Danger!

Many of you who walk
around the USC campus have been subjected to several dangers when
crossing the streets or simply walking on the sidewalk to your next
class. It can get pretty hectic out there with all the pedestrians,
maintenance vehicles, skateboards, USC trams, golf carts and of course
bicycles. The latter is the most common form of transportation for one
of the most dangerous creatures the world has ever seen. I'm talking
about one of the most feared and hazardous beings on campus: the white
sorority girl riding her bike while talking on the phone. These
creatures are menaces to society and everything we hold dear. They are
more dangerous than any of the whinos and bums around downtown LA.
Allow me to explain.
These dangerous creatures are usually slim
and delicate in build. They range anywhere from 5 feet to 6 feet when
standing upright. The sorority girl can typically be identified by
their blonde hair, dark sunglasses and their pink/green/yellow tank
tops and the standard white skirt. While their fragile looking stature
may make them look harmless, when riding on a bicycle around campus,
sorority girls are one of the most feared creatures on the planet. The
bikes are usually beach cruisers with wide handlebars and occasionally,
a basket in the front of the vehicle. This basket makes the girl-bike
combination even more deadly. The bulk of the basket can be used to
maim, crush and ram other bikers or pedestrians. These creatures are
responsible for hundreds of injuries and property damage each year such
as damaged bikes, cell phones, iPods and knee scrapes, broken necks,
broken bones, torn ACL's and in some cases, death.
These
menaces tend to travel in herds of 3-16 creatures. One of these deadly
creatures can be dangerous enough, but when faced with an army of
biking, talking, laughing herds, move the f*ck out of the way and run
for dear life. These creatures are so deadly because of their complete
disregard to their surroundings or fellow students. Since they're so
busy on the phone talking to fellow girlfriends/boyfriends or just
about anyone who will listen to their psychobabble, they don't pay
attention to traffic, pedestrians or anything else around them. They
frequently swerve all over the road, cutting off other bikers, trams,
cars, people and wildlife. They make awkward turns, abrupt stops or
even hairpin U-turns when they spot other fellow creatures or prey. In
my 3 years here at USC, I've seen over a dozen bike crashes between
these girls and other bikers and students. They'll bump into anyone or
anything they choose and have no regard for their victims' well-being.
I've witnessed two crashes where the girl made an abrupt turn and
forced other bikers to swerve off the road and crash into each other.
The guys fell off their bikes and hit the floor. In other words, they
really ate sh*t. The girls on bikes in both cases were completely
unaware of the carnage they had caused and failed to stop and render
aid. Phones were in full use during both accidents.



This
problem needs to be addressed immediately. DPS should stop worrying
about breaking up every party around North University Park and capture
all these dangerous creatures. These girls are hazards to traffic
safety and the lives of everyone around campus. They need to be kept
captive and locked away from society so they can't harm any more people
and cause accidents. DPS should get off their sh*tty three-wheel
shielded scooter things and do something useful. As greek involvement
increases every year and more and more sorority girls ride their bikes
while talking on the phone, our safety and lives are in danger. People
shouldn't use the phone while riding a bike so they can avoid accidents
and potential maimings. If this problem continues, the streets of USC
won't be safe under any circumstance. Please watch out for this danger
and stay alert when traveling around campus. I really hope something is
done about this problem because if nothing is done, then may God have
mercy on our souls...

Turn into this...
