It occurs to me that the function of Dilbert in corporate america may very well be analagous to the function of Hacks in MIT culture.
In both, the activities function is a release valve for the entire community, by making fun of the apparent immediate source of stress. In the case of Dilbert, this would appear to be from middle management, and in the case of MIT, it is the Institute itself.

a good (and quite amusing) site on MIT hacks can be found at http://hacks.mit.edu/
