As an ISU fan, yea I think it's funny. As something that is going to be viewed by people who know next to nothing about ISU nationwide because it hit 'hot clicks' it makes us look like ****.
That craigslist ad has no context, and anyone who reads it outside of someone familiar with wrnl is going to view it as funny because it makes fun of Iowa State, not necessarily in a satirical manner. It's all about the context.
Just how I feel, but all kinds of people on here complains about getting no respect and being treated like the bastard child and doormat of the Big 12. This kinda thing plays into that. It propagates the problem. I bet you the next time ISU makes ESPN for football it will show a barn and field nowhere near Jack Trice. I bet that makes people outside the ISU community think we're hicks. It's the same problem.
But obviously I'm in the minority as I've been called out as being an overly serious internet tough guy, so I'm gonna go put on my fishbowl glasses and iron my tighty whities now.
