So most people know what THON is, the Penn State Dance marathon, a charity/philanthropy thing that Penn State students run every year to raise money for kids with cancer. It lasts like 72 hours i believe. You can read about it here http://www.thon.org/
Great cause, for sure, and I myself have raised probably a thousand dollars throughout my four years of school, tromping through neighborhoods knocking on doors, standing on busy streets with cans almost getting hit by cars. People join committees and devote SO much time to this thing... and honestly, it gets to be a little... too much. It turns into this big competition as to what groups can raise the most money, there's these huge war as to who will get to be captains of committees, etc. I had this one great friend in college and she became a Thon Moral captain her senior year, and i haven't seen her since.
However, NO ONE, no one, NO ONE will EVER admit to not liking thon, especially on camera, EXCEPT for FOB/Certified Badass friend Alex D.
You may have to know what THON is to think this video is funny, but I cannot hold in my laughter everytime I watch this. I forgot about it since like March of last year til today and watched it at least 6 times. This is our senior year Thon, and by this time I was so THON burnt out I could only bear going after taking part in some recreational drugs.

BTW, I hope this blog entry doesn't turn up in any google searches for THON, I may actually be killed or poisoned because of this.
