Yeah, that movie came out right before my freshman year of high school, when I attended band camp for the first time. It was weird because I love the movie, but hated the fact that I could not mention BAND or BAND CAMP or anything to do with playing an instrument to anyone who wasn't in band because they would inevitably think they were the first person to mockingly say "THIS ONE TIME AT BAND CAMP LULZ!"

Holy shit.  That's really tasteless.  I was ready to roll my eyes, as the OSU band thing is bad, but it's not as bad as it was made out to be (sexualized atmopshere?!?!  IN COLLEGE?!?!?!).  But this... wow.  That's a few notches up from the "On top of the schoolhouse..." song from middle school.  That's really shitty...

This is disgusting and shameful even for OSU.

"The Holocaust song, called “Goodbye Kramer,” whose lyrics haven't been previously disclosed, includes lines about Nazi soldiers “searching for people livin’ in their neighbor’s attic,” and a “small town Jew…who took the cattle train to you know where.” It was written to be sung to the tune of the 1981 Journey hit “Don’t Stop Believin’.

“Head to the furnace room, ‘Bout to meet your fiery doom,” one line of the song reads. “Oh the baking never ends, It goes on and on and on and on.”

I am just stunned.  Who in the hell thinks that's OK in any context?  Teenage band kids blowing off steam blah blah blah.  Are are you fucking kidding me?

“I don’t think you are going to find many 19-year-olds who don’t joke about those things.” Auer, a 2007 Ohio State graduate now working as a band instructor in central Ohio, said he had enjoyed singing songs from the book while on the bus traveling to away football games, though he regrets that the material has become public. “It was fun for me as an individual, but we knew if the public ever caught wind of them, people are going to lose respect."

Hey WD, how many times did you make graphic holocaust jokes? I know there were people who did it, but I know my group of friends didn't make these jokes...

Typical - it's funny unless I get in trouble for it...

Seriously.  Can we get beyond the notion that because you are in your teens you get a free pass for everything?

I keep seeing posts about extremely bad behaviour, and then comments like "It's OK, we all did stupid things as a teenager".

Yes we all did stupid things as teenagers.  And we do some stupid things as adults too.  But there are some lines you don't cross, period.  

Not everything is OK just because you are under 20.

of something "hilarious" happening on game day in Columbus.  He was watching the game at a restaurant near campus.  It was all OSU fans except one Penn State fan, their opponent that day.  OSU won by a huge margin, but after one of Penn State's few touchdowns, the lone Nittany Lions fan stood up and cheered.  An OSU fan at his table stood up and poured an entire pitcher of beer over the young man's head.  So awesome!

I know plenty of OSU fans and graduates who are fine people.  But the fanbase's reputation for being a raging bunch of assholes has some basis in fact.

Because people from columbus can't read, that moron didn't read the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, who survived that evil.

That book left me so disturbed to a point where I don't want to believe that humans are capable of those kind of attrocities. 

Anyone who agrees with any of that nazi evil bullshit or thinks it was funny should be punched in the fucking throat.

Do these people not understand basic human decency? What kind of sick person thinks making fun of the holocaust or any genocide is funny. Parody songs are supposed to be funny! Nothing about the Holocaust or any part of WWII was funny. This is exactly why learning about history is important. So that people don't ignorantly do moronic acts such as this.

and offensive jokes, even I find holocaust jokes to be in poor taste.

Also, I find it telling that one of their songs refers to giving another man a "hot karl".

To be fair, it must be noted that our Michigan Marching Band would for their part likely have penned several  extremely offensive parodies of OSU's fight song... if it wasn't such a mediocrely forgettable tune.

“There’s no place as gay as Nebraska, except maybe Michigan U. Where the girls are all hairy, and the boys are all fairies, on your chest we will poo.”

I thought it was coolers, not chests, that they preferred for their poo?
