Last week, we reported an unfortunate incidence of turd terrorism at Ole Miss. This week, the fecal insurgents struck at the University of South Carolina -- leaving a bowl of shit in a dormitory elevator. What's up with the proliferation of poop pirates way down south in Dixie?

Authorities at USC posted signs in response to the fecal vandals like, "if you are responsible for this act, please stop," and warning them that "the entire building will be fined for the cleaning of the feces."

Andy Fink, associate director of Residence Life at USC, notified the dorm residents that if the culprits do not come forward and pay for the cleanup, he will impose a building-wide fine. The bowl of shit found in the elevator is the second incidence of turd terrorism at the home of the Fighting Gamecocks this semester.

"In repeat offences, we want the (student) community to be involved and aware ... we may be forced, if we can't identify the person, to have to charge (all) students."

So once again, as at Ole Miss last week, it's a case of one rotten apple.
