But "why are people so outraged by words?" is a truly ignorant question.

Hate crimes, suicide bombers, the 3rd Reich were the result of "just words".  Granted, repeated over and over in multiple mediums, but would not understimate the power of words.  

Back on topic, he's a kid, but with his history, not a smart thing.

"Hate crimes, suicide bombers, the 3rd Reich were the result of "just words"." Not to get too far off-topic, but I think you are greatly oversimplifying things here. Words did not create an environment for those things to happen, words just negatively brought people together that already had some sort of resentment. So yeah, they are "just words".

Here's a "cool story bro" moment:

A few years back, I was at a campus bar with some of my buddies from college. Suddenly, there was a buzz coming from the crowd. We looked up to see what the deal was, only to find it was our favorite QB from "The University of Ohio State," Mr. Terrelle Pryor.
At the time, I knew damn well he wasn't 21 (this bar was 21+), but obviously, they didn't give a shit. From there, it was just like a photo op for him and, of course, he never paid for a drink.
Maybe an hour later, a rather inebriated Pryor stood on a table and bellowed out: "who wants to fuck me?!"... Much to the delight of the crowd.

Moral of my story is: "college kids gonna college."

The question is -- did his tactic work? I've got a little over a 7" penis (at least the last time I measured...but the fatter I get the smaller it gets sadly) -- so using the transitive theory, while employing the same tactic, I should succeed at half the rate. DC hear I come! Wait, I wonder if there's a geographical bias? And now that I'm 40, and he was likely 20, does that mean I divide my theoretical success rate in half again? Forget it, I'll see how my wife responds to Mutumbo's Gambit -- if it bumps me up from once a month to twice, I'm 100% better off, right?

Calm down Beavis! Touched a nerve huh? I actually thought my comment was kinda whitty -- obviously you didn't. I nominate you Captain of the "Internet Penis Police," do I hear a second?!?

Cool.  I worked at Skye Bar, as well as Charlie Bear.  Those were my two campus spots.  I would sometimes fill in at B-Hamp's and Frog Bear.  I also bartended at the steakhouse in the casino when it opened, among a bunch of neighborhood bars that you may or may not know...

Is this smart?  Nope.  Is it that big of a deal?  Nope again.  Even though he's a public figure and even though he has a history of poor judgment, he's still a college guy.  This is pretty low on the "dumb things guys do in college" spectrum.  

I probably would have done it naked, on a dare.  From myself.

but from this clown inexcusable.  If he were our qb, I would renounce the team until he cleaned up or left.  I am serious.  Braylon was in the doghouse for far less.
