Responses to the “I Have Sex” Video (Updated 3/16)

On March 9th, a video of Wesleyan students expressing support for Planned Parenthood surfaced on YouTube. Created by Jacob Eichengreen ’13, Su Park ’12, and Wesleyan Uncut, this video (entitled “I Have Sex” – students speak out against ideological attack on Planned Parenthood) was covered on Wesleying a few days ago. Responses to the video have begun cropping up across the internet.

Above is a screenshot of BuzzFeed’s front page earlier today. BuzzFeed describes itself as a site that “features the kind of things you’d want to pass along to your friends.” Of the 62 reactions to the video thus far, 59 of them are positive. Nice! Read past the jump for more responses.

Thanks, Buzzfeed!

And thank you, internet, for making blogs like Museum of Modern Tweets (which provides flashy graphic accompaniment to celebrity tweets) and I Studied Abroad in Africa! (actual pull-quote: “This is for all you fabulous biddies who decided that Africa was the right place for you.”) a reality! You rule, 2011. (The above photo, by the way, is from Kim Jong-Il Looking At Things, which seems to have become weirdly popular, considering it’s just pictures of Kim Jong-Il looking at things.)

40 Things That Were Popular At The Beginning Of The Decade That Aren’t Popular Anymore

So the decade ends in a week. And for a generation that came of age at the dawn of the 2000s and entered adulthood (sort of) at its conclusion, you know what that means: rampant meaningless nostalgia.

BuzzFeed’s list of 40 Things That Were Popular At The Beginning Of The Decade That Aren’t Popular Anymore (highlights: Fred Durst, The “Weakest Link” Lady, Hanging a Flag Outside Your House) does a pretty damn good job of portraying 2000 as some sort of quaint, Norman Rockwell-esque alternate universe, where people wore frosted tips in their hair and watched music videos on MTV.

Maybe it really was like that.
