider this satire?
"If you're not outraged, you probably just have something more interesting to do." Meh. (PS Snooki is considered "fat." The joke is, congratulations for not being fat.)
Thanks alot - your answer solved all my problems after svearel days struggling
