...gets downright raucous. A verbally vicious student section that seemingly sits right on the court and the unsettlingly loud blaring of the rowdy band situated under the far basket combine to create a home court advantage unparalleled in the Ancient Eight. Harvard knows all about that, having lost seven straight games in New Haven, and Drew Housman knows better than most--the then-freshman point guard was maliciously heckled every time he touched the ball en route to a 2-of-10 shooting night last year. Housman claims he’s primed for the challenge this year, and after...

...says. “And I’m willing to full-frontally touch somebody.” Upcoming episodes of the show will feature celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings, and an as-yet-unnamed Harvard professor. Saget has also been gaining attention recently for his straight-to-DVD spoof, “Farce of the Penguins.” The film is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and features the vocal talents of a wildly diverse cast, including Dane Cook, Christina Applegate, Tracy Morgan, and most of the cast of “Full House...

...grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, had visions of boys strolling to class in cashmere tennis sweaters. Instead, he found “a lot of people running around in sweatpants.”Yet his collection, featuring brightly colored socks, plaid suits, and military-influenced jackets, is more than straight Brooks Brothers. After getting to Harvard, Bartlett struggled to find a place in the student body. “I didn’t quite know where I fit in,” he said. “There were so many kids that were so clear about what they...

Second, the ad itself is, if anything, critical of the absurdities of straight male homophobia. That pulling out chest hair, pummeling each other with deadly weapons, or drinking motor oil qualifies as “manly” is as ridiculous as saying Red Sox designated hitter David Oritz is slender. (In case you fit another gay stereotype, the Red Sox is a baseball team, baseball is a sport, and sport is outdoor athletic activity performed by teams.) I don’t recall a chapter in “Manliness,” last year’s sensation...

What’s more, nowhere in the commercial did Snickers depict two gay men kissing, only to be subsequent victims to a straight man’s homophobic rage. In fact, in their misguided (though hilarious) attempt to erase a chocolate-caramel-peanut-inspired lip-lock, two straight men became victims of their own homophobic rage.
