Lil' book of shame- An unmissable opportunity for trolling‏

    You may not have heard about this. Basically players and dubes are running this thing where people anonymously submit their "embarrasing moments" on little postcards (flyer-type things that are lying around everywhere) and at the end of the week these "embarrasing moments" will be compiled into a little book (the 'Lil book of shame) which will be sold (presumably in the SU shops) to raise money for charity.

    Now, the anonymity it, the fact that it will be immortalised in printed form and the fact that it will reach a wider, more diverse audience makes it an unmissable opportunity for any troll worth his salt (and amateurs too ;)).

    On the flyers they say "be creative", so maybe they're ok with it (not that it makes a difference, tbh). I will be submitting several of my "creative works" biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif. Just gotta think of something better than "i shat my pants and the kids at school laughed at me". Got some ideas in the pipeline but don't wanna ruin them yet wink.gif.

    This is the sort of juvenile behaviour trinity students should be making an effort to distance themselves from.

    I definitely won't be submitting any fake stories to the Lil' book of shame :mad:.

    Don't worry. He's got one of these scarves to keep him warm.

    What, Trinity does Postsecret? How cool and original........

    I find it unlikely that there wont be at least one person involved in the project who reads boards......

    Ah I remember coming across Postsecret. The book was an interesting concept. Speaking of "secret shames" I first heard of it from watching a certain All American Rejects video. That was a good 4 years ago, so please don't judge me for past indiscretions:o

    This is very much a copy of another idea but that's mitigated by the money going to some sort of Haiti appeal I suppose.

    Is today the last day for this or do we have next week?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭SligoBrewer


    I dunno. I haven't seen a single flyer yet.

    Cause I totally just wet my pants, and I think everyone would like to read about it.
