On my first day of classes, I received the following:
1 poster commemorating BU Hockey winning nationals last season
1 poster highlighting upcoming events of campus
1 cupcake
1 danish
2 cans of Venom Energy Drink
3 cans of Red Bull
1 bottle of bubbles
4 flyers for campus organizations
3 flyers of propaganda
I didn't necessarily want all this stuff. Perhaps it's telltale that I'm new to the city; I just simply take what I'm handed (lemons?). Fortunately, with a small smirk on my face, I turned down a poster of Obama with a Hitler mustache. I hate sensationalists.
Of greatest amusement was, in fact, the propaganda.
One such leaflet read "Where Will You Spend Eternity?" on folded blue paper. The answer was presumably inside, but I wasn't interested. This flyer sure had some brass telling me where my eternity will be.
Another, even more entertaining, read, "10 out of 10 Doctors Recommend Jesus". I almost laughed out loud when I realized what I was holding in my hand. Sure enough, testimonials, hilarious in their own right, from ten Jewish doctors are included. My assumption is that these are the only ten. Anywhere. Ever. What the pamphlet really means is this. "10 out of the 10 Doctors that Recommend Jesus, Recommend Jesus." So much of their argument.
By no means do I have an objection to free food, or even energy drinks for that matter. But I really need to learn to resist taking every sheet of printed bullshit someone hands me, only for it to end up in my trash bin later that evening.
As for the 'Obama = Hitler' posters? Let me know when Obama kills 6 million people for being "inferior", then we'll talk.
