EUSA Decide To Make A Difference

The line is a dot to EUSA
EUSA’s decision to ban the controversial song “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke has stirred up heated debates all around campus. Naysayers from Edinburgh University have even gone as far as comparing it to McCarthyism or even Stalinism in its censuring nature. However, it has now been revealed that since the banning of the song, rape and sexist attitudes have disappeared from the city of Edinburgh.

“We really wanted to make a difference this time,” A EUSA official who would like to remain anonymous declared in an interview. “Sexism and misogyny are unacceptable in our society today yet until a week ago female students at Edinburgh University still had to cope with very real problems like period pains and childbirth. So we decided that enough is enough and opted for a radical approach to the whole thing.”

What will the lads do now?

Indeed, lads all over Edinburgh are now at a complete loss as to how to spend their evenings. “Until a week ago, we would start our evenings by listening to Blurred Lines in Teviot before going out to have beers and punch women. Now we have to settle for most rap songs or Try A Little Tenderness by Otis Redding.” Confides Nalin, 19, President of the Edinburgh University Sexist Banter Association. “I guess our lad-bantering days are over, gentlemen. We’ve had a good run, but I’m afraid that there is nothing we can do in the face of such strong adversity.”

It has furthermore been reported that due to this decision, Edinburgh University Students Association is being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by Barack Obama. “Most administrations’ decisions are only swayed by the desire to make headlines, not genuine concern for the people’s well-being.” The President of the United States said in a press conference. “I therefore salute EUSA’s effort to make a real difference in a world where too many think only about prestige.”

Truly, EUSA have inspired the whole world by taking real action against the all-too present rape culture in our society. Let us hope that they will continue on their path towards gender equality through such meaningful acts as banning art and crippling creativity.
