TheDailyTarheel - What started with a spat between a UNC student and a disc jockey at a bar Saturday night ended with a boycott and a formal apology from the pub. When a DJ at Fitzgerald’s Irish Pub played “Blurred Lines,” Liz Hawryluk stepped into the DJ box to ask him to stop. Critics say the song promotes rape culture with lyrics like “I know you want it.” Hawryluk said she was then asked to leave the bar completely. But Lauren Shoaf, a spokeswoman for Fitzgerald’s, said it was a misunderstanding, and the UNC senior was only asked to leave the DJ’s area, not the bar. “Fundamentally, all I was aiming to do is to create a safe space in the Carolina community,” Hawryluk said. “In a lot of ways, violent or graphic images that allude to sexual violence are triggers.” Hawryluk took her fight to Facebook. Dozens of students and community advocates flooded Fitzgerald’s Facebook page, condemning the pub for allowing the incident to occur. This week, Fitzgerald’s issued a formal apology to Hawryluk and her friends. “This song is played by many DJs at Fitzgerald’s, and other places, but it will never be played here again,” Shoaf said in her apology to Hawryluk. While Hawryluk said some of her friends had agreed to return to Fitzgerald’s after the bar issued its apology, she wouldn’t be returning. “But thank you so much to the community who has spoken to address this issue and to the bars and companies on Franklin who are willing to speak out.”
This chick is THE WORST. The absolute worst. Like how big of a lunatic do you have to be to walk up to a DJ and tell him to stop playing Blurred Lines? An absolute psychopath. But that part doesn’t surprise me because radical feminists are the most insane mofos on this planet. That’s not up for debate. That’s a fact. But how about the bar apologizing? That’s what drives me nuts about this. Apologize for fucking what? For kicking out some crazy ass feminist who wouldn’t stop harassing the DJ in the middle of a club? For playing a song that is the most mainstream song in the world?
Just once I’d like somebody to have a spine and be like “Fuck this crazy ass bitch. You can’t reason with crazy. I won’t apologize. I won’t stop playing that song. I kicked her ass out because she was causing a scene and she’s banned from ever stepping foot in this bar again because we don’t want crazy people in here. We want people who want to have fun. Not looney bin feminists with their hairy armpits and bad attitude looking for trouble”
PS – Without knowing this girl I’d bet my life she went to this bar specifically to wait till this song was played so she could cause a stink. It was probably an assignment in her Gender Studies class.
From now on, please include your picture from the KO barstool rally in every one of these blogs
what a cunt!
I hate that song
more like the pussification of Fitzgeralds
Spot on, Pres. These assholes just can’t WAIT until something “objectionable” happens so they can make their big stink. And it’s the people and places that cave that keep them doing it.
“forced to apologize” is incorrect. fight the good fight pres but it starts with businesses/people just sayin im not sorry
the DJ should be shot for playing that song
and for being a DJ in general
Wilburham is a UNC student?
If I was the man I was 5 years ago I would take a flamethrower to feminists
Not a big robin thicke fan but “cocaine” is a fucking jam

Step your game up.

Just because she looks like a homely man, has armpit hair, and coke bottle glasses, doesn’t make her the typical feminist. It’s a great big coincidence.
What a fucking cooze that girl is
@wilburham I would take a flamethrower to you too fag
Can’t stand the song without the video
Here’s her LinkedIn, she looks like a cunt: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/liz-hawryluk/3a/822/856

@lumpy We Want Some Pussy woulda had a nice ring to it.
pres just have a blackout event at Fitzgeralds and have zollo make like 50 remixes of blurred lines to play all night
If there was anything from Barstool that I’d wear on a t-shirt, it’s that picture of Dave getting verbally assaulted by the KO Barstool broad. That picture is an all time classic, like the WWII sailor kissing his woman, or Ali standing over a felled Sonny Liston. Shit belongs in the Louvre.
I don’t want to be at any bar playing that fucking song either. but yeah she’s a cunt..
i go to duke, and go to this bar every thurs. the dj sucks, he plays nothing but one republic and miley cyrus. Cue the downvotes
@The_Dro_Man, dude, fucking thumbs up. NEED that shirt immediately.
@skim go to Duke as well. Whats ironic about this story is the girls at this bar are always easy as fuck. Maybe you should worry a little more about all the girls around you who want it toots.
She definitely tested her drink for roofies like a hundred times but was disappointed in the negative results
@wilburham break it down for you. He just called you a fucking cunt.
Don’t have to worry about hearing “rapey” songs when you stay in the kitchen, you easily-offended twat The more you know…….
Speakin of twats, forgot the period there eh.
Could somebody please put a leash on this douche. I need a sandwich chop chop…
