Yale students show street preacher what’s up

Some evangelical preacher who thinks the road to hell begins at Yale began protesting on the school’s campus with his sandwichboard list of the ills of society. So some intrepid Yale students sought to teach him a lesson by having a hot man-on-man makeout session in front of him.

Jesse Morrell — a 25-year-old evangelist preacher from Cheshire, Conn., who said he did three stints at the juvenile detention center on Whalley Avenue for selling drugs — says he knows where most Yale students are headed: hell.

For the past three days, Morrell has used Yale’s campus as the platform for his open-air preaching. A self-proclaimed born-again Christian, he has spent much of the past three days sermonizing about the “evils of sin” on Old Campus, Cross Campus and the section of Wall Street near Woodbridge Hall.

While Morrell failed to attract much attention from passersby during his first two days on campus, on Thursday afternoon, about 100 Yalies gathered to watch him rail against moral corruption at Yale. Several of those gathered wondered aloud if Morrell actually believed the things he said, and others heckled during his sermon, while others still took photos and videos on their cell phones.

“It seems like he’s really enjoying this, frankly,” Jeremy Poindexter ’11 said.

Who wouldn’t love being the center of attention and all the spoils that come along with it? Like two gentlemen making out for you as though you’re the Emperor of Rome and the ability to shamefully search for gay pornography in your home on the Internet doesn’t exist yet. Which makes sense; it’d probably take a lot to get a Roman emperor off. When you can force men to fight lions to the death while you eat a Flintstones rib-sized chicken wing, I’d imagine five minutes on Xtube wouldn’t exactly turn you into Mount Vesuvius.
