This is Not a Parody

If you've watched any Duke basketball games recently, you've probably seen this commercial

Is this really going to convince anyone to go to Duke? It's like they're not even trying to counter the stereotype of the Duke student as a pasty anti-social loser (maybe it's not a stereotype?).

The best part comes at 0:09 in the video when the two guys walking down the sidewalk bump fists. For some reason, it kills me every time. I like to imagine what they're saying to each other (post yours in the comments):

  • "Did you see the new cheer sheet?" "You know it!"
  • "I'm going to dress up as a monkey at the next basketball game!" "What a great idea, that's so clever!"
  • "We go to Duke!" "I know, it's totally radical!"
  • "Let's not tell anyone that we had butt sex." "Good idea."
  • "Halfway to being a 40-year old virgin!"
Update: Coach_Ghey from Yardbarker came through with the screencap:

It shows that Durham actually has good race relations despite what the folks over at A&T; might have to say.

Dude...Duke lost. And by so much. I had to stop watching the game with 9 minutes left to go to the airport and they were up 61-60. They only scored 12 points after that.

And the women lost too.

I'm so bummed.

"Right now I'm pre-med, but ask me again next week and it might be different."

The following was:

a) A Dookie douche explaining how he tries to pick up Jewish-American Princesses (JAPs);
b) What every parent paying $40K/year+ wants to hear;
c) A Dook student athlete still trying to figure out how he gets a "prestigious" degree after only earning 90 credits; or
d) All of the above

And much thanks to Wake. Go on a late run and squeeze your way into the tourney too. Four ACC teams would be an embarassment.

Douchebaggery
Undermines
K's

Duke is to race relations in Durham as Greivis Vazquez is to virginity in College Park.

@Jeremy: A&T;'s in Greensboro. N.C. Central is in Durham. BTW: I lived in Durham for three years, and race relations there were no worse than anywhere else.

Whatever race relations WERE in Durham prior to Nifong and the Duke Lacrosse fiasco, I'm sure they're not great now.
