College Students Mock Bristol Palin in Hoax Event
It seems that campus progressives are at their most creative when staging hoaxes.
The most recent example comes from the University of Pennsylvania. Cortney O’Brien of Townhall.com has the details:
Fliers scattered around the University of Pennsylvania campus read that Bristol Palin was going to be this year’s fall speaker. Penn’s Special Events and Planning Committee had apparently made its highly anticipated announcement and decided to host the advertised Teen Pregnancy Prevention Spokesperson, leaving some students dazed and confused.

Those posters turned out to be a hoax. Under the Button, UPenn’s “24/7 source for all things Penn,” apparently took the time to create the fake advertisements just to write this charming description on their web page,
A proud teen mama, (and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ambassador…huh,) Bristol Palin has travelled the U.S. advocating for abstinence, earning her the name “The Worst Person In The World”. Now, thanks to some questionably-legit fliers, she’s coming to Penn! No offense B, but Penn kids are active, and the university dishes out more free condoms than acceptance letters. But hey, make yourself at home, just don’t be shocked when we choose bad sex over no sex.
I hope the ink and paper these students wasted was worth it….
On UPenn SPEC’s Facebook page, they condoned and even applauded the poster hoax.
Contrary to Under the Button’s story this morning, Bristol Palin will not be our fall speaker. However, we congratulate the masterminds of this hoax for their poster-making skills and flyer-ing tactics! We look forward to announcing our fall speaker in the coming week!
These students’ hoax may have been “all in good fun,” but it wasn’t all in good taste. After the negative media attention Palin received for her unplanned pregnancy during her mom’s vice presidential campaign, she has been an ambassador for pro-life and pro-family causes. By doing so, this 23-year-old has managed to change a negative into a positive. She even shared her joyful life with her son in a Lifetime documentary called, “Life’s a Tripp,” proving that from an unplanned pregnancy can come a blessing, not just a regret.That’s a message any college student should hear.

Comments
They’re mocking Bristol Palin? These students need to look in the mirror.
Bristol made a mistake, and picked her life up. On the way, she’s had some well paid gigs which she invested in a home, practical education as a dental assistant (or something like that), so she’s debt free, independent, and has a measure of financial security.
The ones who are mocking her, what have they got? D E B T from their expensive and wasted Penn State education.
Go ahead and mock Bristol, twits; one day she might hire one of you to do a part time low wage job, which is all y’all will be able to do when Obama is done.
