One called the hypothetical hanging of a Mexican child “piñata time.”

lol

Well, as long as it's hypothetical.

Don't kinkshame

Yup, Harvard should not be in the business of regulating memes.

Why not? They already run everything else. They've done a great job with Wall Street and Mideast foreign policy.

That's the kind of thing the government should be managing

Where do I apply to be the Secretary of Memes? Though I would prefer the title of Generalissimo of Memes.

You don't apply, you just go to your basement, turn on your PC and turn 4 diffirent animes on 250% speed each, then wait for enlightenment.

One day you'll join society as an adult and realizing jokes about hanging children and the holocaust aren't welcome by most people.

You can joke about anything, but it has to be funny.

Talking about mutiliating a 5 year olds genitals and raping them isn't funny. Let me know when you find a way to put that into a joke.

Sanctimonious smugposting goes over there -->

Sorry, I think you dropped this at the end of your arrow

/r/SubredditDrama

Wow, you're such a GOOD PERSON, it makes me feel good to see other GOOD PEOPLE such as myself. Genital mutilations not very funny but it sounds more fun than hanging out with you.

I'm glad you'd rather cut your dick off than hang out with someone you disagree with faggot.

So jokes are bad but homophobic slurs are fine?

When did I say jokes are bad? Are you dumb?

I know you are but what am I

>being this jealous over more the more objectively a e s t h e t i c people

plz no homophobia in /r/drama

clearly the problem here is your sense of humor, not my child mutilation jokes

Sure, right after i invent a time machine.

Btw, when was your 5th birthday?

Tbh this was decent

So a 5 year old with a mutilated penis walks into a bar. He goes up to the first lady he sees and says, "I bet you $500 I can stick out my tongue and touch my eye." "Easy money," says she. "You're on."

So the kid sticks his tongue out and touches his eyeball with his finger. He can see that the lady is understandably pissed at his trickery, so he says, "Look, I'll give you a chance to get your money back. See that empty beer bottle at the end of the bar? I bet I can piss in it from where I'm standing and not spill a drop. Double or nothing."

The lady smells another trick, but desperate to regain her $500, she begrudgingly agrees.

So the kid whips out his mutilated penis and starts pissing all over the place. His urine is hitting pretty much everything except the bottle. It's all over the walls, the bar, the floor. It's gushing out the sides of his mangled dick like punctured valves in a submarine. It's even getting all over the lady, but all she can do is laugh and beam over the $500 she just made.

"I guess you're out $1000 today, pal!"

"Not quite", says the boy. "See that guy crying over by the pool table? I bet him $2000 I could piss all over you and you'd love it!"

Then, unfortunately, the boy with the mutilated penis was raped :(

"GUY WALKS INTO A BAR" JOKES ARE NEVER FUNNY!!!!"

Why do americans get circumcised?

Because they have to give a tip even after being born.

There's a joke about Abraham performing the first circumcision on his son in there somewhere. I mean God wanted him to sacrifice his son in the beginning, maybe Abraham didn't know how much dick was a reasonable amount to lop off to repent for all of his sins. I mean he was like 900 years old right and a five year old's dick is pretty short.

bucci makes the flyest sweatpants

Neither are jokes about religion, sexual preference, rape, or ethnicity yet both regular people and professional comedians make jokes about all of those things all the time. They're just harder to pull off and actually pulling them off is far more critical than with other jokes.

I think tons of muslims would find holocaust jokes hilarious.

Yup. Too bad they won't be joining it as a Harvard graduate. Giggity.

Some of the formerly Harvard-bound memers are right here on /r/applyingtocollege

memes destroy dreams

DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE MEMES

There is no need to be upset.

How did people retarded enough to edgelord on FB manage to get into harvard in the first place

How does anyone get into Harvard? Rich parents or minority bonus points.

One of the kids was apparently a valedictorian. Like no understanding of consequence at all.

Valedictorian = "rich parents who make me study all the time and I've never had to make any choice for myself"

Assuming he went to a private school.

Valedictorian = "someone whose parents care enough about them to make sure they have a successful future."

But you keep up them sour grapes.

> beating your kid hard enough to make them grub every grade to become valedictorian

> not beating your kid enough that they edgepost on Facebook and get the banhammer from Havahd.

You sure do assume a lot. Your mom should have beat you so you'd learn not to make an ass of yourself.

You reek of SRDine

You reek of goat cum.

Wow, rude.

Goat semen. Happy?

Depends on how shit the school is. At my high school, you only needed about a 3.8 GPA to be valedictorian.

Valedictorian meant person who didn't take any high level classes and only took blowoff classes where I'm from.

make sure they have a successful future.

It's HS...

Shit ain't like it was back in the 60s, old man. You can't do shit with just a HS diploma, let alone with shitty grades.

This is what NEETS actually believe.

the valedictorian in my year told me i didn't deserve to even go to college

Are you trying to imply they were wrong...?

wow okay just make me relive that all over again

this sort of rude treatment is why people don't come here you know

>wanting normies moralposting in MY /r/drama

Fuck that

Nah, it's the lack of bussy. People dislike false advertising.

stop sexually harassing me

Thats not what ur nan was tellin me last night

that's not nice

Are you being hetero again?

