Another Offensive College Writer
This guy and that U-Colorado writer would be best friends. He'll probably also use the 'it was satire' excuse. Here is the article: "I believe that this building will dramatically reduce the amount of Asian suicides at Cornell," Skorton announced. "We also plan to fill in the gorges with those chewy bubble tea orbs so that distraught students will have to rely on other methods."
Among the centers many features are the Pokemon Card Trading Arena, the Mi-So Slipi Lounge equipped with 100 beds for study break naps, and one-seater dining areas with calculators built into the tables. Many students are most excited, however, about the center's Lucky Sun Moon Restaurant, which features MSG, beef with broccoli, and cat-fish casserole, which incorporates not catfish but a mixture of cat and flounder.
More from the article:
Most Asian students jumped for joy upon hearing the news. Student Mi-So Honee remarked, “Is so close to libelly!”
Other students were appreciative that the name was changed from the Little Rice Room Place. “Besides being a sirry name, I couldn’t rearry pronounce arr those R and Ls,” said Henry Joon-Kimyung-Jook.
ED’S NOTE: I’m not really this lacist… but then, again maybe everyone is

this kind of reminds me of halloween. you know, when people can buy "exotic oriental costumes" or other tasteless race-specific costumes. april 1st gives people an excuse to say and do all kinds of shit. i find this article real funny. har. har. har. you'd think that after all the dance hype the lounge would at least come with like, a dance studio. oh wait, that would be far too cool.
The article was taken down, here is the link to the "Open Apology for a Bad Joke"
