About Us
"We demand to be taken seriously."
The Rotten Appal is Boone's very own satire publication. We work hard to bring the best, most unrealistic news to your newsfeed every day. We are associated with Appalachian State University, but we do not speak for the university. The content provided in this publication in no way represents the views of Appalachian State University. Rotten Appal is not intended for readers under 18 years of age.
All people mentioned in our news stories are either fictional or public figures. No stories are meant to represent any figures or scenarios in a truthful light. We remain dedicated to supporting underprivileged communities and discussing hypocrisy in a humorous manner.
The Rotten Appal proudly welcomes any and all persons, regardless of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender identity, sexuality, or disability.
Meetings every Thursday in Anne Belk Hall 116 from 5:00pm-6:00pm
