PBR put to good use at a Winnetka HS
Posted in News on May 30th, 2009 by tjelliottHigh school pranks are getting weaker.
Seniors from New Trier High School in Winnetka found a way to slip a picture of a student drinking a Pabst Blue Ribbon into their yearbook, according to UPI.com.
The Beer of Hipsters… and high schoolers?
While this is probably tasteless, and a bit ridiculous, the real story are the high school administrators who have decided this is a terrible thing to do to a yearbook.
“It’s clearly defiant and subversive and intentional,” says spokeswoman Laura Blair.
Principal Linda Yonke did not consider the prank harmless.
“It sort of casts a pall over the whole yearbook,” Yonke said.
Really? One picture ruins your yearbook? I’m not worried so much that kids are drinking underage as the fact that a PBR can can be called “defiant and subversive.”
Good pranks should always, in my opinion, be slightly dangerous. Like this one from the UK. Driving cars into your high school? Awesome.
