Out of Context

"A male student required a hospital transport from Leonard Hall. He suffered an injury to his penis while having relations with his girlfriend. He required medical attention and was transported to Sibley Hospital." - reported by Public Safety

Apparently the tension between China and Taiwan is more than just political. One Scene staffer found herself in the middle of a lovers' quarrel over several days at her congressional internship. One day, a phone call came reminding the staffer that the congressman had been invited to a Chinese New Year gala. The congressman was unable to attend, but the invitation was appreciated nonetheless. Several days later, a phone call came from the Chinese Embassy wishing to express several key points: 1. The Chinese New Year gala is evil, 2. The organizers of the Chinese New Year gala are evil, 3. The Falun Gong are traitors and evil, 4. His Excellency should not attend the evil Chinese New Year gala. In the days that followed, propaganda from both sides flowed like water into the office. These two may need to work some things out in counseling. __

The convenience store inside the Berkshire Apartments on Massachusetts Avenue refused to accept a Scene staff member's winning Coke bottle cap that strictly stated that he had won a free one-liter Coke product and provide him with the free Coke he so deserved! What's with that? We live in a society of rules. Does it think it's above the rules? This is hardly convenience. The Eagle is calling for a boycott of this store until it honors winning Coke caps! Who's with us? __

"There is nothing bigger than playing the Super Bowl," said Sir Paul McCartney, who will grace the halftime show stage at the Big Game this Sunday. His performance will most likely top lists tracking both McCartney's most embarrassing moments (beating out that duet with Michael Jackson by a nose) and the most egregious exploitations of the Beatles. __

The new Vanilla Coke logo is just a simple cream-colored "V." What does this V really stand for? Vegetable? Vermouth? Vermicelli? Vaginal canal? That said, what necessitates this logo change? Was the word "vanilla" not esoteric enough to convince people that this long-term flavored Coke was good enough? Frankly, we're just proud it has lasted longer than Pepsi Clear, so a new logo is no way to win our hearts. Now, Coke that comes complete with rum ... that's a different story.
