NEW RULE

Not everything is funny.

On Texas Tech’s campus, shirts were available. They read “Vick Em.” The featured a Michael Vick parody hanging Texas A&M mascot Reveille. The Theta Chi fraternity has been suspended. Who else warrants suspension? Anyone who admires, defends, or purchased this shirt.

Michael Vick’s actions were reprehensible. They were abhorrent and heinous. They were not a joke. There were not funny. They were not marketable. College students, humor is invaluable. Humor is noble. However, tragedies are serious. Murder is serious. You must realize this.
