He mourned the imaginary death
of the Tiger Bar owner, still refuses to touch the LSU drunk bus, and can’t
wait to share a class with Britney Spears next year. Meet Randall Zurnichek, a
freshman at LSU who hasn’t missed a single one of the Campus Dirt’s articles.

and shame. |
Since the
CD began
printing at the end of last semester, Zurnichek has read and accepted every
issue as absolute truth. Missing
the small print at the bottom of the page that clearly points out that the
events are indeed fictional, the naïve Zurnichek has publicly and loudly
flipped out on a number of occasions.
Proudly pointing to a number
of citations and tickets on his wall, Zurnichek said, “As you can see, I’ve
been outraged quite a few times. I’m just glad the Campus Dirt has
enough guts to publish these ridiculous, yet eye-opening stories. The other
newspapers aren’t brave enough to talk about the urine content in Kirby-Smith
elevators or that stupid campus-wide curfew that’s being enforced on us every
night.”
From
staging a violent one-man protest of the supposed costly fourth floor addition
to the Union, to his most recent stunt of planting poppy seeds on the Parade
Grounds to show his anger at the bogus proposal of marijuana being grown
there, Zurnichek has responded without fail to each and every article as if he
is some sort of campus guardian.

“My whole family flew up to
attend ‘Pack the PMAC with MAC’ last semester and the Aaron Carter
concert this semester. Needless to say, we were all severely disappointed both
times,” Zurnichek said. “I called every LSU authority I could, and they all
said they knew nothing about any of the events. I thought there was some big
cover-up conspiracy going on. As it turns out, a couple of weeks ago, I read a
Campus Dirt article which confirms that belief.”
When Zurnichek was handed a
magnifying glass and instructed to read the fine print about the news stories
being noting but humorous hoaxes, he blushed and looked at his feet.
“Look, I know they’re all
true. You can’t cover up the truth,” he shouted. “Actually, I’ve always
doubted the article about frat guys liking beer. I think that was pushing the
envelope of belief a bit too far. But as for the other ones, just know that
I’m out there soaking up whatever truth the Campus Dirt wants to pour
on me.”
