He was probably just acting the fool for the camera, but still...way to go Brown.

His name is Daniel Moraff, and apparently he's an aspiring comedy writer:Â http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2012/10/brown-student-remains-unconvinced-there-was-hurricane/58512/

I think you can find a copy of the video here, though my work firewall won't let me stream it if it is indeed that video: http://www.complex.com/city-guide/2012/10/ivy-league-student-delivers-dumbest-hurricane-interview-yet-video

Oh wow I didn't know about that one!Â Anybody else notice Stanford's predominance in popular culture lately?Â Kate Beckett of Castle went to Stanford.Â As did one of the brothers on Supernatural.Â There's another current and prominent one I'm forgetting at the moment.

I'm sure garvin will be along shortly to fill us in, but off the top of my head, Sigourney Weaver represents her alma mater in Avatar, with a Stanford shirt.

A bunch more are listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_in_popular_culture

Estanford!

Just remembered.Â The Hangover Part 2.

My all-time favorite is Andrew Shepard of The American President.

My favorite is from a war movie I saw as a kid (on TV) and it bugs the hell out of me that I can't think of the name. Anyway...there's a dogfight over Midway, I believe, and the Japanese fighter pilot is talking back and taunting the American pilots on the radio...in perfect English. They ask him (over the radio) how his English could be so good and he replies, "Stanford, '39!"

Obviously an $C film school director.

It wouldn't be Tora! Tora! Tora! since that's about Pearl Harbor.Â Are you sure it wasn't the movie Midway?Â It also could have been the TV show Baa Baa Black Sheep.Â I loved that show when I was a kid.
