Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised

Semji Rkim writes: "Yale Daily News is running a story of several occassions in which Princeton officials entered the Yale Online website and viewed admissions decisions. Princeton officials claim they were simply researching security for their own website. Reportedly the website, on initial log-in, would show applicants either a congratulatory fireworks display or a rejection notice. Princeton officials informally mentioned that they had accessed students' records on Yale's admissions site at an Ivy League deans' conference. The Yale website apparently used names, birth dates, and social security information as unique identifiers to allow access to the site. They are considering adding a PIN in the future."

    Here's my essay I submitted:

    Here is my ass
    Which you may kiss.
    Take time and aim well
    You don't want to miss.

    For if you aim low
    And your lips they do fall
    Then you will find
    You'll be sucking my balls.

    If you aim high
    Despite your true heart
    Sucks to be you
    Now you're eating my fart.

    It's misrepresentation, you dumb sonofabitch. Kind of like the other day, when I told your mom I was a crack dealer just so I could get a blow job. Then I killed her and ate her intestinges. After that, I went over to your sister's room and raped her and shot my load in her mouth. I made her vomit it back up then crapped on the vomit. I picked scooped in all up and added your mom's cunt juice and put it all in the blender, and made your dad drink it at gun point while the dog licked his nuts.

    That's sort of what Princeton did.

    In unrelated news, the Big Five auditing firm Arthur Andersen today announced that they have decided to increase the number of job placement interviews at Princeton University in the upcoming year. A spokeperson for Arthur Andersen said that the academic and social environment at Princeton helps to produce the type of high quality people that they desired for their firm.
