Duke Mock Thesis

A Duke mock thesis became viral last week. The mock thesis by a Duke Grad, who was inspired to create said presentation when one of her "exploits" asked her where he ranked on her "f***" list went viral after a few friends couldn't keep it to themselves.

Of course, you know as well as I do that the list was not meant for millions of people to see. However, she sent it to a couple of friends who couldn't keep the presentation a secret and then it made it all the way to the desks of Gawker.

What strikes me as weird is that people feel sorry for the men listed in the mock thesis, and are condemning the girl who let the presentation leak. However, if the roles were reversed the women would be chastised for blatant promiscuity, while the man would be getting virtual high fives for being such a stud.

Although the list may be discussed for a few more days, then forgotten the PowerPoint presentation will remain very popular. Who knows...maybe SNL will spoof them?

Karen Owen Powerpoint Presentation Becomes Viral

Karen Owen Powerpoint Presentation becomes viral. The Karen Owen PowerPoint presentation was a mock thesis by a Duke Grad, who was inspired to create said presentation when one of her "exploits" asked her where he ranked on her "f***" list.

Of course, you know as well as I do that the list was not meant for millions of people to see. However, she sent it to a couple of friends who couldn't keep the presentation a secret and then it made it all the way to the desks of Gawker.

What strikes me as weird is that people feel sorry for the men listed in the Powerpoint presentation, and are condemning the girl who let the presentation leak. However, if the roles were reversed the women would be chastised for blatant promiscuity, while the man would be getting virtual high fives for being such a stud.

So far, it's uncertain whether or not Karen Owen will have legal ramifications for making the PowerPoint presentation. I think Karen Owen PowerPoint will be discussed for a few more days, then forgotten.

Karen Owen PowerPoint Presentation: 13 Are Ousted as Owen's Duke University Exploits

Karen Owen PowerPoint Presentation and Duke Student mock thesis brought 13 male students to light. The PowerPoint designed by Karen Owen went viral after she shared it with a couple of friends who managed to get it to Jezebel and Deadspin, two Gawker sites. Now, it's the talk of the internet (along with Brett Favre's nasty photos) and there are mixed feelings about it.

The thing that strikes me about the Karen Owen PowerPoint is the detail that she put in to it. It's almost as if she put more effort into describing the man than actually doing the deed.

Still yet, in some respects men have been doing this for ages - talking about women, rating them, sharing their conquests. It's okay for a man to do it, but a woman - oh no.

More on the presentation can be found here.

The 13 ousted young men who had 'encounters' with Karen Owen will likely be talked about for a long time. Their names were originally released by Deadspin, but then redacted.

What's your thoughts on the Karen Owen Powerpoint presentation?
