Bristol Palin is the keynote speaker at university's "Sexual Responsibility Week"

Sarah Palin's teen mom-cum-dancing sensation pro-abstinence daughter Bristol will be the keynote speaker at St. Louis' Washington University's Sexual Responsibility Week. Then, in a game of "one of these things is not like the other," she will serve on a discussion panel with members from Missouri Right To Life, the university's Catholic Student Center — and Planned Parenthood.
Reactions from the rest of the University were mixed. Daniel Bernard, a student representative from the Treasury department commented that Bristol was sure to fill Graham Chapel (the venue they're holding the panel in), thus bringing the student body together, while Sherveen Mashayekhi, the president of the College Democrats was more worried about Bristol's credentials:
"While she is obviously an experienced person on the matter of teen pregnancy, she is an extremely polarizing presence in social and political terms and does not provide the right type of balancing, sensitive, well-rounded force to an issue as hot as sex on campus."
The event is being put on by the Student Health Advisory Committee. In the past, SHAC has been criticized for being "too liberal," specifically during Sex Week, and SHAC President Scott Elman felt having Bristol as a speaker would highlight the "often forgotten about, 3,000, maybe 4,000" members of the student body who have not yet engaged in sexual activities. According to the University's website, the school serves 11,396 full-time students and 2,200 part-time students. You do the math.

Dear Bristol:
We, the People of The United States of America have, by majority decision, found your mother to be a comical, buffoonish, cartoon character of a pseudo-celebrity who certainly has, and will continue to make plenty of money by playing out this ridiculous clown act she has cast herself in, while willfully sacrificing her dignity, and the respect of most people everywhere. We fear for you, Bristol. You are still young, and there is still time for you to wake up to just how degrading your mother's life is, and to choose to become a level-headed, respectable human being. Please stop advocating abstinence, a clearly unrealistic and narrow-minded failure of a strategy for the prevention of teen pregnancy, and please also refrain from defending your mom on Twitter, as aligning yourself with her will only serve to further erode our already tenuous capacity to ever take you seriously. There is opportunity before you; you will either become your own person, or simply become a hollow, angry, nonsensical clone of your mother. Please, make the better choice, even though the odds are against you. We'll keep our fingers crossed. All the best, signed Reasonable People Everywhere.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
is it just me or does the phrase "hot as sex on campus" make you want to go to school there?
This puts the "moron" in "oxymoron." What's next? Lindsey Lohan as the keynoter at "Alcohol Responsibility Week"?
Great article and also just hilarious all around. Did anyone see the sex education video she made with Mike the Situation on using condoms? Almost as good as this.
