How bigoted it dressing up like missionaries with bike helmets? Really, I think it is funny. If we can't laugh at ourselves then we are way too tightly wound.

While it looked pretty tame per me, I'm glad for this guy's mature criticism.

That's a BYU fan. Too bad. I think we do more good by letting them police

Agreed. I hadn't noticed it was a BYU Fan

Agreed. We need to have thick skins ourselves but be sensitive to others

Right -- one student, even though some others likely feel the same way.

Yeah, but that was just to pee the wifey off. So you're fine.

Well said. If BYU students waived smoke balls and threw wafers, anything said?

I still think it's funny, especially when they wear the bicycle helmets.

I guess they don't get that dressing up as a missionary is not offensive to us

Holy cow! Someone realizes mocking Mormons is as bad as mocking other religions!

I agree with everything you said except the part about it being hilarious.

It's not funny anymore. It was when SDSU first did it.
