Does anyone think that had this been any other campus - it would have been passed over by the media? But for the fact that this is Penn State, it was picked up on?

Not quite the same when you don't include an offensive sign that makes sweeping generalizations about a culture.

*Raises hand* We had an almost identical issue on my campus when I was a freshman. I don't think it made it past the school paper.

ETA: Apparently it did make it to the local paper cause I just found a link here on GC. But yeah, it didn't get any bigger than that.
