Glenn Beck visited Orlando on Saturday to sing “Amazing Grace” with some wingnuts, in an arena of sorts. That guy must have so much money. Anyway, some fraternity boys, or perhaps commies (?), got 53 of the wingnuts to park in their parking lot, and then had them all towed away. Was Eric Cantor shot(-ish) or harassed by omnipotent retards on the Internet during this event, too? Probably.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dozens of people who parked at the University of Central Florida for an event say they were set up after their cars were towed. They said event parking signs directed them to a lot, but more than 50 cars in that lot were towed. People said those signs and their cars were gone when they got back.
A viewer contacted WFTV after his car was towed Saturday, along with 52 others. All of them were in line to recover their cars at an impound lot and all of them attended the Glenn Beck show at UCF.
The people parked in a Kappa Sigma lot. Mike Vedder thinks they were set up. He doesn’t know if it was a dislike of the conservative commentator or money.
Probably money. What frat boys — Kappa Sigma at that! — would dislike Glenn Beck so much?

Good prank, Kappa Sigma! Innovative thinking can lead to more beer money.
But it gives Beck another conspiracy theory.
UCF Greek Life does something productive? Unpossible!
Go Knights!
k-sig i wanna have your babies
WTFTV?
Wonkette should get a parking lot and do the same thing.
Dude, where’s my trucknutz?
Money? How do you get money from having a car towed?
Anyway, I think it was for the sake of being zany! Zany!
Those lap dances, coke & Polo sweaters just don’t buy themselves now, do they?
I bet it was a DIFFERENT frat, making money while playing a prank on both the Kappa Sigs AND the teabaggers. But which frat? Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
Fratboys around the world are known for their radical leftist political leanings, so of course this was an anti-Beck conspiracy; especially considering that it happened just two days before the day when liberals across America go around punching conservatives.
“Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.”
Damn, beat me to it.
[re=544823]Red Zeppelin[/re]: Yeah, me too.
[re=544832]Lazy Media[/re]: You’re talking about Delta, Sir.
All the frat dudes I knew in college were spoiled, sex obsessed rich white Reaganites who all firmly believed they would be millionaires in a couple of years. My how times have changed.
ACORN strikes again.
From their website:
At the heart of Kappa Sigma lie the Fraternity’s Four Pillars, which guide our ambitions and underpin our successes. Striving for excellence in Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship and Service
Well, there you have it: A communist organization if I ever saw one. I guess that makes this both a communist plot AND a Greek Tragedy. Of sorts.
[re=544834]Baldar T Flagass[/re]: Bluto & Otter up to their old trix…
Aye, park there and you will pay. Park uere, and it’ll be free… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade free parking, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our cars, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDUMs!
I miss harmless old-fashioned frat humor, like when those guys at Ole Miss hired black folks to pick cotton during a mixer.
“Maybe the have a deal with the tow truck company or maybe they got kickbacks under the table,” Vedder said.
Sounds like Capitalism to me, or maybe Mr. Commie Vedder thinks the government ought to regulate towing companies. I bet he even hates the troops who protect capitalism from the likes of socalist fascists like him.
Someone said the 53 cars were melted down and turned into a sculpture of Minnie Mouse that was set up at the new Disney-GM-Toyota Expo Car Hall at DisneyLandWorldExpoCenterPlaza.
Meh, it’s Kappa Sig. Confederate flag-draped rednecks fit right in.
They probably just needed more money for whiskey and dip.
Given the financial crisis in the EU, the Greeks should raise money anyway they can.
And do we know for sure that its wasn’t Beck’s advance people who placed the signs at the lot? And then came back and removed the signs when they realized they’d screwed up? Would even Frat boys be dumb enough to think they could run a scam like this and not get caught?
[re=544828]SmutBoffin[/re]: Did it say whether they charged for parking? A lot of times businesses and churches near an event will charge anywhere from $1 to $5 per car to park in their lot, at least here. I just assumed the fratastics charged each car a fee to park and then had all the cars towed so they had their lot back.
The Kappa Sig symbol is the Star and the Crescent. In other words, they are all Communist Muslim terrorists.
If they charged 5 bucks to park, at 50+ cars, it will keep them in coconut shells and grass skirts for a while, with some left over for a few kegs. Beck fans are not known for being particularly bright. These guys have a future in the Republican party.
SmutBoffin: you get commi$$ion$ from towing co. and the tattooed guys who run the impound lot. Or their dog’ll sic ya. KS probably got the idea from the Palin playbook.
It probably wasn’t dislike of money.
Go K-S. You didn’t quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, either. I hope you drove these things around a little and siphoned the tank before the tow truck showed up.
P.S. The trunk makes a great shitter, true dat.
Wow. This beats the Rice University Marching Owl Band’s maneuver of rushing out to put two E’s on either end of the Aggie Band’s “aTm” formation. I has high hopes for our new kollege studence!
