Double Take - Article fails to pass YUSU censors

censorship
This is an official YUSU stamp!
Sunday, 19th June 2011
Allegations have emerged today that an article from popular student website The Yorker has been subject to YUSU censorship. After claims that the article entitled “**** ** **** **” was untrue and portrayed several leading members of the Union in an unfavourable light, it was accordingly censored.

The article in question, written by Miss ***** *******, focused on the allegation of an illicit meeting between University Vice-Chancellor Professor ***** ****** and several high-ranking members of YUSU. The meeting, which allegedly took place last month on the new ********** **** campus, has been thoroughly denied by both parties.

A second year Goodricke student who wished to remain anonymous claimed to have witnessed the midnight meeting: “I didn’t know what they were doing at first. I thought ‘who are these people, and why do they have three horses and a rusty *******?’ It was only when I saw the ritual ********* of the famous ginger **** from campus that everything started to fall into place.”

A spokesperson from YUSU made the following statement: “This article is clearly a lurid fabrication designed to generate controversy and more readers for The Yorker. The very idea that YUSU would sanction the use of radioactive ***** in the manner claimed by the writer is unacceptable. We had to censor the article for the student body’s sake. Even this statement will be censored.”

The University Vice-Chancellor Professor **** ****** declined to comment on the allegations, saying: “* **** **** **** **** *** ****** **. ***** ** ****!”
