Christmas In June

pennchristmas

Ho Ho Woah!  In bizarre Penn news today, it looks like the annual “Penn Christmas” has somehow slipped our calendars.  This article chronicles the dumpster-diving spree that occurs every summer in our own backyards. Hopefuls descend on campus to find Penn clothes, furniture, electronics and more from kids too lazy to give their stuff to the PennMoves sale.

As this excessively long video shows, one newsman-turned-freegan even found a hard drive filled with bank statements, personal documents and strange Korean dance videos (is this any of yours, readers?). Luckily the diver was level-headed enough to dispose of the hard drive... hopefully not in any dumpster nearby.  It seems as if in West Philadelphia, nothing is sacred, not even your trash.
