Art Project Determined to be a Hoax

It appears that the “art” project mentioned yesterday was just a hoax:

The story about Aliza Shvarts’ project, published Thursday in the Yale Daily News, swept across blogs and media outlets — including the Drudge Report, Fox News and The Washington Post — before Yale issued a statement saying it investigated and found it all to be a hoax that was Shvarts’ idea of elaborate “performance art.”

All sides seem to agree, though, that it was in very poor taste.  I’ve never been happier to report that I was wrong. :)
