I thought it was supposed to be T.I….. and I will continue believing that, as picturing him on the spring fling stage rapping about the trap will bring me endlessssss amounts of joy.

who tipped you off to the “parties responsible”? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t either of the first two names. Dunno about the third

I know this is beside the point, but how incredible would seeing BoC be

“…everyone will still question the final announcement as a potential prank, whenever it comes out.”

I think it’s pretty clear that the YCC’s decided to give up on announcing via email entirely. Notice how both the counterprank and the “real” correction email emphasized finding out “through the YDN”?

Admittedly, the YDN’s investigative reporting is typically on the level of “University to fund program” (that’s a real headline), but it would take a pretty dedicated prankster to fool them into running a story based on a fake tip.

I love Boards of Canada, however I’m not sure they’d be too thrilling live. We never get any good bands because all of our money is thrown at inviting people like Ahmaninejad to campus.

I think you guys might be missing the point. Whoever pulled this off did such a good job of ripping off the YCC’s format that they call into question pretty much everything that they send out from now on. Nobody on campus is really sure that the second email wasn’t just another prank–besides, who the hell are Boards of Canada? Even if the YCC DID correct it immediately, everybody will still question the final announcement as a potential prank, whenever it comes out.

I’m not sure where you got your info about who’s behind the prank, but I’m pretty sure that the first person doesn’t exist, and Zijun Chen is a girl, not a “gent.”