Smh

Dude bussy lmao

This, but with relatively the same levels of irony

You're still here though. What has to be done to make you leave?

get a tattoo on your ass that says "i respect and value /u/riemann1413"

I only consider tattoos I feel strongly about. How does "/u/riemann1413's small dick was so disappointing" work for you?

this sort of rude treatment is why people don't come here you know

there are too many people here already tho

tru

I think history has proven him right

being wealthy and having the freshest fits means you shouldn't have gone to college?

Good thing you proved him wrong by graduating and becoming a successful member of society, right?

Right?

i actually did prove her wrong, ironically enough

God, a co-ed school. Hope you enjoyed your 2nd rate education.

lmao virgin spotted

I was the Salutatorian and didn't get accepted to Northwestern. At the time I thought I was a white male because no one ever told me my father was arab and my grandmother was asian.

father was arab and my grandmother was asian.

Brutally useless combo. Arabs count as Caucasian for college admissions purposes, and asians are heavily disadvantaged because there are already loads of asians at every top university in the US, so they don't add "diversity".

You were better off applying as a mayoskin.

This motherfucker pulled a Soul Man, get him!

That movie did not age well

didn't get accepted to Northwestern

Lol, you probably actually dodged a bullet there.

Autism might explain that simply.

Kid is probably so used to mommy and daddy bailing him out whenever he gets in trouble that he doesn't even think about the consequences of his actions.

Wealthy Teen Nearly Experiences Consequence

Presumably these poor unfortunates will have to go to Duke now.

Rich legacy parents didn't get me in in '99. Assumed I was too white and male.

Minorities can't be rich.

Speaking of edgelords...

You forgot cheating.

If I had to guess it was probably a combination of sheltered, rich legacy kids and super nerds with terrible social skills.

I got into Harvard and I am retarded enough to be posting here with you.

TBH, the key is to join the Harvard Lampoon, and then start shitting on those weird foreigners

Arabs: Disorderly cowards when they have to fight anyone else, they nonetheless quite courageously murder each other.

I'd be offended, but there's some truth to it.

Australians once again prove to be the worst race

You just don't get our proud and dignified culture.

Anyone stupid enough to edgelord on Facebook deserves to go to community college.

Facebook memes are cancer. Facebook is a cancer engine.

As far as I could tell Harvard sent everyone a letter that said "tell us which if these images you posted and explain what you meant by them via letter" so they might just not be any good at talking their way outta stuff.

It was an email and the deadline was noon the next day, which makes me think that Harvard admissions staff had already made up their mind.

I'm sick of society marginalizing and oppressing shitposters.

Ivies are increasing in cost and uselessness at approximately the same right. These kids will be better off having been shown what they were about to join.

The only real comment I've seen in this thread. Going to an Ivy League school these days is equivalent to taking piles of money and dumping them into the trash while your friends at state schools get identical educations.

Yeah the facilities and faculty at an Ivy League school are in a different league compared to a state school. The standards are actually far higher and they are not at all the exact same educations.

Shhh, let them have their delusions.

How someone can think their Univ. of Flyover State degree can somehow be the equivalent of an Ivy league school is just testament to how low the bar for entry into college is these days.

They kind of need to lower the bar to entry, I think. You can't get a middle or even upper lower class job without either a degree or being really charismatic/lucky/effective. Most people, by definition, don't hit the top of the charts of those three categories so in order to stop our economy from fucking up even further colleges need to get more people learning how to engineer.

What I'm saying is kill everyone not STEM (or economics)

Econ is STEM you retard

Oh thank god, I'm safe!

Nah. The 'E' is Engineering.

Also, econ is not a science. (yes, yes, you have very pretty charts and equations)

No shit the E is engineering, Econ is a science

this is a very poor understanding of science

the National Science Foundation disagrees with you

Ok honey 😘

Having gone to a state school and now work for an Ivy League school, I had no idea what I didn't know or wasn't given access to. How do people get this idea in their heads that they're equal?

I doubt that the education quality, at least at an undergraduate level, is that much better. The value of the connections made however would be massive though. I mean you're in class with the next CIA director, reserve bank chair, Shell CEO, , New York Times editor, etc.

It's much more difficult and far more involved than any state school. I don't know where people are getting these ideas that a state school is just as good as an Ivy League school, but I hate to burst your bubble. Even undergraduate.

That matters a lot more for graduate school, where you're going to be working closely with the faculty on bleeding-edge issues.

For undergrad, it doesn't seem to matter so much. The economics research shows that people who get into Ivy League schools, but (for whatever reason) end up going to a state school have essentially the exact same life outcomes as the people who actually did attend the Ivies.

It's the other way around. For example, nobody gives half a shit about Pitt's undergrad programs but Pitt for your MD? Hell yeah.

No, a ticket to the ruling class is incredibly valuable, you flea-bitten serf.

