Two months ago, John Sieglinger of Raleigh removed his raiment and ran across the field at halftime of the East Carolina University-Southern Miss football game. Three days after that, The East Carolinian student paper published uncensored photos of Sieglinger's Streak on its front page and its website, sparking moral apoplexy among dongphobic school administrators.

At halftime of the East Carolina University-Southern Miss football game on Saturday, John Sieglinger of Raleigh bravely stormed the field wearing nothing but his manhood. Nothing unusual about a streaker down Carolina way. Sieglinger was charged with misdemeanor trespassing and misdemeanor indecent exposure. Nothing unusual about that either. On Tuesday, however, The East Carolinian student paper put unusually uncensored photos of Sieglinger's romp on its front page and on its website, which has resulted in much hand-wringing by university administrators. Come now. Come. This is the Internet Epoch. Some students put a streaker's dong on the front page. Lighten up. (Whoever signed off on that editorial decision might also consider applying for an internship here.) More »
