For the frat crowd, try The Man Show.
You know girls jumping on trampolines, zigizaggee beer guzzling, farts, generally a gross show celebrating adolescent males, however, I have never seen the frat antics on The Man Show that have been described by various RW apologists as frat behavior by our military.

Somehow, beating, humiliation, sodomy, sexual assault, smearing of feces and urinating on naked prisoners, humiliation, siking dogs on, (must I go on?), do not really constitute frat behavior as most of us have known it.

Even if frat members have done this to get initiated into their little tribal cocoons, it was voluntary. As far as we know, anyone could walk away. So let's stop letting the Michael Savages, the Rush Limbaughs and the rest of them from calling it frat pranks. That is number one. The second problem is that these people who were tortured were real mean asses who deserved it before they did it to us. Duh? I don't even understand that spin.

It's time to start calling a stone a stone. It isn't a decoration. It isn't an organism. I don't care if you carve it into a bust of a famous person, it's still a stone. So, torturing and humiliating another person, is exactly that. It's not just revenge and it isn't a frat prank, it's humiliation and torture. It's that simple.

3. Perhaps?
Well, obviously I am. And probably thankful I'm not in THE KNOW.
Perhaps.
