2004 Harvard–Yale prank : ウィキペディア英語版 | 2004 Harvard–Yale prank
The 2004 Harvard–Yale prank was a practical joke performed on November 20, 2004 at the annual Harvard–Yale football game in which Yale students perpetrated a card stunt, costumed as a Harvard "pep squad". They gave out placards to a section of Harvard fans which, when raised together, read "We Suck". The stunt was conceived and coordinated by Michael Kai and David Aulicino, two Yale students in the class of 2005, and was executed with the help of 20 classmates disguised as the "Harvard Pep Squad". The perpetrators handed crimson-and-white placards to fans in the central area of the Harvard side of the stadium—mostly Harvard alumni, with a few faculty, students, and others. The group told the crowd that, by lifting the placards, they would spell "Go Harvard". Most Harvard students were sitting in a section off to the side of the alumni area where the prank was executed, and they left the stands unaware of the prank; however, players on the field did see the placards.〔ESPN documentary on the Harvard-Yale rivalry, featuring the "We Suck" prank, December, 2005.〕 Harvard won the game, 35–3. ==Response== Initially, many at Harvard denied that the prank had happened. In response, Yale students registered the domain name "(harvardsucks.org )" (as well as "yalesucks.org" in a preemptive move) and posted a video detailing their efforts.〔(Video of the incident )〕 Chuck Sullivan, Harvard's director of athletic communications, said, "(was ) all in good fun".〔''New York Sun'', Dec. 1, 2004〕 In an interview with ''The Harvard Crimson'', the prank's organizers claimed that members of the Harvard Band were complicit with the Yale pranksters.〔''New Haven Register''〕
