CUSJ-Jester Feud

[[Image:jestercusj.jpg|thumb|right|''CUSJ's'' manifesto that appeared on the redistributed ''Jester'' copies]]In [[2007]], a bizarre conflict developed between the ''[[Jester]]'', a campus humor magazine, and the ''[[Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal]]''. The feud initially played out in the comments pages of the [[Bwog]], wherein members of the respective organizations posted angry, insulting, and occasionally threatening messages about the other publication. The root cause of the fight is not known by the public at large.

The fight escalated when members of the ''CUSJ'' altered the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jester_of_Columbia Jester Wikipedia enrty], claiming the group promoted "lackluster understanding of particle physics, frequent misrepresentations of string theory, and fervent hatred toward America." After all, they assert, "who wants a lusterful understanding of particle physics?" They also added ''Jester'' to the group of internationally recognized terrorist organizations. This vandalism was covered on the Bwog.

In rebuttal, ''Jester'' writers edited their Wikipedia page to claim that they have a "brilliant understanding of particle physics," make frequently correct representations of string theory, and mount a "fervent defense of America against the ''Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal''." ''Jester'' also likes to mock ''CUSJ'' for taking a [[1906]] piece in the ''Jester'' about the non-existence of the ether seriously. ''Jester'' editors never once considered the notion that a humor magazine need not worry about the accuracy of their science.

The manifesto then referred to a website, [http://www.jesterlackssoundscience.com Jester Lacks Sound Science], which presents a rambling and incoherent argument claiming that Jester is responsible for egregious crimes against science. It also suggests that Jester is profiting from the Iraq war, is responsible for the September 11th attacks, aided in the proliferation of aspartame, manipulates the Dow Jones Industrial Average, implants evil devices into newborns, in addition to a number of more difficult to decipher claims. The website has been dismissed as thoroughly insane.
