The Karen Owen list is sweeping across the internet, and in the video below, you can see what effects the Karen Owen list is having on Duke’s campus and around the nation. The details were so explicit and the subject matter so outrageous that the Karen Owen PowerPoint scandal attracted the attention of the Today Show.
In the Today video, the Karen Owen list is discussed, although the names of the “subjects” -- mostly Duke University lacrosse players -- are kept a secret. When Karen Owen wrote and distributed the list, however, all names were included. The Karen Owen list indicates that perhaps Duke students have too much time on their hands; while some discuss their sex lives with friends, Karen Owen compiled a list into a PowerPoint presentation.
The Karen Owen list opens fresh wounds for Duke University, as it had a lacrosse sex scandal in 2006. Surprisingly, Karen Owen didn’t realize how quickly things can spread across the internet. Phenomena such as the Karen Owen list prove that things “only intended for friends” ALWAYS have the potential to go viral. And growing up in the internet age, Karen Owen should have known this. Check out the Karen Owen list coverage in the video below.
