Highbrow Prank?

This prank was pulled at a highbrow university. Does it make it a highbrow prank? And just why did the word highbrow become associated with highbrow stuff anyway?

Naah. Tacky is tacky. No matter how highbrow the venue.

And I have no idea how "highbrow" came to mean "cultured and civilized". Let me google a while on that...

I couldn't play the video - only saw the end result.
From that, I think it's funny. Doesn't look like anyone was hurt...

BigJon,
I also could not play the video.
Looks like it may of offended some. I think it's pretty funny.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
