Admittedly, the acting was pretty good. FlyBy didn't find itself squirming with every line, and that one tall dude was even kinda cute. But the writers of Ivory Tower might need to rethink their plays on verbal titillation: the shoddy attempts at double-entendre ranged from "You only play with your balls when you're worked up" to "Is that a banana in your pants? Because I will peel it for you" to "C'mon girl, give me your biochemical desires." Now we just want to hurl...
...What the school didn't expect, however, was to hang on to so many of those top students. Typically, while admissions officials say Berea has a 54% chance of snagging a student who scores between 540 and 650 on the verbal section of the SAT, the chance of enrolling an applicant who gets between 660 and 800 is only 40%.

In this case, “translate” was a loose term; the disgruntled Grecian housewives drive minivans with baby-on-board stickers and complain about husbands who don’t listen to their advice. The Harvard Classical Club did more than add verbal allusions to the modern housewife’s strait; the liberties they took with the original text extended to sequined dresses and the incorporation of life-like dildos. Although “Lysistrata” sometimes bordered on absurdity, the humor created an original adaptation that highlighted the timeless feminist undertones...
