Queen Youtube at AUC

A student from AUC sent me this (he/she let me cite from it): "I am unfortunately a student at AUC, and they sent me this email about a "speech" (I use the term loosely for her highness). As you see they are pre-selecting the questions, and in another email about the speech they mentioned that you have to bring your ID and undergo a security check (conducted by...state security of course) to be able to recieve tickets to the "speech." That is the last thing any logical creature would want to do, but I thought you would find it interesting, I laughed when I first saw it. You can post any of this email you want, it you want.
