Sex sells. Teen sex causes controversy. An ad for department store chain J.C. Penney earned honors at Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival last week, sparking not only a viral marketing epidemic, but a corporate blame game bloggers are having a field day with.

Dear Gigolo Joe: I've had a roommate for a long time, and the one thing that keeps bothering me about him is the fridge. We really are at a loss for how to divide space in it. And a lot of times, I find my food gone or partially eaten because my roomie loves to eat (to say it nicely).

Officer Brandon Qualls is an example for all students on Ball State University's campus. He had a dream, and he went out and achieved it.
He didn't see his college days as the best times of his life, but instead used his passion to get a job at the University Police Department while in school.

My friends advised me for weeks that I had to see "Iron Man." I resisted, citing the utter lack of quality in the majority of recent movies and recent action movies in particular. They said this one is different; see it and you will understand. On Father's Day, I relented and saw it with my family, subsequently continuing my streak of making incorrect decisions based on preconception.

That time of the year is upon us again. It's that dreaded week where young adults from all over the country trek to a small plot outside Bushnell to camp out and listen to the live bands at the Cornerstone Festival.
I was minding my own business in the toothpaste aisle of everyone's favorite one-stop-shopping outlet when I suddenly found myself in a conversation with a polite elderly woman.

Buckminster Fuller's history of education demonstrates how the elite of the military-industrial-governmental complex keeps many of us in the dark. When we are in the dark, we can be more easily manipulated without being aware of it.
Fuller's history of specialization in schools and universities shows that the Great Pirates established a land-based home and made someone the Governor.

Another baby boom may be upon us: 17 young girls between the ages of 15 and 17 from Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Mass. are expecting babies this summer after agreeing to become pregnant and raise their children together.
And they are not completely alone - according to the Centers for Disease Control, the number of teenage girls - specifically 15 to 19-year-olds - is on the rise.

I've had the opportunity to talk to some college-graduated persons whom I know from my hometown and most of them have described college as a time for immature high school kids to receive university-level educations, to get involved in student organizations and have fun, and to become more mentally and emotionally mature in their lives.

At Chicago's gay pride parade Sunday afternoon, I saw an outlandish collection of freaks and degenerates, out and proud for something inherently shameful. I'm talking about the protestors.
Near the end of the parade's route on the corner of Pine Grove and Diversey, wooden riot-control barricades and a few disinterested-looking cops surrounded about 20 or 30 fundamentalist Christians.

Former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama recently severed an apparent "silent treatment" that ran strong for the length of the campaign. And in perhaps even bigger news, Hillary Clinton recently stated she has merged paths with her ex-rival.

I remember O-REG. It was my first introduction into the wonderful networking world of Facebook. It was awesome! All my college friends were on there, even ones I had never met, and we used it to coordinate interests and events. We could upload incriminating pictures, talk trash on each others' walls, and all kinds of college-age shenanigans.

There are some bathrooms in the union that stink. They emit a noxious mix of stale cinnamon air freshener that barely masks the particulate they were engineered to cover.
On good days the smell is contained to the bathrooms themselves. But on bad days the frontier of stench is expansive.

The decision to cut Eastern's wrestling program last summer was met with heated debate and overwhelming public support on both sides.
'Save EIU Wrestling' signs were posted in front yards all over town. Forums were held on campus to save wrestling, but in the end, it was no match for strict NCAA rules.

It took 217 years, but the U.S. Supreme Court finally made a decision Thursday about what the ambiguous nightmare we call the Second Amendment means. Yes, owning a gun is an individual right. But, no, your right to pack heat isn't absolute, especially if you want to own an Uzi.

It's that time of the year again, the time when students receive their annual gift from the Board of Regents: a tuition hike. Given inflation, it's an unfortunate reality that tuition may need to be raised over time. But what is uncertain is if the rate of increase over the past few years has been justified.

Something is amiss.
A week and two days has passed since the state of California began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but the sky is still in place, and generally some shade of blue.
People are still dying and paying taxes, the sun is still rising every day, north is north and south is south and Don Imus is saying stupid things.
