OPINION & COMMENTARY

Get Shitcanned and Watch the OC!!!

Jamie McGuigan Reporter

Like may young adults I frequently tune into The OC (which is the cool way of saying The Orange County). This teen melodrama, currently in it’s second season, focuses on the problems we would all experience if we were rich, and lived in the OC. As exciting as that sounds, the second season has thus far been lackluster, not even coming remotely close to satisfying that need for real teen drama that can only coming from watching a show about spoiled rich

‘kids. Also adding to the mix, the OC was moved from it’s popular Monday timeslot, to a Thursday night which causes a problem with many people’s drinking schedules. Many students have suffered nervous breakdowns from the inability to decide between watching the OC and going out and get sauced. Thankfully, I have come up with a way to combine both, as well as making any boring episodes that much more enjoyable. I present to you all, the OC

UPEI Student Hits New Low; Friends Disgusted :

Jamie McGuigan Reporter

Truro, NS - Onlookers were

: shocked and appalled early Saturday _ afternoonina seedy Truro Dairy Queen

when UPEI student Chest Rockwell ate

_ toast off a wet and dirty floor.

The incident in question occurred when a friend of Rockwell’s knocked the toast offhis tray onto the

| floor while reaching for his onion rings.

He jokingly offered the toast to Chest who began munching away.

“There was absolutely no hesitation on his part, he didn’t even check for dirt. He showed a complete lack of concern for his physical well being, and I’m beginning to wonder about his mental health,” one onlooker commented. The odd thing is it wasn’t even his toast. It was ifhe wanted free food so bad that he’d eat it if it came out of the trash.”

In fact, Chest Rockwell wouldn’t care if it came out of the trash. He soon realized the similarities in eating food off the floor, and out of a dumpster. Sadly the highly inebriated student even felt enthusiastic about the idea

“I should start doing that!” Rockwell remarked at the chance to eat more discarded food.

Friends did not, however, share Rockwell’s opinion. “Frankly I was disgusted,” said Brock Landers who bore witness to the ordeal, “Ifhe wants to act like that he should be put in a high chair with a bib. This is anew low.

Rockwell, who’s passions in life include 60/40 rum and cokes, tried to downplay the incident. “Well, you know what it’s like being a university

student, you really have to save every penny. You have to stick to a tight budget, and watch your expenditures.” “Tt’s tough for students but you don’t see everyone dining off the floor. I don’t care what kind of a budget you're on, it will never be socially acceptable,” retorted Landers.
