Althouse: "Kansas State University Marching Band Accidentally Performs Sex Scene."

September 7, 2015

"Kansas State University Marching Band Accidentally Performs Sex Scene."

"After a public apology, K-State's band director was ultimately forced to respond and explain how, no, they weren't trying to show a rival jayhawk fellating anything, it was supposed to be a sci-fi battle, and he provided the drill routine blueprint to prove it...."

And am not interested in it.; 9/7/15, 8:37 AM
Eric the Fruit Bat said...: Somewhere out there is a guy so completely neurotic that he can't have sex because he's afraid that a vagina will bite his pecker off so he has to get blowjobs, instead.; 9/7/15, 8:43 AM
rhhardin said...: Is this the same band that Jean Shepherd described long ago, as doing a giant hypodermic needle injecting formation, no in the era of getting high.; 9/7/15, 8:45 AM
Ignorance is Bliss said...: I think this deserves a things are exactly what they seem tag. I call bullshit on the accident part.; 9/7/15, 8:47 AM
Virgil Hilts said...: The "battle between space ships" excuse would have been more convincing if they had shown little phaser torpedo bursts (generated by the Enterprise's two phaser batteries) fired into the vulnerable maw of the Jayhawk cruiser.; 9/7/15, 8:48 AM
Nichevo said...: Unbelievable. Althouse, this is one of the many things you have destroyed: back in the day, when you saw something that you didn't understand, you would have the sense and shame to keep it to yourself and ask about it quietly later. Not to make a big stink. Your generation seems to be fond of the stink. Which is probably why you like tiny houses, bad arts and evil causes and people.; 9/7/15, 8:50 AM
Bill said...: Too many folk watch too much porn.; 9/7/15, 9:02 AM

Wilbur said...: Marching bands should play marching music. They sound terrible playing anything else.

45 years ago somebody decided to make marching band music RELEVANT. Sousa and that crap was military music, mannn. We can play cool tunes like "Spinning Wheel" and then we'll be cool, too.

"AND NOW ,,, Our marching 300 and their salute to the band Chicago!"; 9/7/15, 9:10 AM
David Begley said...: How could the band director be so dense? The band members are laughing behind his back.; 9/7/15, 9:14 AM
Nichevo said...: I did not say that you flew to whatever college campus this was and arranged it. I'm saying that in the world created by you and your element, this is the kind of thing that happens. And that you batten on such news items. We're you a fan of the cartoon Beavis and Butt-head?; 9/7/15, 9:21 AM
Michael K said...: Powerline also has a piece on it. Trivia doesn't quite cover it.; 9/7/15, 9:24 AM

Damn. Someone wrote a Shouting Thomas comment generator and I wasn't informed?; 9/7/15, 9:35 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: I didn't know the Band Director was Laslo Spatula.........; 9/7/15, 9:36 AM
Bob Ellison said...: Hilts, lol.; 9/7/15, 9:50 AM
Dagwood said...: The part most folks seem to miss is the mentality on display that K-State must take potshots against its in-state (and, in many ways academically superior) rival in a contest against a South Dakota school. Seems less a case of bad NSFW taste than a case of step-child school syndrome.; 9/7/15, 10:27 AM
Scott said...: Everything's
concave or 'vex
and as such
has to do with sex.

tim maguire said...: It was a bit chaotic and, as has been pointed out, phasers should have been fired--the enterprise does not fight by crashing into the other ship. But I had to watch a few times to figure out what the sex act was supposed to be. Some people watch too much porn.; 9/7/15, 11:22 AM
Wince said...: Betcha didn't know the Jayhawk had such a strong gag reflex.; 9/7/15, 11:41 AM
traditionalguy said...: Leave the Jayhawks alone. Every team mascot should chose to have sex on the field any way it desires. What are you bunch of fundies saying? Are you animal sexphobics?

Freud said there would be days like this.; 9/7/15, 12:00 PM
JoyD said...: Your answer to Nichevo was the child's "who, me?"

This is just silly and not worth your time. But you do stoop to the juvenile lures from time to time.; 9/7/15, 12:44 PM
Sydney said...: The Enterprise wasn't done very well, hence the confusion. They're no Ohio State Marching Band.; 9/7/15, 2:34 PM
Birches said...: I think this deserves a things are exactly what they seem tag. I call bullshit on the accident part.

I guarantee the kids knew what they were doing even if the director didn't.; 9/7/15, 3:03 PM
RecChief said...: it looked like a marching band Star Trek Enterprise. y'all have some dirty minds. is that what the 60s were all about? free love and porn Rohrshack tests>?; 9/7/15, 4:22 PM
The Godfather said...: "This post is entirely made up of quotes from elsewhere." @Althouse: Hillary! could say exactly the same thing. It's neither an excuse nor an explanation.

Take ownership of it! I, for one, would applaud you. Perhaps I'm the only one, but take my word for it, that's better than none.; 9/7/15, 4:45 PM
mccullough said...: Wildcats is too common of a nickname.; 9/7/15, 5:20 PM
JAORE said...: The K State kids are so well behaved and tasteful that they were required to sigh a pledge to NOT repeat their actions that brought embarrassment to the school last year.

Seems the pledge did not have the desired effect.

Carnifex said...: Bah! Anything that makes fun of the Gayhawks is allowable. They got Dukes attitude, with Cincinatti's trophy case. We hang horse thieves in Kentucky, not Helms Banners.; 9/7/15, 10:51 PM
JAORE said...: If you hang horse thieves in Kentucky, why is Cal still alive?

But I do like the place you play basketball. Named for a Kansas grad, of course.; 9/7/15, 11:21 PM
