I love when internet culture sneaks into real life

As I was leaving my programming exam in the computer science building tonight, I noticed they had put up a new kiosk outside. We staple flyers to these things to advertise for events and such. Student groups (including ours) have been whining for a while now that there aren't enough on campus, so I was pretty excited to see a new one. I was more excited when I read the lone flyer someone had pinned on.Wait a second, what does that say? Let's zoom in a bit:
I love internet culture so much. I should expect nothing less from computer science students, but I still love it. I feel like I'm in some secret club that only the cool kids know about. Good to know we have silly comment trolls for tangible objects.

(And I apologize for the crappy photos. Only had my camera on me, and I got out of my exam at 9 pm)

  3. Awesome. There is a new one outside Lilly too. Finally, only a year after the no-flyers-on-the-ground rule went into effect, they're listening to us about needing places to post things.

    Me too. It's quite silly, seeing as a bajillion people know about it, but it's fun nonetheless.

  4. YES! I love all of that.

  5. That's pretty awesome. Of course, a creepier thing that always weirds me out is when I'm going around someplace, and I hear someone say something that -directly- references something that only a limited section of the internet knows of.

    Bonus points for it not being at a place like, I don't know, an anime convention, or any particularly geeky location.

  6. Andre: by the CS building on Purdue's campus is at least fairly geeky, but I agree. :-]

    I didn't know that they finally banned sidewalk postings. Probably for the best... I don't know how many times I took longer routes to things during particular weeks to see what was going on around campus. :-P

  7. Sorry, I was vague. I meant if the reference in general, not this particular one, was in a not particularly geeky place. I agree completely that this one here was in a geeky place.
