In Whitehall With Black Curtains

DCU students crash into irony headfirst

Universities have always been at the forefront of cultural revolution. The soixante-huitards who tore up the Parisian pavements with cries of "Ne travaillez jamais!" were drawn from the ranks of the Sorbonne, while the American counterculture has long been associated with the radicalised campuses of Berkeley, Brown and even the University of Iowa.

Students are always pushing the envelope and surfing the nouvelle vague.  That is unless, of course, they go to Dublin City University, where the entertainment at this year's Rag Ball consists of:

Dutch dance duo 2Unlimited (pictured here living in a pinball machine)

The walking lobotomy Mark McCabe (the maniac responsible for Maniac 2000)

And the bloated corpses of those denim-clad harridans B*witched

Have the students at DCU discovered irony? Or are their tastes simply that bad?