It took the tow truck guy over 8 hours to tow all the cars. Who spends that long at a Glen Beck event?
[re=544843]St.SarahOfThePO[/re]: That seems wrong; I thought that at the heart of every fraternity lay the four pillars of drunkenness, wealthy privilege, date rape, and general smug douchebaggery.
[re=544859]Redhead[/re]: [re=544862]torera[/re]: Huh. BRB gonna go get some munnies now.
[re=544876]krlars[/re]: Probably went drinkin’ in the college-kid bars after the big vomit-slinging Glen Beck partay.
You know when something like this wouldn’t have happened? The day after 9/11. Because we were too united as a country to tow other people’s cars. If only somebody could come up with a movement harking back to those inspiring days of yesteryear.
Idiots. Stay in the car next time it’s raptured.
i hope they drove the cars to the wrong part of town…and now they’re long gone.
[re=544832]Lazy Media[/re]: bingo. Kappa Sigs I knew at UVa were scions of their southern families. Oh they deigned to buy weed & coke from us, but we weren’t their kind of people. They were pranked in this deal for sure.
What time in the morning on Saturday was this event? Anytime before about 1130 you could fucking bulldoze their parking lot and nobody would know; they’re all comatose. If this shindig started on farmer time, say 10:00 AM, the lot probably filled up by 9:30. Brothers still dreamimg homoerotic wet dreams at that hour. So they wake up, noonish, to a parking lot full of strangers’ cars. What the fuck? Somebody call the tow guy, what’s his fucking name?
Sheeyut, Obama’s on fire. While we all thought he was in Afghanistan all day Friday, he musta hijacked an F-16 or somesuch to make it to FL and back just to fuck with Beck. Does his racism and dislike of the white culture know no bounds?
“He doesn’t know if it was a dislike of the conservative commentator or money.”
Uh, maybe it was a prank on the frat? Why can’t it be all three? And what’s wrong with MONEY, you commies?
Those guys real Merkin heroes. Now they need to donate 100 percent of it to Hannity’s military families for the win.
Surely, no one dislikes Glenn Beck and his followers enough to perpetrate such a hateful prank?
* spit take *
[re=544826]KnaveOfDiamonds[/re]: Well played, my friend. Well played indeed.
are
[re=544818]Knightro829[/re]: [re=544890]Maus[/re]:
Yeh gotta give those Kap Sig’s credit for doin’ something right…at least they were paying attention in Econ 101.
Who said they were always hung over, more like well hung…and much smarter than fifth graders or dorm dorks, for that matter…!
Speaking of scum, Gawker also has a post about the newly revealed name of Beck’s 3rd or 4th book of fiction.
This is the only time I have ever been impressed by a frat. Hopefully, the Frats of America can do more of this sort of thing.
My fraternity were good friends with the Kappa Sigs at my college back in the 70′s. The story goes that one night they sent their pledges to steal railroad ties so they could have a bonfire. The laugh is that they were creosoted so it was a bad idea to begin with.
Anyway, one of the pleadges tripped over s track switch that sent the next train coming through onto the wrong track and made them have a little derailment. Sounded like a bomb went off. No one hurt.
Crazy guys those Kappa Sigs.
[re=544832]Lazy Media[/re]: You are my hero. You see, if you were a senior in high school when that movie was released, it is your bible, and life manual, and certainly, it was the guide to College Life. College, the best 7 years of my life, its where I learned, knowledge is good. And the importance of trimming those nose hairs, they can feel them on the nipples. Keep them trimmed, that you you can feel the nipple hairs on your nose.
[re=544838]mardam422[/re]: “Of course I’m talking about Delta, you twerp. Put Niedermeyer on it, he’s a sneaky little shit just like you.”
[re=544861]eyesfriedopen[/re]: I agree. It is a basic tenet of repthuglican principles that there is noting wrong with ripping off the rubes. In fact ripping off the rubes is a sacred duty. That’s what Beck is doing, Hannity too and Michael Steele no longer even pretends otherwise.
ManchuCandidate says at 3:37 pm, March 30th, 2010
Come on already…ManchuC, yeh can’t kid a kidder…
Your real name is Mel; ain’t it?
Don’t worry, just send your receipts to the RNC and you can get reimbursed.
The real crime= attending a Glenn Beck event for 8 hours.
[re=544832]Lazy Media[/re]: I bet it was a DIFFERENT frat, making money while playing a prank on both the Kappa Sigs AND the teabaggers.
I don’t think so. Cuz then the Kappa Sigs would have had to collect money as people parked in their lot, and there would be witnesses to this crime. Probably the frat boys just put up the signs and went on a panty raid. When they came back, the lot was full and they called the cops.
I would assume Lambda Lambda Lambda. I mean, who is more anti-beck than the Nerd/Black Power coalition?
[re=544838]mardam422[/re]: Of course, I’m talking about Delta, you twerp!
