The Brown [University] Daily Herald did a nice job of poking fun of the University of Pennsylvania in this report about the hiring of actor Kal Penn.

The University of Pennsylvania is bolstering the stature of its faculty with a new addition for next spring – actor Kal Penn, otherwise known as the stoner medical genius Kumar from the movie “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle,” will teach two classes in Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences in spring 2008.

The report continues,

The courses, tentatively entitled “Images of Asian Americans in the Media” and “Contemporary American Teen Films,” will be cross-listed in Penn’s Asian-American studies and cinema studies departments.

I am not sure which passage is more amusing.
