It looks like the jerkoff being sought by police for the vandalism of some 40 queer books at Harvard’s Lamont Library didn’t even have the balls to piss on the shelves directly: Officials found an empty bottle near the books, indicating whoever sterilized the university’s LGBT tome stash carried the urine with them from home. Man, private education is going down the crapper. All the books — with an estimated worth in the thousands — will have to be tossed out.

“Queer books”? Queerty and the vandal use the
same language to describe gay and lesbian literature.

@Jorge: HOw else would you describe them? Queer is the normal word for such things >_O

I say we go to that Library and piss on the bibles!

@Equal Rights Now: Only fitting, since they’re full of shit already.

Update: It wasn’t vandalism. But I think it was somehow worse…

@Lucas: Thanks for the up-date. Sounds like Harvard has decided the books got ruined by acc.ident rather than as a hatecrime. Still makes me wonder why/how a library staffer had a bottle of pis$ then spilled it on those particular books….
Good news is that Harvard WILL replace the books.

@Jeffree: Oh dude, didn’t you know, it happens all the time. While, the other day, I had my bottle of piss with me and left it by the butter in the milk section at Whole Foods. I ran back, after realizing my piss was missing, and by then some stockboy had already knocked it over onto 36 “I can’t believe it’s not butter” cartons. So embarrassing.
And then, a few days later, me and my bottle of piss, well, we became separated at Duane Reade, our drug store chain in these parts. Yep, I completely forgot it in the make-up aisle (shush, don’t ask me why I was there!), those Max Factor products will never be the same.
Oh, yeah, and then there was the time, my bottle of piss got left behind at the local Baskin Robbins. I’m so mad at that clumsy ice cream server, grrrr. Don’t worry, it just added more flavors to the 31! That chain was overdue for some updating, anyways. Rocky Piss Road, it’s the new fad.
Nowadays, I much more careful about where I place my handy, dandy, bottle of piss.

@Lucas: A poster wrote this at your link, I think it’s a good summation:
=======
So we’re expected to believe that
1) 2 weeks ago, someone left an open (?) bottle of urine in the stacks around all the LGBT books
2) A library employee then accidentally knocked over the bottle and managed to disperse the urine so well that 36 books (!) were damaged
3) They knew from the beginning that it was a library employee, which “explains why library personnel did not immediately report the incident and treated it instead as a prank”
4) Yet…even though they knew it was a library employee, after 2 weeks they reported it to HUPD which investigated it as a potential hate crime.
5) Then, 2 days later, the claim is retracted because..wait, didn’t they already know it was just an accident? Or wait, was it a “prank?” And if they thought it was a “prank” to destroy 36 LGBT books at first, why would that justify waiting 2 weeks?
