R.I.P. Harvey Korman, Thanks For The Laughs

I was saddened to hear of his passing, and offer a handful of great clips to remember him by:

HILLIARD, OH – A suburban Columbus high school student says he’s been suspended for tricking rival football fans into holding up signs that together spelled out, “We Suck.”

Hilliard Davidson High School senior Kyle Garchar says he and two friends spent three days plotting the trick, which was captured on video and posted on YouTube:

Garchar says he was inspired by a similar prank pulled by Yale students in 2004, when Harvard fans were duped into holding up cards with the same message.

The 17-year-old placed about 800 black and white cards in seats at Crew Stadium before an August 24th game with Hilliard Darby High School.

Directions instructed fans to check that the number listed on their card matched their seat number.

Darby supporters were told the sign read “GO DARBY.”

So…should Kyle have been suspended? Please add your thoughts in Comments below…
