New Jersey prosecutors have subpoenaed records from JuicyCampus. Since Princeton is the only New Jersey school currently enjoying Juicy's services, this is definitely about you, Princeton person who posted about the girl whose "vagine hang like sleeve of wizard."

New Jersey Attorney General Ann Milgram is going after the beleaguered but wildly popular gossip site for violating the state's Consumer Fraud Act because, according to the Associated Press, "it doesn't allow offensive material but provid[es] no enforcement of that rule." Which is funny, because we always thought JuicyCampus existed precisely for the promulgation of offensive material. In fact, you could say Matt Ivester is the laissez-faire Nick Summers. (That comparison is entirely nonsensical, but I like that I got to use the letter 'z,' so it stays.)

Since Milgram is going after the site, not its users, your Google caches and future employability are probably safe. But since you all have anxiety disorders anyway, feel free to grab a brown paper bag and start hyperventilating.

...and we're back from spring break, a little sad to have missed the big news on Eliot Spitzer (P'81, HLS'84), if only so I could use that "Princeton in the Nation's Cervix" headline I've been sitting on for months. Since Spitzer's scandal and resignation have been very small stories, completely overlooked by the media, and we'll thus never have cause to revisit it, here's Eliot and Silda's 02138 cover now. The subheadline reads "See What Happens When Harvard Meets Harvard."

Other cute items worth noting:

• Whining about JuicyCampus is officially so over now that old people are writing about it and the gay Yale porn therein. How long until the ironic "we heart JC" backlash begins?
• Columbia's most well-known transman got some press, too.
• Remember when some random guy on a laptop took down the Harvard Grad School website for three days? Turns out he also stole about 10,000 people's personal data, including about 6600 SSNs. Harvard's response: "sorry for the inconvenience."
• If Jesus went to Cornell and wore a pocket protector, he'd be the newest Beauty & the Geek Ivy Leaguer, Jim.
• If Gawker : NYT :: Bwog : the Spec, then Nick Denton used to write our Ragtimes. Just call us "starmaker."
• Tony Blair is going to teach at Yale, which prompts us to wonder: Has Skull & Bones ever inducted a faculty member?

Whew. Keep the tips coming, people. We'll be here all week.
