BU TweetCreep: January 29th – February 3rd

Well… hopefully this TweetCreep gets out to the public. Or perhaps the movie Groundhog Day will serve as a premonition and I will spend the rest of my life hunting through the same tweets and writing this article day after day. But if this article never gets read again by anyone besides me and my poor copy editor, it doesn’t matter. Because we are one month closer to the end of the world.

Every day that passes, I believe more and more that the Apocalypse is coming. The evidence is all around us. Snooki is rumored to be pregnant. (The suggestion alone is enough to make anyone’s skin crawl.) Newt Gingrich has requested that Brad Pitt play him in any future biopic. (I hope I’m dead before that movie ever comes out.) And every celebrity couple that made me believe that happiness was possible is filing for divorce. Heidi and Seal. Perry and Brand. If Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner split, I’m building a bomb shelter.

And there are signs of our demise on our own campus. Take these tweets from @TheBUBus as an example. A not-so-mild reaction to the newly released Shit Nobody at BU Says video.

The BU Bus Twitter account: Their account is fake, but their rage is very real.

The most testosterone-laden day of the year would not be complete without…ice skating?

This sounds like the beginning of Footloose. Where’s Kevin Bacon when you need him?!

PARKERRRRRR, SEEEEEEIVE.

The man barely speaks, and when he does, he has to apologize for it. Poor Parker.

THE FLU?! THE FLU IS HILARIOUS

Can’t stop looking at your own reflection? Exact story of Narcissus. Looks like Harry Agganis isn’t the only Greek on campus.

CHANGE HOW AWESOME YOU ARE (IT MAKES EVERYONE ELSE LOOK BAD!)

Change something about CGS?! NEVER. How could you even think that?!

SUPER-BOWL WORTHY AD CAMPAIGN

Maybe it’s because they’re the Marketing Club and they’re professionals…but that tweet was super convincing. I mean, I just NEED a flyer.
