Miami (Oh) Editorial Is Butthurt Over Hilarious, “Offensive” House Names
When you’re walking amongst the houses at Miami of Ohio, you will find that instead of numbers, some houses are labeled by names. Some are funny, some are dumb, and some are in between. These include names such as: Jager Stadium, Sex On The Beech, Plan B, The Great Fratsby, and Tequila Mockingbird. My personal favorite is “Cherry Poppins.” It’s a simple, yet hilarious, take on Mary Poppins and what I assume is some cherry dessert she made.
It’s all in good fun, unless you’re this unnamed staff writer for The Miami Student. They take offense to some of the names because this is America 2015 and everyone has to be offended by something. They claim the names are degrading, sexist, and racist.
From The Miami Student:
House names such as “Smack My Bishop” and “How I Met Your Daughter” hold the same sentiment. These house names are nothing more than an ever-present equal to the sexist and disrespectful banners that caused controversy at Ohio State University two weeks ago.
How are these disrespectful? At some point in time, a dad’s daughter will meet a guy and the story will be called “How I Met Your Daughter.” Smack My Bishop is an awesome play on words. It reminds me of the time when Baseball Tonight was doing highlights for a Rangers game and said “Is Mitch going to have to hit a pitch?” when he hammered a home run. That’s funny, not disrespectful. This person needs to get their head outta their ass.
They don’t stop there, though. They think that there is one inherently racist house that needs to be stopped.
The one house that stands at the pinnacle of obscenity is “Plantation,” the large white colonial that bears an eerie resemblance to a slaveholder’s mansion. This house name is blatantly and unforgivingly racist.
This writer really just claimed that the word “plantation” is racist. Well, I’ll be damned. I guess that means the PGA’s own Kapalua Plantation course in Hawaii is racist. Shame on the PGA for being associated with such a word.
Maybe this writer should stop trying to tell people what to interpret as funny or offensive. He or she will enjoy life a lot more..

10 years ago at 10:27 amI’m fucking so sick of these easily offended pussies whining and crying over everything that isn’t about loving gays or black people. The leaders of the pussification of America, fuck off and die.
10 years ago at 10:28 amAgreed. Back in the good ol days we would tar and feather pussy liberals who complained about stupid shit. Thinking it might have to make a comeback. First victim will be Steve Holt.
10 years ago at 11:26 amTry less
10 years ago at 9:15 pmI don’t know why you bothered putting “he or she” at the end… clearly a woman
10 years ago at 10:30 amYou’d be surprised at the amount of GDIs that think “standing up” for women’s rights will get them laid.
10 years ago at 11:03 amSchool newspapers are a fucking joke. It’s just all the most liberal students on campus jerking each other off about how sexist/racist/antis emetic/elitist the school is and how great and brave they are for being liberal and not Greek.
10 years ago at 10:31 amOurs is constantly the brunt of jokes. It was epitomized though when one of the “reporters” was taking pictures of first responders replying to a bomb threat. She was trying to “report” news but instead was just giving away their positions when apparently the “bomber” was in the building still. She got called out and ever since, nobody has bothered to read the Daily as far as I know. Same shit happened with the Boston Bombers, they used the news to tell them where the cops were.
10 years ago at 12:02 pmCome to think of it, almost all news is a joke now. Pussification of America.
10 years ago at 12:03 pmThe stupidest thing my school’s newspaper did that I can remember was some jack ass who claimed his dad’s career was in the military was crying about how the pledge of allegiance was misogynistic and racist or whatever and kept referring to the American flag as the “stars and bars” instead of the “stars and stripes”. Fucking idiots can go stroke themselves off to Bernie Sanders’ ugly ass receding hairline.
10 years ago at 2:31 pmWords and names only have the connotations people associate with them. If someone is offended by something that has no effect on them that’s their issue, and they should seek personal help before spewing diatribe against innocent college kids.
10 years ago at 10:32 amThis PC shit is getting really fucking old. Those names are hilarious.
10 years ago at 10:38 amnot sure how a house that was part of the Underground Railroad can be that offensive
10 years ago at 10:45 amPolitically correct liberals are ruining society. We need to put an end to it. Trump 2016! Make America Great Again!
10 years ago at 10:48 amYour username suggests you may be SteveHolt’s biological father. So fuck you for not pulling out, you drunk dumbass piece of shit.
10 years ago at 12:00 pmThis makes me want to punch the nearest liberal.
10 years ago at 11:01 amPrime example of how geeds are trying to ruin our school with their liberal bullshit
