    I see no problem with tattoo training wheels. Why not?

    I worked in a beach bar and if this is the only thing going on in the bathrooms, I'm so down.

    This was DEFINITELY in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Remember? Somebody at the ad agency is a frustrated English major.

    Heard they're going to try something similar for piercing parlor advertising. Hope that soap's antibacterial!

    This would have been a great idea...if they had had DOZENS OF KIDS do this. With one Valedictorian, it just seems like something one moron decided to do on her own.

    @Snarkastic: It's also pretty much the opposite of cool or appealing in any way. It's basically like Carrie at the Prom, only minus the cool telekinetic mayhem.

    The person the speaker calls out to is a crush, not a girlfriend or boyfriend, so the part about him having a girlfriend etc. is immaterial and suggests ignorance on your part. You obviously didn't see the movie, did you? Oh.... uh... I guess that was the point of the article.

    Fox could come up with $1800 but not an extra $20 in cinema passes so the valedictorian would actually have seen the movie? Payroll fail.

    Kenya now has $1,800, which puts her $1,800 ahead of most other high school grads and, for that matter, most college students! "And I only sold out a little bit," says Kenya.

    At my high school graduation I was motivated, by the fact that we were at the state fairgrounds, to cup my hands around the microphone and re-enact a Monster Truck advertisement.

    Many in the building were left confused and disappointed, however, when Big Foot did not actually appear.

    Reminds me of Universal's ill-fated viral campaign for United 93 (three major bombings in Egypt along with a new Bin Laden video the week of release). All that and they could only score an 11m weekend, second place to Barry Sonnenfeld's RV.
