The “Upside Down Hokey-Pokey”
The Oakland Tribune recently profiled the editor-in-chief of the Daily Cal, the campus newspaper that is one of our favorite targets. This article is less about the newspaper, and more about how Adeel Iqbal keeps to his faith in college. More power to him, but this makes for some humorous quotes:
But as a young male at Berkeley, his faith frequently comes into consideration when choosing how to participate in college life.
Iqbal says he doesn’t engage in sexual contact with women, nor will you find him at home with a woman cuddling in front of the television.
That doesn’t mean, however, that he isn’t interested in the opposite sex.
“I’m a boy. That ain’t going to change,” he says with a smile. “(Being Muslim) doesn’t mean I can’t meet women or girls. I work at a newspaper in college — you meet women every day. It’s natural. … That doesn’t mean you’re going to be making out, or getting … drunk, or doing the upside down hokey-pokey.”
Upside Down Hokey-Pokey on Tuesday just doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
One of Iqbal’s first assignments at the Daily Californian required him to cover the X-plicit Players annual “Nude and Breast Freedom Parade” at People’s Park in Berkeley.
He confessed he was a bit taken aback when one of the female organizers began to undress during the interview.
“I just kept my head down in my notes,” he says.
It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.
Oh don’t be such a liberal!
People working for the Patriot have political careers in the real world planned.
I sure hope Davidson lost cause of garbage like this.
HAHAHa
