Indeed, after some investigation, it looks like the pranksters were none other than members of the Harvard Lampoon. Surpriiiise. The prank caused much commotion throughout Leverett House after it was found that these fake Leverett t-shirts displayed an inappropriate joke connected with the 9/11 tragedy; an image of the Leverett Towers are printed on the shirts with the words “Lever Forget.” Below are photos of the shirt and fake housing day letter.

Um...something tells me this is not OK.

After the jump, an email that was sent to the Leverett community from its House Master, Howard Georgi.

We are very sorry that for some of you, the fun of this wonderful day was marred by a stupid and tasteless hoax in which fake Leverett T-shirts were distributed making a connection between our towers and 9/11. We have had many students at Leverett over the years who were touched deeply by the 9/11 disaster.  It would have been obvious to anyone with even rudimentary morals and decency that this immature hoax was cruel and inappropriate. Obviously, Leverett students and staff had nothing to do with this.

It is also worth saying that we have nothing directly to do with our actual Leverett shirts. We are simply proud to wear them.  But we are also proud of the Leverett House Committees and students who have, year after year, produced shirts that have been clever but not tasteless, and funny without poking fun AT anyone. That is indicative of the spirit of Leverett House.

We hope to see you all this evening at our Community Night dinner and the revels that will follow at 8pm.

Chief, Coach and Lauren

Leverett Masters and Resident Dean

Way to go, Lampoon. Way to go.

In the upcoming film “Get Him to the Greek” starring Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, and Rose Bryne (just to name a few), a Hollywood producer is forced to get a rock legend out to L.A. for a comeback show. The movie is produced by Judd Apatow, the man behind “40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up,” meaning the movie will be hilarious. Jonah Hill’s character is given the mission of escorting the uncooperative rock star (Brand) to L.A., while Brand is mostly focused on re-earning the love of Rose Byrne’s character. Ultimately though, Hill must get Brand to the infamous Greek Theater in L.A. and has to go through as many outrageous obstacles as you can imagine.

If you go here and vote you can not only get in on a free screening of the movie but get the CAST TO COME TO HARVARD! The Voice and Universal Pictures are spearheading this movement and we would love nothing more to have these amazingly talented actors and actresses in our midst. The screening will take place on 4/18/10, and with enough votes you can expect to have a bunch of super famous/awesome people walking around campus. So go on and vote people! This is bound to be the funniest movie of 2010 coming from Apatow–why not make sure they come here to show off?

Get silly tonight.

Sincerely,

The Voice.

Our verdict: We’re really confused. And embarrassed for Quincy. Sorry beezies. To be fair though, it looks like an individual, not HoCo, made the video.
