East Carolina Football Streaker Gets Full Exposure in Student Newspaper

East Carolina streaker - student newspaper controversyAt BadJocks, we love streakers! They’re the unexpected spice in the otherwise bland sports stew. And, over the years, we’ve shown our share of pictures and videos of streakers, but never to the point where anything, uh, “important” is showing.

Apparently the kids at the East Carolina student newspaper (we think it’s called The Daily Regret) which decided it was best to show not one, but three pictures of a male streaker from the EC v. Southern Miss game last weekend. In each one, John Sieglinger of Raleigh (who has been charged with misdemeanor trespassing and indecent exposure) gets to show off his package. Why get so graphic? According to editor Caitlin Hale the paper felt that because the primary audience is made up of students, they should have access to the “unedited and factual photos” of the streaker. Hale went on to say that she thought that while while the images may be seen as offensive to some, “the photos were not meant to be seen as sexually suggestive or insulting, but instead an accurate account of Saturday’s events.”

Yes. Because there’s no way you could get a sense of what it was like to see a grown man streaking without seeing his junk. Our journalistic hats are off you to you East Carolina!

Latest on Joe Paterno/Penn State Sex Scandal

So many stories out there, that I’m not going to try and compete with all of them, so we’ll just bring you some of the best/latest we’ve come across.  The Penn State Board of Trustees faces a huge dilemma this weekend: ask a living legend to step aside against Nebraska, even though he hasn’t been charged with a crime, but may have done less than he should OR let Paterno stay with the team, putting additional focus on this story all weekend rather than moving ahead. Do you really think that in the post-game press conference anyone is really going to want to ask Paterno about Nebraska’s passing game? We would not want have to make that call.
