Wow, that was just about the LAST people I expected to see when I clicked that link.

Edit: Oh. Heh.

Just in case somebody misses it... that's (THANKFULLY) not real.

They both scored 1600 on their SAT's. . .????

Drat. I'm sure we could have gotten some good cheers/taunts out of that one, maybe reminiscient of Brooke Shields/Princeton or Jodie Foster/Yale eons ago...

Who is responsible for the joke? (In other words, other than its very subject matter, what are the indicia that it is fake?)

Edit: Answered my own question. Click on the "reputable source" link in the article.

www.spo0fed.com has a cnn fake news generator and somebody was very clever in the way they wrote the article. if you check the 'reliable source' link in the article, it takes you to some random blog, ostensibly of the person responsible. i got a good laugh out of it, i was hoping other people would, too.

That was really weird because when I first saw the plural word "fans" for some reason the first thought in my head was that it was the Olsen twins. Why I thought that I have absolutely no idea. That is very disturbing. I have been having a lot of prescient thoughts lately. I hope I have good dreams about the hockey team.

what the fuck is going on here

I certainly did, once I checked the "reputable source". )

Oh man.. that would be so hot if they went there. I would defenitely go to the RPI away game....

EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!! THEY ARE COMING HERE!

Well, this one's gotta be legit. Their name is spelled right in the headline.

Yeah, and you know what? There's a pop-up bomb hidden in these. Closing the window causes pop-up after pop-up to hit your desktop. Unless, of course, you're using a mac. )

or mozilla, with "allow scripts to open unrequested windows" un-checked.

word is that its not a fake

Word is that Photoshop is a lot of fun.

Damn, this crap is spreading fast through listserves.

I've already gotten 3 e-mails today from Cornell alums (who don't read E-Lynah) about this hoax.

Could it be because you sent them the link, Adam?

All I did was send out important names.

Neither of the above links worked for me. Can somebody please explain to me what the big joke is all about?
