The amount of blatantly wrong information in this "campus tour" is disturbing. And this is supposed to represent an Ivy League institution?! How disappointing. Yale should use more discretion in choosing its representatives -- or make sure they have their basic facts straight, at the very least.
I found it to be quite refreshing and enjoyed the sense of humor with the Big Liebowski theme on Halloween. Let's face it, most people on a tour aren't really interested in the nitty gritty details and this was presented in a comical way that helped to discard the notion of Ivy League "stuffiness" and certainly made the school more attractive to those on the tour. But thanks for your comment !!!!
There's nothing wrong with the theme or even taking a comedic approach to giving a campus tour -- my issue is that pretty much everything he said about Nathan Hale was completely wrong. I doubt UVA would be so cavalier about Thomas Jefferson, for example. Not to mention other Yale tour guides repeat the same misinformation on a regular basis... someone really needs to get with the program at the visitor center. Why would I want to send my kid to a school that can't even get its own facts right?
@superspelunker I know what you mean. Seriously. Among other things Nathan was DENIED a Bible before he was executed...I mean, this would have been funny-if I had no brain.
@munnonockspirit I thought it was funny. Perhaps evidence of lack of a brain. Or maybe just evidence of a sense of humor and not taking things too damn seriously. Regardless, thanks for your post.
It took 12 VX shells to kill an entire city of Kurds (3,000+) by Saddam. Not 1 shell was dated before 1983 & later than 1987. Newport, IN Chem Wpns Depot had enough VX to kill the entire US Eastern Seaboard, but it was manufactured 1966-196;, Anniston, AL had a matching amount & same dates. Was it all duds too? LV,NV & Sierra, CA had same Chem Depots too. Were they all duds? 12 155mm VX shells killed 3,000 people. Enough to kill both seaboards twice? Duds? Wanna smack a shell on the nose?
Green means COPPER oxide stupid...Bronze has what? Copper in it? CIA was established in 1947, not 1969; it was formerly the OSS. Bonesmen, you know the truth! I Regret That I Have But 1 Life To Give For My Country!
BTW, we found 2500+ chemical munitions in Iraq. Nancy Pelosi said that they're all duds. She didn't get a hammer to smack them on the nose to see if they're duds. Cannon balls from 1778, 1863, and munitions from 1942 have killed how many? They were duds, weren't they?
Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for putting up this video.

Why? Because Yale is a great institution that is allowed to have a sense of humor.

@nosyfieldstone There is a difference between humor and disrespect. People blur that line too often.
And yes, I do take things seriously. And I take pride in the fact. It helps a person go places.
And you're welcome.
