Did ya hear about the Penn kid who broke into the dormitory rooms of female students and stole their underwear? Yeah.. creepy. A little awesome, too.

Yet, all the Daily Pennsylvanian opinion bloggers could get out of that was a snide masturbation joke directed at engineering students.

I might have gone with, “Police refused to comment on what happened to the perpetrator’s underwear.”

Actually, that’s what The Spin, DP’s opinion blog, is, a constant reminder that while perhaps dumber, poorer, less successful and celebrated than Penn kids, we are definitely smarter funnier. All in 300-word posts with dead punch lines (see the hilarious DP jabs at Indiana University of Pennsylvania).
