Elton John Sucks at Soccer?
14 years ago

Last week the photo below was posted on TFM in the Photo section. Apparently, a fraternity thought it would be funny to display a banner stating that “Obama is a GDI” during a campus visit from our Commander in Chief. I have to agree, it is pretty funny.

Today, a photo surfaced of a response from some GDI who didn’t find the banner as hilarious as I did.

Distasteful? How so? The members of the fraternity that made this sign were simply stating a fact: “Obama is a GDI.” That isn’t an opinion. Obama isn’t a fraternity man therefore he is a GDI. Nobody said anything about prerequisites for being the leader of the free world. I can only assume the sign they will create to greet Elton John will read: “Elton John is gay.” Again, this would be stating a matter of fact. If you said, “Mr. John what is your sexual orientation?” he would respond, “Elton John is gay.” Everyone knows Elton John is gay and only refers to himself in the third person. Furthermore, everyone knows it is tradition for all fraternities across the country to display banners with random, nonbiased facts about campus visitors to help inform the general public. We are just trying to educate America.

Thank you so much for spreading awareness that Obama doesn’t receive financial compensation for being a “bro.” Nobody is paid to be “bro,” because that doesn’t mean anything. There is no distinct characteristic that makes someone “bro.” I don’t care who you are, nobody is going to pay you for being an average American male and possessing the ability to “chill.”

In closing, Elton John is the gay Pelé.

UPDATE: New photo posted on TFM: Elton Sucks at Soccer

    I would also like to add that being a fraternity man and being a “bro” are two ENTIRELY different things.

    I think this is FUCKIN awesome. The fact that every president EVER has been to some degree a frat star, pretty much makes it a requirement.

      I have to disagree with you my friend, if you are going to trace the progressive movement, you cannot fail to mention Theodore Roosevelt as one of the first main proponents, who was in turn president before Wilson, so claiming Wilson to be founder of the Progressive Movement is just erroneous. It goes without saying that the Progressive Movement is inherently NF, but TR the man was undeniably FAF.

    this frat at penn state is lame…i would know i go here and am in one that isnt even the greatest here but is leaps and bounds above sig nu. i can see where this guy is coming from and he is saying that this wasnt that funny and more of a desperate plea to show that they too possess some frattiness then anything else. sig nu is kinda even gayer in my book for putting this shit on tfm. some geed came at your neck and you guys are shook. NF

      Your grammar is fucking terrible. Also, anyone who calls a fraternity a “frat” is automatically a huge geed, geed.

      FratState not knowing appropriate use of the words “fraternity” and “frat” = NF.

      Frat is a verb or adjective, Fraternity is a noun, Geed. Learn your vocab.
      So in closing Hazer Wolf go put on your cargos and high black socks that every other penn state “frat star” and continue to be a bro

      Actually, he’s right. Sigma Nu is lame. They’re a dry fraternity. Them calling Obama a GDI is like the pot calling the kettle black.

    That is the dumbest attempt by any frat ever and was clearly an insult. Sig Nu pull your geed controversial heads out of your ass and just own up to the fact that you all suck

      To quote a response below, “anyone who calls a fraternity a “frat” is automatically a huge geed, geed.”
