Culture Buzz Man, these guys are fast. From last night's episode, The Poor Kid.
Come on EA Sports! Everyone knows that you have to consider the possibility that horrific child abuse charges may be leveled against a football team before you write your in-game headlines. (via twitter.com)
Culture Buzz Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, breaks his silence on the Penn State scandal with Bob Costas. And he unsurprisingly denies all the charges. “Horsing around” and “horseplay” are terms that are now forever tainted.
Culture Buzz On the heels of the revelation that the judge who freed Jerry Sandusky on bail was a donor to Sandusky's Second Mile charity, and the incredulous questions as to why she did not recuse herself, here are some more unanswered questions surrounding this awful scandal. Not to get into the realm of conspiracy theory, but there are some very disturbing “coincidences” surrounding this case.
Culture Buzz Jerry Sandusky in a 1987 NBC interview: “I enjoy being around children…I just have a good time with them.” “Everybody needs people to care for them, even if sometimes they don't want it.” *shudder*

“I’m the prince of darkness, but I’m not a monster!” Jason Sudeikis reprised his devil role on SNL to discuss what he thought was a football scandal.

Sports Buzz It may not be available on Amazon right now, but signed copies of the memoir that everyone's cringing over can be had on eBay. To quote the seller's description: “Burn in Hell Jerry!”
Culture Buzz This is the horrific and damning story of Victim 2. From the Grand Jury Report into the alleged and repeated rape of young boys by former Penn State Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky. The report identifies at least 8 victims, but Victim 2 is the case that directly involved Head Coach Joe Paterno and the upper echelons of the Penn State hierarchy. The abuse that's described, and the resultant cover up, is shocking.
Sports Buzz Obviously some people are still grappling with knowing what to do if someone is getting raped on their watch. This flowchart ought to clear things up.
Culture Buzz Just when you think this awful story couldn't get any worse. Mark Madden, the sports writer in Pennsylvania who first broke the Jerry Sandusky child rape story, now claims that Sandusky is rumored to have sold children for sex to wealthy donors. Here's a radio clip of Madden discussing an investigation into the stomach-turning allegations.
Culture Buzz So I thought this had already happened, but planking is definitely over now, right? When a trend is used to voice support for a man who enabled a child molester that's the end of the trend. It's over.
Culture Buzz All of these are actual quotes from real Penn State students. So much stupid.
Sports Buzz Just a simple reminder for deciding if the situation merits a riot. Thanks, Animaniacs!
Culture Buzz Here's how (some) Penn State students reacted to the firing of Coach Joe Paterno. If you didn't already know, Paterno was fired because he found out his assistant coach was molesting children back in 2002 and didn't do anything about it. All of this is so sickening.
Penn State is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Penn State.

In what can only be a deemed a cowardly move by Penn State administration, Joe Paterno’s scheduled press conference this afternoon has been canceled. If you can't handle the heat, don't sexually assault young boys?
The intern in charge of CNN's chyron won't be showing up for work tomorrow. Spelling goofs aside, this whole Sandusky story is way more sad than funny.
Culture Buzz The Princeton Review has come out with their annual list of the Top 20 Party Schools in the United States. This list probably influences the decision of prospective university students more than we'd care to admit. Here are the Top 10 with school appropriate photos. 11 thru 20 only warrant an honorable mention.

School is back in session and we’re all starting to get a feel for our new classes. And by “get a feel,” I mean see which classes don’t take attendance. Unfortunately, not every professor has a liberal attendance policy, and you’re bound to have at least one that thinks the purpose of college is to learn, meaning attendance is probably part of your grade. Fortunately, that still doesn’t mean you have to show up for class. Just use one of the excuses below and you’ll never have to go to that 8 a.m.
