      It's a joke site for a sequel to that annoying Pixar movie.

      You people fail media literacy.

    I love the sheer exhaustive detail that went into this, to the point where I now know that SCRM 302: Scream Energy Lab I is a 4-unit class offered by the school of engineering.

      Yes, the folks who wrote it have looked at an awful lot of college websites. I'm betting they're parents of high school seniors and/or college freshmen getting a comic release from the ordeal of college application. Check out the Admission link: it's chock full of cliches and finishes a paragraph about MU's excellence with the unnecessarily hyphenated "second-to-none".

      Brilliant.

    Strel: I know it's fake, but I would *totally work there.* Or Hogwarts. Whichever one called back first.

      I'd work at Starfleet Academy, but it ain't happening.

      What made me pissy was that the making of fake promotional sites stopped being neat about six years ago. Yes that "Communists for Kerry" website pissed me off to no end.
