...Signals still stands out because of the gravity of its subject matter as well as the importance of the message all the newly minted freshmen take back to their dorms after the event.

Sex Signals points incoming freshmen in the wrong direction by how casually it treats both sexual activity and rape, by the amount of sex it implies is occurring on campus, and by failing to adequately address personal responsibility to make smart choices...
