	Harvard Lampoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harvard Lampoon is an undergraduate humor organization and publication founded in 1876 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
		The organization is housed a few blocks from Harvard Square in a small mock-Flemish castle with a copper statue of an ibis on the roof.
		Lampoon staffers retaliated recently by "liberating" the Crimson president's chair and accompanying it to Reykjavík, where it was given as a ceremonial gift to the Prime Minister of Iceland.

		Droms said that it was unfair for the Harvard Lampoon to assert ownership over a word, pointing out that many corporations make use of the same words in their name, without being subject to trademark infringement.
		According to Harvard Lampoon lawyer Tyler Chapman, the criteria for the Harvard Lampoon to acquire the trademark was that the use of the word Lampoon in their title had given the word a secondary meaning.
		After the Harvard Lampoon successfully trademarked its name, it is obligated to regulate the use of its trademark, according to Chapman.

	The Prankster's Secret
		On April 26, 1953, in the midst of a long-running stand-off between the Lampoon and the Harvard Crimson, Updike and his fellow Lampoon editors were dismayed to find Threskiornis aethiopica, the Lampoon's copper ibis, missing from its perch atop the Lampoon castle.
		One current Lampoon editor, wishing to remain anonymous, refused to corroborate the details: "The reporting is mediocre," he sneered.
		Among Harvard's most notorious stealers of stuff are members of the Lampoon's class of 1933, who swiped the "Sacred Cod" of Massachusetts, a four-foot, eleven-and-a-half-inch wooden codfish, sheathed in silver, which has hung ceremoniously in the Massachusetts State House since the eighteenth century.

	The Early Days of John Updike '54
		In Self-consciousness, his l989 memoir, Updike remembers himself as a Harvard freshman: "To the travails of my freshman year at Harvard was added the humiliation of learning at last to swim, with my spots and my hydrophobia, in a class of quite naked boys.
		And this Saturday, Updike, 66, will return to his alma mater to accept the l998 Harvard Arts Medal, given to honor a distinguished Harvard alumnus or Radcliffe alumna or faculty member who has achieved excellence in the arts and who has made a special contribution to the public good.
		The records of Updike's years at Harvard offer a fascinating glimpse into the development of that man of letters who has contributed so much to the public good.

		When curator Joe Hickey found the original 1909 architectural plans for the Harvard Lampoon building where he works he rolled up his sleeves and got down to business.
		The poster had a dark liquor stain covering a portion of it, and when restored, showed 1954 Lampoon President John Updike's signature and a drawing of himself in the upper corner.
		Hickey has just two predecessors: Elmer Green, who died in 1977 with a Lampoon staffer at his bedside, and Bob Stewart, who was curator before Green and whose dedication was such that he officially changed his name to Bob Lampoon.

		Famously, he was elected into the organization in his freshman fall and earned the title of President two years in a row—a feat accomplished only twice in the Lampoon’s 129-year history.
		But despite O’Brien’s high-profile role on-camera, it is mostly behind-the-scenes that Harvard (and Lampoon, we concede) alums spin comedic gold.
		Successful writers are quick to deny that writing for the Lampoon guarantees a job; the path to the upper echelons of comedy writing is still rocky.

	National Lampoon Grows Up by Dumbing Down - New York Times
		But veterans of the original National Lampoon and others who were greatly influenced by it are horrified by the wet T-shirt contests and worse.
		The new efforts may, in some sense, revive National Lampoon, but in another sense, they show how one of the most ambitious and influential experiments in comedy - which began with a group of young geniuses sending up J. Tolkien (1969's "Bored of the Rings") - is ending with beer-soaked soft-core porn.
		Colbert credits the Lampoon with introducing satire that not only eviscerated its subjects, but also did so in the style of its target, like the magazine's letters to the editor, none of which were ever real, or myriad magazine parodies.

		Harvard Lampoon staffers still write book parodies, mostly as summer projects, which are picked up by big publishing houses like Warner Books in New York.
		Over the years, Lampoon writers have played countless pranks on Harvard's student newspaper, the Crimson, putting out dozens of fake issues of the paper, dumping truckloads of manure on the front steps of the building in which it is published.
		The Lampoon sent letters to students purporting to be from University Health Services declaring massive cases of botulism from dorm food and advising them to bring in stool samples in brown bags.

		Founded in 1876, the Harvard Lampoon has been delivering comedy to the homes of non-orphans for over twelve and a half decades.
		The early issues of the Lampoon set the pattern for its success: strong emphasis on illustrations, written satire in a variety of formats, and the wild adventures of Jester, the magazine's natural mascot.
		But from the beginning, the Lampoon found its richest source of parodies and fake-issues in the Harvard Crimson, the daily newspaper that seems so bad as to be inimitable.

		By this time O'Donoghue had left National Lampoon to begin seven years as the chief writer for a new NBC television comedy show called Saturday Night Live, which premiered in 1975 with much of the flavor (and several key cast members, notably Chevy Chase and John Belushi) from the earlier National Lampoon reviews.

		By the end, the Deltas (and their new recruits) have snuck a horse into the dean's office, taken a few liberties with their female party guests and destroyed the homecoming parade with their "Deathmobile" disguised as a float.
		The Lampoon's humor was the epitome of sick, and fl: its most famous magazine cover showed a cuddly puppy, a gun pointed at its head, with a caption: "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog." Lampoon writers took on topics others considered unmentionable.
		One reason for the Lampoon's renegade popularity among college kids was that its writers had only recently left campus themselves.
