Did you hear that OSU Provost Marlene Strathe made out with Justin Timberlake this weekend? And OSU President Burns Hargis was recently seen hanging out with Young Jeezy, Lil’ Wayne and Snoop Dogg.
Oh, we have to tell you about Mike Gundy slapping a baby on Monday. That was just rude.
What was our source for all this believable information? JuicyCampus.com, of course.
Well, technically, we made all of it up Thursday about 5:15 p.m., but we could easily and anonymously post it on the gossip Web site if we so choose. And so could you, for that matter.
In the past two weeks, many OSU students have posted all sorts of things about their fellow classmates. And all the comments show a great reflection of the maturity of OSU students.
“She’s a slut,” “he has herpes,” and “that professor smells like rotting sheep carcus.”
Good job, guys. We’re so proud!
Not.
Hi, we’re in college. That means we act like adults now — and not rude, hateful adults for that matter. OSU is known for its friendly campus. From looking at the comments on the site, that would seem hard to believe.
We realize having a front page story and writing this editorial give the site more attention. If you do decide to visit the site, think before you post. It might be anonymous, but that doesn’t make it right.

I agree. The things people post on that site make the next generation trully look like the dumb generation it’s been labeled as. Grow up guys and gals. Leave middle school behind and actually act like adults. :)
If it bothers you that much, then DON’T read it.
I personally like juicycampus.
It’s great entertainment during my 8 to 5, Monday thru Friday job.
It has consistently amazed me how nasty people can be when hiding behind any level of anonymity, whether it be an alias/handle/username or unidentified post. The sad part about it is that a large majority of these people are friendly, humble or even meek when you meet them in person. Anonymity gives a shield of protection behind which we feel we can say anything we want. We spout off what we would really like to say to someone, a hurtful comment released in a moment of anger, something that seems funny at the time, etc. but we don’t think about the reach or permanence of any of these comments. It is one thing to lash out at someone in your own private diary/journal but it is entirely another to shout it from the electronic mountain top. The problem comes in recognizing that difference.
definitely not a fan of juicy campus at all, but does it not scare anyone else that that kind of censorship is happening on campus? Juicy campus is a waste of time, but not allowing people to view it from your internet server? China does the same thing.
