While Catholic University officials have yet to return calls from Big Head DC regarding the Antonella Barba scandal, they have unleashed a wickedly wise campaign that asks students to use their hands to watch over each other during this week’s campus spring break. 

The campaign centers on more than 150 “mysterious posters” that appeared throughout campus starting in early February. “The posters featured a graphic of a fist with the pinky extended in ‘pinky promise’ fashion, which simply read, ‘i promise,’” according to a release from the university. “They were intended to cause students to ask questions, to want to know what ’i promise’ was about.”

One question we immediately had: What the fuck?

And - lo! - we got an answer:

“Followed by the linking of the pinkies on each party’s right hand, a ‘pinky promise’ between friends can be more binding than a handshake for some CUA students,” according to the release. “Perhaps that is why the pinky came to symbolize the promise that approximately 950 CUA students made to each other in the weeks leading up to spring break…”

No word yet on whether Barba participated in any pinky promises before skipping town to sing on American Idol. (We’d ask CU students, but all of them are currently away from campus, getting drunk and participating in orgies.)
