There was a voting drive I must have missed on here-

Because the first I heard of the thing was in AA.com, but it was in a police beat column. Well, apparently we "won" the poll, because they came here and filmed. Presented without comment:
At the very least MGoBloggers can check and see if they're in it, or know anyone in it. It covers a lot. (NSFW)

Sarcastic statements can mean
Sarcastic statements can mean a variety of things. They run the gamut from a way to mask personal insecurities to a device for showing contempt for a person or idea. Regardless of the background reason, sarcastic statements are meant to elevate the speaker in the eyes of their peers, or to invalidate a previous comment or suggestion

I didn't get it at first either.
But if it wasn't a double entendre (as pointed out below), the video is from September 4th. But only mentioned in the news today, and my MGoSearch only came up with the "vote for us over Penn State" to get it, and saw no follow up on that we did get it.
I think it's kinda stupid because it's just girls gone wild with clothes on and dudes, but you never know who is reading, and they might like to see themselves. Or more likely be willing to admit "hey, I know that girl at X:XX minute!"

"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
OK, let me take this one step
OK, let me take this one step at a time.
How do you know those kids are rich? Just because they go to Michigan? Because outside of drinking and smoking weed, things that really don't cost much money, they weren't doing anything that costs money. So are you just implying that all kids at Michigan are rich? Also, many of them were Jewish, maybe that doesn't change your point.
Too much time on their hands? Their college kids, before classes have started. I always had a summer job, but there was always that time between when you move to campus and when classes started where you didn't have shit to do.
It looks to me like they are pretty typical college kids, doing typical college thing. I'm not saying all college kids do that, but you don't need to be a lazy rich kid to drink too much and yell during welcome week.
If you want to be judgmental, there are better things to judge than college kids enjoying welcome week.

someone here's a little rich kid, eh?

Yeah, you're right. The only kids who party at Michigan are rich. The poor kids probably couldn't afford that PBR the rich kids had.

I can't - I haven't spoken with him since his family switched to that country club.
Well, in having lived in the area for my entire life
and having knowledge of how much it costs to attend UM, I can safely say that a sizable portion of those students come from the upper class. Not all, obviously, but a significant chunk.
You're right. This crap goes on at all schools. I made the "rich white kids" crack because of the peasant comment. The 99 percenter in me was slightly annoyed at that. Sorry.
White=Jewish. You have made the mistake for falling for the anti-Semitic categorization of Jews as another race. They aren't. They are Germans, Slavs, Spainards, etc, whose families happen to be Jewish. I have cousins whose family was Jewish, but they no longer practice the faith. Though society still classifies them as "Jewish" they really aren't as Jewish is not a racial category.
Everyone judges everyone. I happen to disdain bacchanalia's as a form of frivolous entertainment that have little redeeming value. You judge my opinion to be disagreeable to your sensibilities. So be it.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
Keep in mind that Michigan is
Keep in mind that Michigan is a public school, with 2/3 of its students from in-state. That means that most of those kids are probably paying a very reasonable tuition. I'm from Grand Rapids - my parents didn't have to be rich to send me to Michigan. It was actually a bargain compared to the other schools I looked at.
You want to argue about whether or not Jewish is an ethnicity, but I don't. My Jewish friends don't consider themselves white kids. Maybe yours do, but that's hardly the point.
I wouldn't say that everyone judges everyone. I think those kids can do with their welcome week what they choose, but you want to rip on them for being rich and not having anything better to do. So you didn't do that in college? So what, different people are different. I'm not judging anyone here, I'm just calling you out for making a very presumptuous and offensive comment.
A response./
Jews are white in the American conception of the term. I, myself, do not consider myself white, but an amalgam of different European ethnic groups.Heck, the KKK was burning crosses on my Italian relatives front lawns in the 20's.
Michigan's tuition is basically not realistic for working families. It might seem reasonable for bourgeois people like youself, but for people of the middling classes it is not. They have to either get a scholarship or take out loans. I had to take out loans to pay for my EMU education and my family lived a solid middle class life in Saline.
Your post is presumptive in assuming that UM's tuition is "reasonable". You also offend me by defending drunken reverie as a not being a big deal. It is a big deal because bad things happen under the influence of alcohol.(Ask Toussaint). It's one think to drink in moderation. It is quite another to get smashed and act the fool.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
White = Jewish? LOL, you
White = Jewish? LOL, you must have not been a student at Michigan. It's different. There are Jewish fraternities. There are not White fraternities. Dudes in black frats / black GDIs feel free to disagree, but I feel that to be the case at Michigan at least.
