I'm a student at W&M right now, but next semester, Spring 2010, I will be transferring to LU. I really like the idea of a University teaching every subject from a Christian point of view.
What is with all the "Rich Kid" comments about William and Mary? As far as I can find, it will cost $16,000 to attend LU in 2009-10, while it will cost the average in-state undergraduate at William and Mary a little more than $10,000. While we do have a population of rich out-of-state students here, I would say a vast majority of kids here are not rich- just smart.
William and Mary offers a MUCH better education than LU- and we care more about that than football. This is why we win.
Michael Musto of The Village Voice boasted that Tinky Winky was "out and proud," noting that it was "a great message to kids — not only that it's OK to be gay, but the importance of being well accessorized."
All this appeared before Falwell made his first mention of Tinky Winky.
In the Nexis archives for 1998 alone, there are dozens and dozens of mentions of Tinky Winky being gay — in periodicals such as Newsweek, The Toronto Star, The Washington Post (twice!), The New York Times and Time magazine (also twice).
In its Jan. 8, 1999, issue, USA Today accused The Washington Post of "outing" Tinky Winky, with a "recent Washington Post In/Out list putting T.W. opposite Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche, essentially 'outing' the kids' show character."
Beginning in early 1998, the news was bristling with stories about a children's cartoon PBS was importing from Britain that featured a gay cartoon character, Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubbie with a male voice and a red handbag.
People magazine gleefully reported that Teletubbies was "aimed at Telebabies as young as 1 year. But teenage club kids love the products' kitsch value, and gay men have made the purse-toting Tinky Winky a camp icon."
It was in his publication, and he made this statement afterwards:
"[W]hile I'd like to laugh along with those who are encouraging concerned parents and critics to 'lighten up' about children's programming in general, and the Teletubbies in particular, I find this issue far too important to the future and well-being of our children," Falwell said Feb. 10, after the coverage had abated. "As a Christian, I believe that role-modelling the gay lifestyle is damaging to the moral lives of children."
I've been told both ways so it's hard to tell if it was good or not. The thing that most of us were upset about is that the ref on the LU side made the spot when the ball was ran towards the W&M side. As for our fans being wanks, you have absolutely no room to talk. I've never been treated as bad at any game, ever, as I was at W&M. We had kids walk up to us and tell us they were glad Jerry Falwell was dead. W&M was the epitome of "lack of class" during that game.

I was down on the other end of the field--maybe about the goal line or 5 yd line and saw the whole thing--it was a good spot.
And your fans were a bunch of wanks.

I miss him, myself. Without his guidance I would've been caught up by the gay Teletubbies propaganda machine.

You realize Jerry wasn't the one that said that, right? I'm being serious. He wasn't the one that said that.
