Walsingham Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I don't know many old universities where someone's door posters would be censured. I've seen all kinds of mental stuff over the years. It's all a fucntion of what I call 'business grim'. The theory that acting really 'grown up' will magically infect any organisation with the magic of private enterprise! Universities of late are particularly guilty of this. It's pathetic, though. Like watching six year olds playing dress up. In my experience really professional and focussed organisations don't just 'get away' with acting silly. They need to act silly to let off steam.

Raithe Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I think that what made me blink the most is that the folks behind the censuring were taking the stand that the (to my mind) obviously humerous posters were potentially inciting violence due to containing words/imagery depicting death/acts of aggression... Just.. very wtf. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Sometimes posters DO incite violence. But posters on the door of a university professor? I guess it all depends on the context and who the students are. It's not as if this was the KKK KGB Kollege of Khaos. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

A big picture of Captain Mal with that quote from a cult sci-fi series would kind of go with a Professor who gets to make various irritated snarky comments at thesis students who constantly bug him...

I have this on my door: And yes, there was an attempt by the uni to ban all posters etc. Obviously, enforcing such a rule against a couple of hundrer lawyers is too much of a pain to bother with, they probably oppress the linguistics people twice for us.

Raithe Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 When I did my industrial placement back at uni, as the sole IT guy in the office I had a poster reading : "We are the Willing, Led by the Unknowing, Doing the Impossible, For the Ungrateful. We have now Done So Much For So Long - For So Many With So Little We Can Now Do Anything With Nothing." Although after a few weeks it was gently asked that it be removed since there was the potential of actual customers catching sight of it.... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Walsingham Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Nearly died wheezing when I put the term 'sex change' into Google just now. OK, that sounded a lot more dodgy than I meant it to. I'm doing research on aberrant psychology and culture. Anyway, point is that all the spurious ads came up. My favourites are "GenderChange|Cabling4Less" and "Gender Changer: We stock this item, quick dispatch." :lol: "It wasn't lies.

I've had misprints of stuff that did that a couple of times. I remember when I was young, I was a big fan of some disney minimag. Had a subscription for years. One issue came... and the second half of it was the first half reprinted upside down. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

That's really strange, since the pages where it supposedly switches are two sides of the same page. Which just shouldn't be possible. That also conveniently makes it "unshowable" in pictures, but I can't think anyone even on the fake rumor-ridden 40k boards would crave attention that badly. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Tale Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 That's really strange, since the pages where it supposedly switches are two sides of the same page. Where do you get that from? Looking at the pictures, I don't see support for that. You see Mitchell Scanlon (author of Descent of Angels) on 192. On 193, you see the title Mechanicum. So it was 192/193, which are different pages. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
