HUTV Launches New (Sexy) Web Site

HUTV has been making some changes this year. As if switching their name from Harvard Radcliffe Television to Harvard Undergraduate Television wasn’t revolutionary enough, HUTV has just launched its new Web site. To drum up excitement over the launch, members of HUTV tabled outside of the Science Center today and accosted passer-bys with the usual Science Center publicity mélange of flyers, candy, and blaring Britney tunes.  Details of their exploits, pre-horrific rainstorm, after the jump.

Alisha P. D. Ramos ’12, HUTV’s Vice President of Publicity and Marketing, describes the new Web site as being “very Web 2.0.” Luis A. Martinez ’12, Vice President of Events and Management, had a different take on the new Web site. “It’ sexy,” he says. “There is no other word to describe it.” Mmmm, indeed. If a sleek new site design doesn’t get you aroused, then there must be something wrong with your libido.

The Web site features links to regular programs like “Ivory Tower” and “On Harvard Time” as well to gems like “Men for Palin” and Petros’s music videos. (You mean I can watch “Body Glow” and "Predator” on repeat?!)

If none of the available programming tickles your fancy, then try entering HUTV’s video contest and get your own video posted to the site. The challenge is to make a video of 90 seconds or less answering the question “What’s Harvard Really Like?” Oh, the possibilities…

If for nothing else, at least check out the site to watch Steven Pinker go absolutely crazy.  There are few things in life that are simultaneously more terrifying and more entertaining than watching this man's luscious locks fly about as he takes a bat to an old television set.
