“PENN STATE” HAS “INCIDENT” WHERE “THINGS” “HAPPENED”
Words: they can be vague. From LA Now.“Police” visted the “apartment” of “Penn State football players” “last night.” Whatever they were doing, it led to some stuff being searched, some stuff being taken from the apartment, and some of the vaguest, limited, and narrowly circumscribed reportage ever set to paper/screen. The most meaningful thing from the entire piece:
At least four Penn State Police vehicles were at the scene — a Special Response Unit, two cruisers and an SUV.
There was no violence or struggle, but just in case the local police were coming loaded for bear and in numbers, which ESPN says is evidence Joe Paterno may or may not be running a ROGUE PROGRAM!!! Get me dramatic shots of the campus; a statue of Joe Paterno in focus, and then out of focus; interviews with local columnists who, after three seconds of thought, will make an opinion surprisingly in key with exactly what I want to hear. Get me Jeremy Schaap and his muppet voice NOW!
Do not confuse this with fact, but the fact-like substance floating around about the case is that it’s a combo noise violation and weed complaint sure to draw twice as much fire as it actually deserves in the press. (Touch that any and all “allegedly and possibly inaccurate” sticks as you like.)

Post Script - Me and my friends were routinely hassled for playing wiffleball and drinking heavily in front of our apartment.
I’m sure the WWL will declare anarchy in Happy Valley and University President Graham Spanier will declare martial law for the football program.

I lived in 5106. Nittany Apartments is the on-campus complex for athletes (mostly) and geeks. I was neither.

…as opposed to being “narrowly circumcised” which causes bouts of urination resembling that of the Wet Willie Water toy.
