Savage! Irish college expels Professor Conan T. Barbarian
School removes prank Web page featuring shirtless, sword-wielding Schwarzenegger
DUBLIN (msnbc.com) — Talk about a tough professor.
Trinity College in Dublin was spoofed Thursday when an unknown prankster posted an academic profile of its newest English lecturer: a certain Conan T. Barbarian, complete with Hollywood mug shot of a shirtless, sword-clad Arnold Schwarzenegger in his maiden film role.
Trinity removed the parody site — but not before dozens of fans had archived the Web page of the mock biography and turned it into an Irish viral sensation.
Trinity spokeswoman Caoimhe Ni Lochlainn said the university had never had its Web site disrupted like this before. She confirmed that Trinity was certain it was an inside job, not the work of a hacker.
Trinity College says it quickly took down a spoof Web page featuring "Conan T. Barbarian" as a new English professot - but not before several people archived it.
