If this wasn’t made by a student, teacher or other person with the university, they probably paid for it. Think about that for a moment. Oh, and did I mention it’s HOT HOT HOT? Cripes!

If that was satire, it ranks as some of the best satire ever! If it was serious, however, boy did it suck.
I went to ASU durning the mid 90’s and I have to say, I’m so embarrassed after watching that video. It’s really a great school located in the mountains of NC. The whole time I was there the video never surfaced, Not sure why maybe it was hidden away in the archieves where it should have been left.
I graduated from ASU in 2001 and hadn’t seen this until about a year ago. Great University, but this video just goes to show how out of touch the administration is if they paid for it. One in a long line of embarrasments such as the redesign of our mascot into essentially the Shoney’s Big Boy and the multi-million dollar “eternally sinking Convocation Center.”
ROFLMAO if it is a serious attempt at marketing.
ROFLMAO if it is a student/faculty production.
ROFLMAO if it is satire.
ROFLMAO if the university actualy spent money with a professional (?) production company to produce it.
ROFLMAO if …. nevermind
Too “Hot, Hot, Hot” Funny
OH wow that’s kina old there. I think I saw that posted on Digg a long time ago. but I had assumed it was made by the students/faculty of the university. Sad to know this was supposedly done professionally? And within the last 5 years I guess?
Only thing missing is bouncing ball you can follow to sing along. Hell the lyrics of the song are displayed.. just in case they slur their words too much. Ya know all that moonshine in Appalachian mountains.
“There’s a university that’s going places.”
Where? The campus must be a caravan of trucks.
“Where?”
How about bankruptcy? Down the tubes? In the shithouse?
hmmm…
“The campus must be a caravan of trucks.”
“Down the tubes?”
Tubes – Trucks = Internets
People at App. smoke Pot Pot Pot!
Anyone who’s been to the East Hall dorms know it’s a good bit more than just Pot Pot Pot! 🙂
My God, I hope this isn’t a Professional production. I could accept it being a student project. As a student project, using limited resources, it isn’t too bad. I can’t see anyone in their right mind thinking about college to be influenced by this though.
That music sounds eerily similar to the “Tom Goes to the Mayor” theme song. Appalachian alive!
