A slap in the face with every puff
The Tartan Online: "Carnegie Mellon University dedicated a bridge on Oct. 30, 2009 in honor of Randy Pausch, a professor who died in 2008 of pancreatic cancer. Everyone on this campus has either seen or read his “Last Lecture” and has, in one way or another, been deeply affected by the message and wisdom he shared during his last few months on Earth. Yet today, a mere year after the bridge’s dedication, students smoking on the Pausch Bridge are degrading Pausch’s memory.

This is a very rude article and makes me rather upset. Just because someone is smoking on the Randy Pausch Memorial Bridge does not mean they are trying to degrade the bridge. The fact that this is suggested to be the same as attending a Holocaust Remembrance Day celebration wearing a swastika is ridiculous.
And as someone else points out int he comments, next to the bridge is a dedicated smoking area so people may be around smoking and that shouldn't be prevented. Cleaning up the cigarettes is great, but suggesting only dumb people smoke is just rude.
