IDIOT PRANKS

Terrible Racist Dead Bear Shrine Not Racist After All

Sad sleeping bear, wake up!So the poor sad bear cub that was dumped, dead, on the campus of Western Carolina University with Obama signs over its head was not some weird violent threat-omen against black people or Democratic voters or bears. ‘Twas a lighthearted prank, carried out by a couple of whimsical young men, for larfs!

One assumes they were stinking drunk out of their minds when they did this:

According to a statement from the university, the students found the bear while camping Saturday night and continued with their trip.

They returned home and unloaded their gear Sunday before returning to the woods to get the bear. They brought the bear to a party at The Summit, an off-campus housing complex, and there they decided to dump it at a roundabout in front of the administration building.

The Obama campaign material involved was really two signs taped together…

Nonetheless, a faculty panel convened to discuss the “healing” everybody needs after some stupid boozebags put a couple of lawn signs on a dead bear.

    spencer: you hope too much. Does hopey have you with his rainbows?

  10. problemwithcaring says at 2:09 pm, October 24th, 2008

    The next shoe to drop is news that the McCain campaign was just another elaborate joke too. “You all thought I wanted to be president? Psyche!!”

  11. JoeFannyPack says at 2:10 pm, October 24th, 2008

    They didn’t mention that the bear had been carrying a switchblade, a mirror, a map showing Pittsburgh area ATMs, a picture of Ashley Todd’s car, and 60 bucks.

  12. Was there “M” carved on the bear’s cheek?

  13. Dr. Zoidberg says at 2:13 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Carrie_Okie: Whatta you want, a Blingee?!

  14. Dr. Zoidberg says at 2:14 pm, October 24th, 2008

    JoeFannyPack: Of course they didn’t mention that - the librul media is IN THE TANK for Hopey.

  15. Ooooh, I bet that dead bear smelled delightful by the time they went back into the woods to pick it up.

  16. 4tehlulz says at 2:15 pm, October 24th, 2008

    carerer: Backwards

  17. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:17 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Carrie_Okie: You had to go off and ruin like that, didn’t you.

  18. SelfDeprecatingFed says at 2:19 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Please let the next revelation be that Sarah Palin has been Tina Fey all along… Please let it be so!

  19. Caleb & Cotton. Classic. What’s mom’s name: Lulabelle?

  20. freakishlystrong says at 2:24 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I hope that cub’s mom finds them next time their shitfaced in the woods…

  21. springfield_meltdown says at 2:26 pm, October 24th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: A young, blonde woman on the bus had a McCain Palin button on her backpack and I was a bit frightened by her. You don’t know what those Walnuts fans will do next.

  22. Carrie_Okie says at 2:26 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Dr. Zoidberg:
    shortsshortsshorts:
    Zoidz: why yes. I require Trucknuts themed blingee with no less than three whore zircons.
    Shortx3s: Why you gotta do me like that?

  23. Not_So_Much says at 2:26 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Oh. I thought it was a big, hairy, gay guy.

    By comparison, this doesn’t seem all that bad…

  24. ConfederacyOfCuntses says at 2:28 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Asheville is a really nice, liberal town. Culowee, not so much. Think “Deliverance” hillbillies with even worse dental care.

  25. edgydrifter says at 2:29 pm, October 24th, 2008

    In my day, we’d have hauled that bear up to the top of the admin building and roof-tested it. Lazy punk kids these days…

  26. AnnieGetYourFun says at 2:33 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Nothing says “haha” like a dead baby, ameyerite?

  27. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:36 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Carrie_Okie: Iz all good, homie. I ain’t trippin’.

  28. coolcatdaddy says at 2:38 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Ah, I see that Western Carolina hasn’t changed.

    Went to a couple of football games there when I was in the band at App State in the 1980s. Both times, the WCU students, drunk off their nutz, assaulted the band members and broke their instruments. The Prez of the university wrote an official apology to App State’s president to encourage some healin’.

    There’s nothing to do up - Cullowhee is miles from any decent sized town. It’s sort of like Wasilla with a college attached to it.

  29. bitchincamaro says at 2:39 pm, October 24th, 2008

    My dad used to regale his kids with the time he and his pal Brady, got drunk and stole a life-sized cast iron Bambie and put it on Mrs. Brady’s front porch. The next day they couldn’t budge it. Haha. The power of alcohol!

    Also, he didn’t go to no fancy-pants college.

    The cubs’ attitude is, “Wait ’til next year.”

  31. facehead says at 2:43 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I AM A DEAD BEAR

    THE SUBJECT OF GOOD NATURED HUMOR

  32. Gopherit says at 2:47 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Today is like the Twin Peaks finale.

  33. keepinitrealyo says at 2:57 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Gopherit: AT LAST!

  34. Whatupbitches says at 2:59 pm, October 24th, 2008

    And this is why I say….get the draft back!!!!

  35. jlindquist says at 2:59 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I knew it… they did it all for the lulz.

  36. Carrie_Okie says at 3:13 pm, October 24th, 2008

    coolcatdaddy: C’mon, Sylva, Dillsboro, Weaverville, Canton…oh wait.

  37. I think someone needs to write “I will not tape political signs to dead things that I found in the woods” on the blackboard a thousand times.

  38. liquiddaddy says at 4:20 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Good thing Mike Huckabee didn’t find it first.

  39. White people are so deranged.

  40. InKnockYouUs says at 7:57 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Who would take a dead bear to a party? C’mon.

  41. josereyes.theroof says at 8:58 pm, October 24th, 2008

    liquiddaddy: There isn’t an air-popper big enough to fit a bear, my man.
