Oh honey, my mascara does that smeary thing too sometimes.

In weird Harvard-related news:

A man from Harvard Business School allegedly choked a cop this weekend – while dressed in drag. Naturally he was dolled up for the Priscilla Ball (as in, Priscilla Queen of the Desert) hosted by the HBS Australia and New Zealand club. We hope this all gets sorted out soon and that the officer involved was not hurt in the scuffle. And while we shake our collective heads in shame at their conduct (that’s certainly not the way a lady behaves), we can’t help but chortle a bit. Plus, the word-nerd in us is weirdly excited – ever notice that grad also spells drag?

But certainly the most entertaining/infuriating aspect of this whole affair is the comments left by anonymous users on the source site. And while we certainly agree that Harvard’s image has declined in recent times, we can’t help but ask that random people on the interwebs calm the heck down; a couple rowdy grad students ≠ the end of Harvard and the world as we know it. Read our “favorite”  comments after the jump!

The BEST or WORST of random internet comments on BostonHerald.com

From the racist and redonk:

townie52: revoke the student visas and send home with a “do not return”
Meme: Idiots. Send them back to whatever country they came from.
misstori1958: Don’t you wonder why he’s going to school in the U.S. rather than Lebanon??? Afraid of falling bombs!

The “Screw you, elitist bastards!” trope:

tweeker: typical superior attitude from another poor little rich kid who’s used to having his way and believing he’s above the law. whaaaattt?? i have to live by the rules that everyone else lives by? my trust fund says i don’t have to!!!

A weird combination of the above:

albialbi: harvard will teach you how to become a nerd but wont teach you to be street smart china man, like you DO NOT argue with cops…the real world does not operate like your $5000/month condo your daddy is paying…or your $200,000 degree you can use when you go to the restroom….but money well spend since now your record has more value that your harvard education

The random tie-in to Affirmative Action?

Stirthepot2: Saying you went to Harvard used to mean something. Now they are just another school putting up with crap in the name of diversity.

And noice’s personal favorite,
The poorly spelled and formatted “Obama LIES!” troll:

Squirrels: OMG it was BARRACk or excuse me BARRY dressed up and causing another problem…OK MAYBE now we will learn who BARRACK really is ?

Oh freedom of speech, you never fail to deliver. With this kind of amusement gratis, who cares if Hulu’s going to start charging?
