Respecting the right to have fun

Five men and five women, all with their backs to the camera against the backdrop of the campus, in large-scale close-ups of their buttocks - this isn't the stuff of a restricted movie, it's the annual "Beautiful Butt Contest" at the prestigious University of Cambridge. The annual "beautiful buttocks competition". Oxford, the "arch-rival", is not convinced and organizes a buttock contest on another student website "Oxford Brookes Tab", claiming that the candidates are "better" than Cambridge's. The competition is held on the "Oxford Brookes Tab". "

Although the competition was fierce, there were no big prizes, and Cambridge's prize was a mere £2 for a ticket to the Museum of Science and Technology. Oxford was also criticized by the feminist community on campus, and local students said it was just "fun".

There are a few strange competitions abroad, and there is no shortage of salty "heavy flavor". Recently, thousands of students at Stanford University participated in a "kissing contest", which does not sound special enough, but to "sexual orientation" grouping criteria, or let the crowd "seconds to stay! "The event was a bit of a shock. Despite repeated warnings from local health officials, the students decided to take the plunge. The contestants divided the students into two groups: gay and straight. By 1 p.m. that day, participants had until 1 p.m. to target as many kissers as possible. Administrators said, "We will provide free mouthwash and remind students that there are health risks associated with the competition."

In November of this year, the United Kingdom, which has always been rich in ladies and gentlemen, held an online vote for "the most open college students," and many college students signed up to participate. The final from the University of Exeter, a girl Dixan won the championship, although stirred up a lot of controversy, but the champion Dixan not afraid of the outside world point of view caused by the dilemma of finding a job, on the contrary, think that these records on the contrary, can make their own more self-confidence.

Many competitions are controversial because of their "big scale", but there is no lack of "supporters". Buttock contest not only get the enthusiasm of the students, netizens also praise support, said the competition shows the youth of college students healthy body, but also test the creativity of the participants, is an "exciting and positive competition."

The university has also shown great tolerance for these competitions. Oxford says it "declines to comment but in no way reproves," which is pretty much saying, "I don't approve, but I respect your right to play."

However, the school is always a place of learning, once "play too much", will cause a lot of trouble. Recently, in South Korea, Gangwon University organized a "couples drinking milk competition", the game girls to wear a swimsuit flat on the ground, the boys' task is to his girlfriend's face and body dripping milk, and then licked madly clean, and must ensure that there is not a little bit of residue. The competition has been criticized as a pornographic defilement of the school, and the country is in uproar and protest, with some netizens commenting that "it's a disgrace to have your modesty shattered."

Even if you're not afraid to run naked, are you afraid to take the test?

"Beautiful buttocks contest" did not originate in the United Kingdom, but a part of the Miss Bikini World competition. And the University of Cambridge this competition, this year is only the second. The first Cambridge "beautiful buttocks" contest began in May 2012, when the exams were intense revision, so some students came up with a very interesting way to relieve pressure, relaxation. They created a website inviting female students to show off their buttocks and let everyone choose who had the most beautiful buttocks. Who knows get the warm response of students, a time regardless of men and women, we have uploaded their own buttocks photos.

Foreign universities those "too hard" free style is not limited to these strange competition, there are those who do not realize that the campus traditions, such as Harvard University's Naked Mile Festival is also well-known. The day before final exams begin for each semester, at exactly 12:00 a.m., undergraduates participating in the Naked Mile gather in Harvard Yard and run screaming and naked three times in anticipation of the next day's final exams. The rationale for this is that if you're not even afraid to run naked, what are finals for?

Harvard students who participate in the Naked Mile don't care who runs faster, who's body is more fit and sexy, more and more to compete with themselves, with a naked screaming run in the cold wind to beat the pre-test anxiety and nervousness.

Usually, the origin of some competitions and festivals is a chance event or a cultural trend of the time. But now, the original purpose of the event is often lost. Harvard's Naked Mile festival is a remnant of the campus student movement of the mid-1970s. Freedom, defiance of tradition and challenge to authority were the mainstream of campus culture in those days, and the "Naked Mile", an avant-garde and bold behavior, became popular on campus at that time, and gradually developed into a cultural symbol, associated with freedom, rebellion and so on. Harvard, as the most prestigious university in North America, could not be far behind in this regard. It is only that the passion of thirty years ago has evolved into a psychological catharsis for Harvard students before they face the big exams, and the revolutionary color of the year has long faded.

Controversy makes the game more appealing

Despite the openness of the foreign ethos, it has attracted a lot of opposition. These voices often come from some trade unions and community organizations, the Cambridge University Union that the beautiful buttocks competition is a frivolous "pornographic marathon", damaging the reputation of the school. In South Korea, a photo of a couple drinking milk in a contest was circulated on the Internet, causing a huge controversy, and the student union of Kangwon University issued a public apology, saying "I am very sorry for tarnishing the reputation of the school".

Despite the controversy, these "heavy" competitions abroad have attracted a lot of attention, and the opposition has intensified. Among young people, the fun and controversy of these contests are more than enough to keep them entertained.
