Yikes. Professor, your homophobia is showing.
Harvard Professor Niall Ferguson stepped in it in a big way while debating the economic policies of John Maynard Keynes. Ferguson is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University; he also authored The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die.
We know economic policy isn't exactly titillating, but Ferguson's insinuation that Keynes' policies are based on him being homosexual--and as a result, self-interested because he didn't have children is beyond offensive.
Details after the jump.

We never thought the day would come when the men's wrestling team would even pay attention to us, no less stand in solidarity with us on their own volition. Then again, it's Harvard; they got some smart and classy lads over there. Details and a full team photo after the jump.

Over the weekend Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Club's Man of the Year accepted his award -- and much hilarious torture -- with a smile.
Justin Timberlake took the stage of the annual roast only to be soon subjected to a quick drag makeover, as well as an "endowment" (not of the academic variety, mind you) joke. In case you're wondering and don't want to fast-forward midway through the first video: two drag queens claim to have asked Jessica Biel what size box (referring to the cult-hit SNL skit) Timberlake required. The response? Jewelry box. Sorry, fellas.
Enjoy the campy hilarity here:

Tags: anne hathaway, oscars, harvard, hasty pudding award, justin timberlake, meryl streep We totally heart Anne Hathaway. She’s gorgeous, she loves her gays (she even has a cute gay brother!) and, hello, Devil Wears Prada! Need we say more?
Harvard apparently loves Anne too, as she accepted her Hasty Pudding Award yesterday in true camp style.
Each year, Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals honors a famous actor as their Woman and Man of the Year. Justin Timberlake (??) will accept his award on February 4. Previous honorees include Anne’s former co-star Meryl Streep, Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker and Julia Roberts.
But to get the award, you gotta up the shtick. So, Anne played with drag queens (a Meryl Streep one, none the less), sang, danced and fought her way to claim her honor.
And an even bigger... FULL STORY
