As if there were ever any question, thanks to this website, we will always know the answer:

#Tooreal.

By bringing our beloved, age-old tradition up to the next level.

Last night, a multitude of no less than 700-something Harvard undergraduates ran naked laps around the Yard in a collective state of euphoria.

Donning masks, hats, fake wings, tails, and what-have-you, participants clearly went through thoughtful preparation for this year’s Primal Scream.

“It took me about half an hour to paint it black down there,” said an anonymous participant bearing the lettering “OCCUPY THIS” across his stomach, with an arrow pointing down to his proudly painted crotch.

“This year I definitely witnessed more exposed genitalia than last year. Harvard students are getting better and better at this,” said an unnamed sophomore who has taken part in three Primal Screams, including last night’s.

…for the first time in school history! This feat makes Harvard the first Ivy League team to make the AP’s list since a second-tier school in New Jersey did it in 1997-98. Harvard was also ranked No. 24 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.

Check out Coach Tommy Amaker’s thoughts on the accomplishment:

Congratulations to Coach Tommy, Keith Wright, Brandyn Curry, Kyle Casey, Oliver McNally, Jonah Travis, Corbin Miller and all the rest on this amazing achievement.

P.S. Be sure to tune in to ESPN 2 on Thursday at 8, when Harvard (8-0) seeks to prolong its undefeated season with a win against current ninth-ranked and defending national champions UConn. For those not keeping track, UConn lost to the team that Harvard ultimately beat to win the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament over Thanksgiving break.

Self-promotion at Harvard seems to have reached new heights.  Recently, our fellow students have decided to show off their Crimson fever through, uh, bodily exhibition? Please, do be wary of clicking on any of the links in this article, because this stuff is seriously NSFW.

Not what they mean by "Crimson ass." (Photo credit: justanimal.org.)

In the past two days, this website and this one have been created, to give Harvard girls the chance to show off their lady bits in support of fair Crimson. These websites seem to be inspired by a page launched two months ago, where men get to show off their goods – hard only, of course.

Presumably to keep things less gender-segregated, this tumblr was created yesterday.  Note the clever slogan that the admin posted at the bottom of the page.

Frankly, I’m intrigued by the motivation behind all of this. Are we all that starved for sexual attention that posting X-rated pics to an anonymous tumblr is the only way to get it? Has reading period driven us all mad already? Or are we, as stereotypical Harvard students, just aching to show the rest of the world how perfectly perky our boobs are, and to hell with it?

The Voice jury is out on this one, but at least maybe for some of you, these websites have brightened the darkness of reading period just a wee bit.

As reading period drags on and finals loom, the view on our end is looking pretty bleak. In these troubling times, it’s important to take comfort in the fact that there are those unfortunate souls who are worse-off than we are!  In this case, the individuals are some of our fellow college students from around the country, who attend schools that have been rated by the Princeton Review as the twenty colleges with the least happy students.

To make your days a little bit brighter, The Voice happily offers you the complete list of the even-more-downtrodden, in order of increasing suckitude.

Read it on the homepage of the New York Times – “Know What You’re Protesting.”

In bullet points:

- “I applaud the protesters for thinking beyond their own parochial concerns and trying to make society a better place for everyone.”

- “[M]y second reaction was sadness at how poorly informed the Harvard protesters seemed to be. [...] Their complaints seemed to me to be a grab bag of anti-establishment platitudes without much hard-headed analysis or clear policy prescriptions.”

- “Economics 10 is a broad, generalized survey of mainstream economics. You’d get basically the same material at most other universities. I don’t view the study of economics as laden with ideology.”

The best part: “I have been told that at least one of the students who walked out sneaked back in later: he wanted to support the protest but didn’t want to miss the lecture.”

Well, this is still Harvard.

Look out for our profile of N. Gregory Mankiw, the Harvard Professor of Economics, later this month!
