Yeah they really should've thought things through...

Quote
After renaming its law school after late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, George Mason University renamed it again after unintentionally sparking a storm of delightfully immature jokes about the resulting acronym, “ASSoL.”

The school first announced it would change the law school’s name to The Antonin Scalia School of Law on March 31 to honor the court’s revered and reviled conservative, who died on Feb. 13 at the age of 79. The Fairfax, Virginia-based school decided to revise the moniker in order to claim $20 million from an anonymous donor who called for the change as part of the deal. Billionaire conservative activist Charles Koch donated another $10 million to the high-caliber law school known for its conservative legal curriculum.

But the school’s Board of Visitors, who approved the initial change, either forgot to eyeball the acronym, or overestimated the maturity of the public.

The jokes and jabs were plentiful, as a Twitter search for #ASSoL or #ASSLaw can show.

All I can say to that is



I'm sure Justice Scalia would have taken that in good humor.  Smile

A Great Heart to stand me by.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
