I was warned several times yesterday to avoid the undercover news media that were wandering the MIT campus yesterday asking questions about Star Simpson. Members of East Campus quickly identified the the undercover reporter and sent a picture of them to all the residents of EC along with a warning to just walk away if questioned. Although they were avoiding the media, the residents of EC wanted to prove that they really were nice people, so they offered the reporters a gift:
Residents from East Campus deliver fresh papaya to FOX25 Reporter Martin Morenz who was soliciting comments from students regarding the arrest of Star A. Simpson ’10. A melon with an embedded LED was also offered to reporters. Simpson was at Logan Airport to meet her boyfriend and was arrested after the innocuous LED device attached to her sweatshirt alarmed airport authorities.
Oh, you gotta love those EC kids :) Melon with an embedded LED - the perfect gift.
ReplyDeleteThat totally explains what happened yesterday at 5pm...
ReplyDeleteEC rules.
ReplyDeleteNews media sucks.
Airport security is apparently very poorly trained.
Why do students have to avoid the Media? I thought America was a FREE country! What are they going to do Kick you out of MIT because you say the cops are Stupid?
ReplyDeleteI think you should all be surrounding them telling them how stupid the WAR is. Freak them out a little.
Students don't *have* to avoid the media, but it's often a good idea for their own sake.
