"Jackass 3D" a waste of everyone's time

“Jackass 3D” a waste of everyone’s time

Published Oct 25, 2010

Nothing good is coming from the movie "Jackass 3D." Besides branding grotesque images into my mind that I may never be able to erase, this movie is a teenage boy's mother's worst nightmare.

Published Oct 25, 2010

Morgan Burns got into trouble with her parents for an $800 phone bill after sending over 12,000 texts in one month during her freshman year.

As a result, Burns, a senior strategic communication major, now has unlimited texting and pays her own phone bill. Even though she now has unlimited texting, she said that she still texts less.

"I don't know why I text less now," she said. "I didn't get texting until my freshman year of college, so I guess it was exciting that I had it so I used it all the time."
