KU officials eye Twitter account

Kansas University associate athletic director Jim Marchiony responded to a Twitter posting by the “KU Boobs” account on Monday, indicating the KU athletic department is not trying to shut down the KU Boobs Twitter account.

KU Boobs’ initial post read: “KU Boobs has been ordered to cease and desist by the University of Kansas by June 12, 2013.”

Marchiony said the athletic department has ordered KU Boobs to not sell merchandise by that date.

“We are not trying to shut down the KU Boobs Twitter account. It’s one thing to have a Twitter account. It’s another to sell merchandise with KU on it. That’s what they are doing. That’s what we have asked them to stop doing. KU is a university-owned federal trademark, and we have to protect it,” Marchiony said.

KU Boobs had just under 50,000 followers on Twitter as of 10:30 p.m. Monday.

Top 10 list of things I thought when I saw this headline/read this story:

*10. Oh no, what has Tyshawn done now?

*9. I would much rather see KU Boobs than read about KU Boobs.

*8. I like boobs.

*7. What happened?

*6. KU Boobs must be perkier than MU Boobs

*5. KU Boobs must be lots better than KSU Boobs

*4. How many times did "Staff Reports" giggle as they typed out this article?

*3. Is "Staff Reports" now going to have to take down it's own article because it violates it's own policy?

*2. I wonder if it got started off as KU Bob and then after a few too many, boom, new website?

and the number one thing I though when I saw this headline/read this story:

*1. Thank goodness this site wasn't started by KU fan that likes roosters...

Nice list, kuwells. If I may be so bold, there is one tiny correction that needs to be made though.

Item #5 should actually be " KSU Teats".

Now I like that revision! Curious what you think MU should be renamed? Try not to get censured in your reply...

MU Athletics could form a corporate partnership with Tiger's Milk...

Good list, kuwells, but you should have included the Al Bundy Family Motto:

"Hooters, hooters, yum, yum, yum. Hooters, hooters, on a girl that's dumb."

You can tell its summer by reading this story....

Since "Kansas" is often used to make reference to the University, but could also be construed to refer to the State, the account holders could side-step the problem by renaming themselves "Kansas Boobs", and then have all of their models display the same Jayhawks attire. Just sayin'. It ain't difficult.

Irony is that Marchiony will have done them a favor by increasing publicity.

I thought this account was about Turner Gill, the ticket scandle crew, and the guy that got stuck in the Taco Bell drive through window. Boy...was I wrong!