TFW you bare your ass for the world to see and are shocked when you catch a boot to it

Excuse you, sir. Should you be so foolish as to boot the arse of a Harvard Man, you'll be hearing from his attorney and the police commissioner post-haste.

That would apply if they were Harvard Men...I think this whole article is about how they aren't anymore ;)

Victim blaming? In MY /r/drama?

Can men truly ever be the victim?

Not the white ones.

Harvard is a prestigious institution with the highest standards. Their students and dropouts have gone on to shape the world we live in. Proper behavior on and offline is expected for their scholars. Proper socks for your feet is a smart choice. Socksoff has the best selection of socks at great discounts.

Real testimony from customer Ernest Socksworthy

"I made the smart choice and went to socksoff. They really provide great socks for a fair price."

Socksoff has all the socks you need for school, work or play. Socksoff.com

I don't know why I find this shit meme so hilarious but it makes me kek every time.

1/1

Quality shitpost

Woah this really scared me 😶😶 what if I got into Harvard and then they kicked me out I would be so sad ☹️🙁☹️ luckily I didn't get in in the first place😂

I never applied. Did try for MIT though, but wasn't accepted.

retarded rich kids?

That too

Harvard is an elite institution, and besides the prestige of academia, they truly pride themselves in having students of good moral standing. It doesn't matter if they were just memes, some of you seem too hung up on that fact- that's toeing a very fine line between intent and actual effects. And to further drive the point home, all you have to do is keep up with the news and look at events that are happening on other college campuses, like American and Baylor. Racism is still alive and well in this country, so of course colleges are going to be on high alert. Of course colleges will want to be sure that the students they admit will contribute to positive discourse. There have been many discussions about such events in the college admissions world, but the conclusion many have come to is that it is not and cannot be simply about "diversity" anymore- it's now come to, are colleges admitting white students who understand the meaning of diversity and can fully realize the effects of their privilege? (yes I said it, that dreaded P word)

Private chat or not, this event should be a solid example of, it's not about being "sensitive" or "politically correct" anymore- it's 2017, we know better, so we should do better, and that includes our future college students.

I can't tell if this is a seriouspost and you need to kill yourself or if this is some sort of dank pasta. 🤔

¿Porque no lo dos?

i think you forgot to transition into a socksoff ad

that's toeing a very fine line between intent and actual effects

The "actual effects" here were nothing at fucking all. No one actually used a dead kid as a pinata. That is, in fact, a very bright line.

No one actually used a dead kid as a pinata.

Fucking posers lying on the internet.

What retards. I literally don't post to Social media at all because I know if I do my autistic ass will say something horrible. I just post pics from Doing cool shit.

Spending your weekend posting on /r/drama doesn't count as cool shit.

That's why I don't post pics of that. I also don't do cool shit that often.

They can apply to Evergreen.

Cracking racist jokes is probably the only thing that'll land you in the one percent that doesn't get accepted to Evergreen.

So they were dumb enough to go from accepted to Harvard to refused at Evergreen.

Their parents must be so proud. Hope the parents are smart enough to send them abroad a year or two (in countries where we don't give a fuck about that bullshit).

“On the one hand, I think people can post whatever they want because they have the right to do that,” Luca said. “I don’t think the school should have gone in and rescinded some offers because it wasn’t Harvard-affiliated, it was people doing stupid stuff.”

This dumbfuck got into Harvard? Yes, you have the right to post that shit, and Harvard has the right to bodyslam your privileged future into the dumpster. Having rights does not equal freedom from consequences. And trying to argue that a group made up entirely of Harvard admissions isn't related to Harvard is a special kind of stupid.

Harvard has the right to bodyslam your privileged future into the dumpster.

I'm not entirely sure that's true. Once they've started, current college students can sue their schools for breach of contract if the school kicks them out for something that was not clearly against the rules in the student handbook, which basically counts as a contract, Psi Upsilon v. University of Pa., 591 A.2d 755 (Pa. Super. 1991) ("A majority of the courts have characterized the relationship between a private college and its students as contractual in nature").

I'm not sure what contractual rights (if any) admitted students would have, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility that a contract claim could work here.

This is hilarious only because rich kid tears are the sweetest

How about we let people share whatever memes they like in the privacy of their own facebook chats?

none of those kids were banned from sharing memes. just going to Harvard.

I need to get my hands on these memes, their value is probably through the roof.

/r/MemeEconomy

rekt

Ah well, there's always other career options nsfw

Shocking that Harvard does't want anti-social nihilists walking around

I dunno, it was a private facebook chat right?

Not that private if we ended up hearing about it.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 92%. (I'm a bot)


Harvard College rescinded admissions offers to at least ten prospective members of the Class of 2021 after the students traded sexually explicit memes and messages that sometimes targeted minority groups in a private Facebook group chat.

After discovering the existence and contents of the chat, Harvard administrators revoked admissions offers to at least ten participants in mid-April, according to several members of the group.

Luca said the founders of the "Dark" group chat demanded that students post provocative memes in the larger messaging group before allowing them to join the splinter group.
