Harvard, the nation’s insufferable institution of higher learnin’ attended by the nation’s most insufferable kids from its most insufferable families, will offer a course on HBO’s The Wire, the best TV show ever made, so as to better educate their pampered student body about life in the ghetto. Says William J. Wilson, who will teach the class: “I do not hesitate to say that (The Wire) has done more to enhance our understanding of the challenges of urban life and the problems of urban inequality, more than any other media event or scholarly publication. |NY Post|

Earlier this week the Harvard Crimson ran an advertisement from the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust which asked readers to “provide, with proof, the name of one person killed in a gas chamber at Auschwitz.” The school has since issued an apology saying that running the ad was an “error” that “fell through the cracks” due the lengthy 3-week vacation taken by the paper’s student staffers, which is the Ivy League douchebag equivalent to “the dog ate my homework” apparently.
