Human research is risky business. Sometimes, there are great discoveries. Sometimes, there are unintentional consequences. Recently, a PSYCH 160 professor wished to demonstrate the effects of images on emotion, so he chose to subject a room of drained students to a video of their childhood hero being violently stomped to death by a stampede of wild animals in a heated act of betrayal. According to sources, members of the class proceeded to sob. This research allowed the professor to conclude that the correlation between "traumatizing video" and "anxiety-ridden college student weeping" is strong, a groundbreaking discovery. We suggest taking a look at more upbeat The-Lion-King-at-Penn occurrences to cheer yourselves up.
