School newspapers have been known to indulge in a few ridiculous stories in the light-hearted spirit of April Fool’s day: claiming changes in meal plans are forthcoming, including silly animal pictures, or writing an article joking about sexual assault. No, we’re (unfortunately) not kidding.

This masterful demonstration in the fine art of bad taste was published by Boston University’s Daily Free Press, an award-winning student run newspaper.

The article (available here) was clearly designed as a joke, with repeated Disney references, in keeping with the theme of the rest of the paper.

The article includes hilarious faux-quotes from a source named Pocahontas, including, “…most of all I want to be able to party without worrying about being gangbanged by a bunch of short hairy BROS.” Oh, Disney characters worrying about gang rape… Gets us every time.

Besides the questionable content, the story may also hit especially close to home for Boston University students, given that star hockey player Matt Nicastro was recently arrested on charges of rape.

Perhaps the Daily Free Press also managed to forget the other pending case against hockey player Corey Trivino on charges of indecent assault and breaking and entering.

Thankfully, the Daily Free Press has already issued this apology letter for their momentary lapse in sanity and good taste.
