The Globe Democrat is reporting on a “prank” that is giving everyone fits at Mizzou:

University of Missouri Columbia students spoke out at a Town Hall meeting Monday night after an incident at the Black Culture Center early Friday morning where someone left cotton balls on the ground in front of the building.

Oh I get it.  Because all the black kids that go to Mizzou were slaves not long ago and picked cotton!  …oh wait. Half these kids probably didn’t even get the lame joke until someone explained it to them.  Nothing is funnier than a joke that needs explanation or references events from over 100 years ago.  Hilarious.  Sure this is offensive, but its more offensive that someone thought this was going to play on some level.  This is like telling industrial revolution jokes.

Start off your week with some hot linking action!
