By the looks of it, they want to sell me a Brooks Brothers Franchise

The Winklevoss twins as played by Armie Hammer in The Social Network.

Okay, if you've ever seen The Social Network (2010), you know it's the story of two twin brothers who row for Harvard and have this great idea to set up an elite online social network called Connect U. When the brothers, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, enlist the help of a dorky computer major to write the HTML codes to make their idea an actual website, he betrays them, and launches his own socialist social network, The Facebook. Throughout the movie, the Winklevoss twins seek justice for what rightfully belongs to them.

So, that may not be the summary that IMDB.com gives you, but I still feel the Winklevoss twins are the heroes in The Social Network. What preppy wouldn't? It's only natural. Now, the reason I tell that story is to tell this story, which I am reposting from TFM. The former president of Harvard is calling the Winklevoss twins 'assholes.' You can read TFM's column on the issue here. Additionally, I thought I would add my thoughts to their column.

Larry Summers, who was the president of Harvard at the time of the Zuckerberg/Winklevoss scandal, admitted that he did not approve of the twins. He is quoted as saying, "One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an asshole. This was the latter case."

Well, excuse them for being professional, Mr. President. Did you ever think that perhaps the reason that they were dressed in suits is because they know the importance of having a meeting with the president of Harvard? I don't think Mr. Summers thought that Cameron and Tyler were actually assholes, I think he was just annoyed that he was having to have a meeting with mere students. Which, in my opinion, makes him the asshole.

Instead, I think we can all take a lesson on dressing, and professional demeanor in general, from Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
