Ha! very Magritte
Now to make the obvious connection with another...

Actually, I think this is called shaming.

College Humor is rife with this stuff, and each time I see it.. I fail to see the humor.

I think it's funny if you're there, but otherwise is just poor, drunk (and apparently ugly) people with a lot of stuff piled on top of them.

I had a friend who used to fall asleep like that and we'd fully make-up his face, mascara and all. I couldn't believe he never woke up while we were doing it. Eventually, he'd stumble into the bathroom and the shrieks would begin! One time, we even sprayed his moustache and beard with green hairspray. Man, those were the days.

I blame the President for turning this country into a nation of fratboy assholes.

I remember when I lived in a rather, ahem, active house with an indeterminate number of housemates. The basic house rule was: If someone passed on the couch in the living room, they were fair game. It started innocently with markers and balancing objects, but quickly degenerated into true fun. One housemate was transferred to a couch in the campus library (we weren't in college.) Another was placed, couch and all, next to the garbage on the curb (we almost lost the couch to that bright idea.)

We used to do this to our passed out friends but we were generally a bit meaner about it (we were "those damned kids" growing up).

I used to really enjoy writing "Insert Penis Here" on my friend's cheeks with an arrow pointing to their mouth. They didn't find it as humorous though, I'm not sure why.

LOL!

We always just took a picture with someone's balls in their mouth. Simple and more shame-blackmail property...

All this is pretty contrived and elaborate.

But there were some funny ones... If real.

Jeebus. Grow a sense of humor you guys. Obviously this gal they pile crap on is "in on the joke" or she would be super-fueled on NoDoze and 12-stepping her way to new sober friends.

It's funny. Well. Stacking furniture or burning material on somebody is over the top. But C'MON! Having a drunken laugh at anothers expense is the American way.

Yeah. Good times.

Dave Chappell made an interesting observation about the discreet homosexual tendencies of college students while drunk, and conjectured that this was mostly a white phenomenon, as a black guy would kill the motherfucker that did that ballsack-in-mouth kinda' shit.

Only he said it funnier.

That Ozzy pillow is awesome.

I saw the post and thought it was an article about playing Jenga drunk, which I have done a couple of times. BTW, I recommend it, Jenga is 1000 times more exciting when completely hammered.

My friend in college shaved off his roommate's eyebrow once. Good times.

Tru dat, but not in this case - they call chips 'crisps', so this particular fratboyfest is from across the pond.

I think we can define "shaming" as general fucking-with-a-passed-out-drunk-person. "Drunk Jenga" however, requires stacking stuff methodically to produce a more stunning result. The loser is someone who either collapses the creation or wakes the drunk.

That's not necessarily what the "Escape from Eluned" people were after, but they have certainly made some quite pleasing Jenga creations.

I wonder if there is a shot of Dubya with a bunch of WMD's placed on him?

Actually, in college I knew of a skanky girl named Dawn who, the morning after every party, would be discovered unconscious in some ridiculous &/or compromising position. It became a running gag. So... I totally believe this site is real. Had there been an internet back then? My friends & I would've made one for Dawn in seconds.

Drunk Jenga is okay, but it's not nearly as much fun as
Drunk Operation.

(Which I thought was a clever line, until I did a search and found this. Apparently, drinking games are stranger than fiction.)

Our college rule was: If you managed to take off your shoes you were just "asleep." If you still had your shoes on you were "passed out" and fair game for Sharpie™ graffiti and other mischief.
