Description
Okay, here's the deal...as to why Liberty is sponsoring movies as crude as the Waterboy and the Wedding Singer, I am unsure; and because God's glory is, quite frankly, more important than a Christian school sponsoring movies such as these, I encourage you all to tear down every flyer you see today and strongly discourage anyone from going. Are we just going to claim to be a Christian school, or are we going to follow through with that claim into action?

[SuperJon]

Nope. Not the same kid.

[JDUB]

so there are 2 people who are off their rocker

[Cider Jim]

I've never seen the Wedding Singer, but I do know that Waterboy is the most watched "sports movie" of all time--and very funny if you like southern humor.

[RagingTireFire]

When I can no longer watch "The Waterboy" will be when I know that the terrorists have won.

For the record, dude in the middle is the Big Whiner.

[Fumblerooskies]

I have not seen the Wedding Singer...but I am rather surprised they are showing The Waterboy. Of course, while I was at JMU...we got The Last Tango in Paris

Apparently, sleeping with other dudes is now allowed

[jcmanson]

I agree with this kid.

[RagingTireFire]

I agree with this kid.

Do you have a beard? Just curious.

No

[TDDance234]

I agree that those two prob. aren't the best movies to show, staging a protest is retarded.

[thepostman]

the second I saw the flyers up I wondered to myself how long it would take for something like this to happen...

[El Scorcho]

Refer to Fumblerooskies signature for my thoughts on this.

[BJWilliams]

In all honesty this guy does not know when to pick his battles very well.

[Cider Jim]

FYI--His facebook profile states that he is both a Religion major and an RA (and I'm wondering if he has seen either movie).

[bigsmooth]

big deal......kid has no clue.

[SuperJon]

So if I make fun of him on here, is he going to turn me in for harassment or is it ok to make fun of people for being complete (other word for donkey)?

(Edited due to overzealous RAs like Jarrod Stillings from Dorm 23-3)

[Fumblerooskies]

Yeah...you might get hosed again. I think the posted picture says it all.

[SuperJon]

FYI--His facebook profile states that he is both a Religion major and an RA (and I'm wondering if he has seen either movie).

In other words he's a dork with no friends. Gotcha.

Let's go build a campfire and sing Kumbayah.

Hey now.

Let's work this out. This kid thinks that there's too much sex or swearing in these movies. Student life has been known to edit movies so things will be bleeped. We can count on that. So what's left is sex. The wedding singer? Maybe I could see him being upset, but the waterboy? I think it's pretty obvious that this kid has never seen that movie. Here's the sex/nudity info from screenit.com

We see a brief closeup of Coach Klein's bare butt as he shows a tattoo on it.

To taunt Bobby, another player says, "I'll be playing with your mama tonight."

Two women at a party approach Bobby and ask if he's seeing any women. Not understanding the dating implication, he says that he sees women and men too. One of the college women, misunderstanding him in return, comments that she finds that (her presuming he's bisexual) sexy. He then comments that he was with his Mama and Coach Klein the other night (and she says, "You are a bad boy").

After kissing Bobby and learning that it was the first time he's done that, Vicki undoes her top and exposes her bare breasts to him (we only see his reaction). He gets uncomfortable, however, and has her leave.

Bobby tells Mama, "I like Vicki, and she likes me back. And she showed me her boobies, and I like them too."

We see a brief shot of the local sheriff and his deputy partying on New Year's Eve with champagne and their shirts off (implying comic homosexuality).

Vicki briefly comments that she'll later, and properly, introduce Bobby to manhood.

While hugging Vicki after breaking down about being an unattractive geek, a man briefly gropes her clothed breast.

Bobby is confused about what's going to happen on his wedding night, and a bystander in the crowd yells, "Do it. You can do it," while swiveling his hips in somewhat of a sexual manner.

Seriously guy? Come on.

don't you get reps for being part of a protest?

[El Scorcho]

You certainly can.

[LUconn]

I think his tearing down of posters could be viewed as civil disobedience. Do 2 wrongs make a right? I think this guy needs to retake a few GNED classes.
