At first I figured this must be a parody, but I was wrong. It's part of a real ad campaign for modesty at BYU.

Think Inside The Circle.

That might as well be BYU's motto.

The rest of the posters are here.

To be clear, I don't have a problem with the standards at BYU per se, but the heavy-handed enforcement and propaganda like the above is a different story. They know how to take all the fun out of being good, that's for sure.

Suzanne's post about Starbucks hot chocolate reminded me of The Firearm, a humorous periodical that circulated on the BYU campus during the '01-'02 school year. I never saw it in print (although that was my final year as a student, I wasn't really "on campus" much) but I heard about it and read all the issues online. It's funny stuff, and if you haven't read it before, I encourage you to do so. If you were around BYU at the time, you've probably read them already.

The inaugural issue is classic for it's treatment of Mochas and hardcore boardgaming.

Volume 1, Issue 3 introduced Chimptech, which is still in use in our office today.

As near as I can figure, there are seven issues in Vol. 1 and six in Vol. 2.
