What irrelevant story made you shake your head and roll your eyes in disgust?

  1. 30.47% Scramble bands from Yale and Princeton were reprimanded for being sort of lame. The Yale Precision Marching Band was offensive at the Harvard/Yale game, while Princeton made no friends at the Citadel. (They broke my clarinet!) Meanwhile, UC-Davis and Wisconsin marching bands seem to be in continual trouble. "I (heart) BOOBS." Really?
  2. 39.06% UC-Berkeley's 21-month tree-sit finally came to an end this September. I honestly can't even remember what all of the hubbub was about.
  3. 9.38% Out of nowhere, a lower drinking age is big news again. It's a nonstory because honestly, wasn't this always a nonstarter?
  4. 13.28% Yale had so many art scandals this year. First, there's the crazy "did she or didn't she" abortion art display in April, and then, the school was sued for expelling a 19-year-old grad student in July for being immature. Duh.
  5. 7.81% Steve & Barry's files for bankruptcy. But where am I supposed to buy cheap T-shirts now!?