[re=544882]bitchincamaro[/re]: Nice.
[re=544927]Ducksworthy[/re]: Ollie North and that retarded dude with the show on Fox, whats his name, its kinda amazing he does so well, what with being a tard, Hannity, thats it, they’re doing a heckuva job with that “charity” of theirs, as well, also, you betcha, with the rubes and our freedoms to rip them off.
[re=544901]Katydid[/re]: Oh, great. The new Turner Diaries.
[re=544936]Aurelio[/re]: Not really…
All they had to do was have a kickback thingy goin’ down, with the guy with the hook and they party hearty, at the house, for another weekend… Say 25%, that’s $1500, more than a couple kegs!
[re=544882]bitchincamaro[/re]: Lets drive to the bahamas!
Do these guys have a PayPal account?
I think it was the ZBTs, who recently had bought the towing company and wanted to remind people of the Passover plagues by calling attention to Glen Beck.
[re=544936]Aurelio[/re]: I like the teabaggers’ kickback theory; surely, this one guy doesn’t have the towing contract for the whole college. But it’s Robot House getting the kickback, since they put up the signs and called the tow truck. Kappa Sig, you’ve been punk’d! ROBOT HOUSE!!!!!!!!
[re=544967]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: the ZBTs… AKA Zillions, Billions and Trillions. They could afford the towing company, the Kappa Sig national, and the University of Underwater Florida Real Estate where this happened.
[re=544964]Gramps[/re]: [re=544971]Lazy Media[/re]: You guys and your crazy pan-Hellenic conspiracy theories. Isn’t anything simple anymore?
One of the Kappa Sigs was heard to say “you fucked up, you trusted us”. Yeah Otter. Also, I could find it possible to believe that most of those tea bagger types looked like Flounder.
[re=544987]Aurelio[/re]: They never called us “frat rats” fer nothin’…and that was fifty years ago…!
Boy that line at the impounding lot must have been a smoldering mass of confused homoerotic feelings and urges.
One thing is for sure. Dean Wormer is going to be putting somebody on double-secret probation.
When you boys sober up, your Wall St. jobs will be waiting.
[re=544962]Lazy Media[/re]: must… kill… John… Lennon…
“Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
At Cal, fraternities fund a big chunk of their year from event parking. If you’ve ever tried to park in Berkeley for an event at the university, you know why. No one would kill the golden goose with a stupid prank like this, so I have a hard time believing the “brothers” set it up. My money’s on another house or someone who got their car towed from their before and knows them as little parking lot Nazis
I’ve been to plenty of events where there’s scarce parking, but I’ve never heard of anything like this. I mean, what kind of idiot would park in a private lot based on a sign they saw out on the street without getting some kind of confirmation from the residents of the house? Oh, that’s right, Glenn Beck was involved . . . never mind.
Give half the proceeds to the cops, & don’t have the police on your back over underage drinking for the rest of the term.
Graft: what makes American run.
And for centuries there after, a cautious admonishment was handed down to all those who would leave their vehicles unattended for the better part of a late afternoon:
“Beware of Greeks offering cheap parking.”
Haha and they thought they were going to get one of each bill. Or is that when you roll snake eyes? Either way, irony.
I’m sure Kappa Sig’s get a kickback. Parking around UCF is a world class clusterfuck. So this is no surprise. Odds are the incompent UCF cops placed the signs in the wrong place.
I was president of this chapter a few years back. The tow signs are always there. We even had to the pave the parking lot ourselves. The University doesn’t not maintain it. The event parking sign was probably pointing to a small parking lot across the street at Lake Claire, which is always full. These people are too cheap to wait in line and pay five dollars for event parking in a garage.
Who knew there were so many fellow Orlandoan Wonketteers?
Conspiracy! Conspiracy! Whenever something negative happens to us, it’s always a setup! This is how it is in Obama’s socialist America. Can’t even park our GM SUVs wherever we damn please.
Hot diggity damn! I am so damn proud to be a Kappa Sig Alum today! AEKDB Central Florida Bros!!
Skull & Bones? Rove? Bush in toga?
Bush in toga, bwaahahahahahaha………….
Everybody here’s probably half right. Kappa Sig and some other frat they get along with (or even some GDIs they buy their dope from, maybe) conspired and split the proceeds.
Here’s how it goes down: GDI’s, direct cars into KapSigs lot and collect a 5-spot each, while KapSigs look the other way. Once the haul is split, GDIs disappear into the wilds of Florida, and KapSigs, now are shocked! shocked! and outraged that their lot is full of Jap cars, and call the towing company.
These frat guys are still young, but they’ve read the Nixon/Reagan playbook at least as far a “plausible deniability.”
NEEEERDS!
ROOOOBOT HOUSE
Remember: “Free Parking Isn’t Free” – it was won on the beaches of Flanders, and the Bridge at Remarkable
Hi-larious.
