Hey Look! A Dick! (I’m Not Seeing It)

It wouldn't be the internet without somebody getting up in arms about something and seeking to broadcast that displeasure to as many people as possible. Little did the Kansas State marching band realize as they took the field for the halftime spectacular at Saturday's shellacking of South Dakota, but their attempted potshot at in-state rivals the Kansas Jayhawks would soon land them in the midst of a completely fabricated controversy.

According to CJ Online (link below), officials at the college have been making the rounds apologizing for essentially not doing anything apart from exercising poor judgment in a first game of the year routine and failing to practice it enough times to make it actually work. 

The theme of the halftime show against South Dakota was “space,” and involved scenes from Star Trek and Star Wars. During one formation, the Kansas State band formed the Kansas mascot and what was supposed to be the starship Enterprise crashing into it.

The spaceship wound up resembling male genitalia, which in turn set social media ablaze.

Of course it did. Puppies, dicks, and perceived slights against any group of people sets social media ablaze. My editor was helpful enough to put together this illustration of what I'm missing. I still just don't see it... 

The marching band director also took to Facebook to show off the plans that were cocked up in front of the world...

Look, you can view this whole thing one of two ways. First, they made a dick on the field, but only a handful of people agreed to make it a dick in the first place and that caused them to muck up the whole joke. Or second, it was their first game of the season and they were attempting to pull off a move they should have practiced a few more times before unleashing it on the world. I'm sorry, even if that is supposed to be a dick, nobody told the poor folks past the 20 yard line. Sorry conspiracy theorists and lovers of finding dicks in everything, I'm just not seeing it.
