Although I don''t really like "pranks" because I don''t condone ANY behavior which makes fun of, embarrasses, or makes a fool of ANY other human being, it''s always nice to see a high school kid using his brain. LOL

If he''d been smarter, he''d have made it an ad and had someone pay him loads of money for the attention it would garner.

I''m sure the principal was laughing just as hard as everyone else - but he couldn''t very well officially condone the prank.

Fantastic prank...nothing profane or vulgar. Just a good dupe.

And to Trueprogress, if this was "anti feminist" as you assert, that is just a bonus. Get over yourself.

As a college PROFESSOR OF WOMEN''''S STUDIES, I can define here a more subtle, anti women and anti feminist agenda, which is so obvious. His choice of words ? Is there a "pass" given for this ?

"We Suck?"------OK, I must be missing your point here somewhere, ''cause I''m not seeing anything anti-woman or anti-feminist in those two words. Of course, if you''re inferring a sexual connotation there, then both men and women were duped on that one, so your argument is still confusing. Unless YOU''RE argument is just a prank as well.

Awesome job, guys! Enjoy the mandatory "vacation" I''m sure you''ll have a permanent smile for years over this one.

[edjohn66]

Who got hurt? Was it profane? Was it openly offensive?

NO. I say nice work, guys! A harmless prank -- evan an intricate one -- is always good to remind people to lighten up a bit!

Take your punnishment with pride. You did a trick that everyone in the country is talking about. Isn''t that worth a little suspension?

Job well done, kids!

"It seems like the harshness of the penalty, a semester of no extracurricular activities, is out of proportion to this prank."

I''m betting these kids don''t to a lot of sports and clubs, so it really seems like a "non-punishment" to me. Maybe that''s why the principals chose that punishment, since it would give the appearance of punishment without creating any negative consequences for the pranksters.

[mennowoman]

It sounds pretty funny to me.

But I can see the principal''s point about it being poor sportsmanship.

I guess ultimately, you shouldn''t do the crime if you can''t do the time. ;-)
