Honestly, I was just like...hey, there's a HUGE game coming up, and I'd like to do something fun. I'm not really a big prankster, but I'm not like some type of huge nerd...well, I am...but I just thought it would be a funny thing to do after seeing the whole yale v harvard one. I think that most people were surprised that of all people to do a good prank, it was me..

Thats nothing.
A couple of years ago in a neighboring city, they were playing playoffs and someone ran across the field in the nude. Expelled, ticketed and tackled by 5 policeman.

See, I think someone streaking through a crowded stadium is one of the least funny pranks ever. It takes no thought, completely mindless, and you just look like an ass.
LOL, that is classic.
Some people have no sense of humor though. Some people just need to learn to laugh it off and call it a day.

^ olddddddd. MIT and Caltech constantly pull pranks on each other. I think the best one was with t shirts. Caltech students handed out t-shirts during one of MIT's orientation, and on the front it says "MIT" but on the back it said "Because not everyone can get into Caltech." lawwwlllll
So right now, I'm awaiting trial. The school administrators are having me come in tomorrow morning at 7:30 so they can figure out my punishment. My two accomplices both received 3 days in school suspension and a ban from all extracurricular activities.
Lame, eh?
Anyways, check out the video on Break.com, and I'd appreciate it if you can DIGG it!

it took me a good minute to actually realise what it said. i had to unfocus my eyes!!! hahaha this is a classic prank!!! i love it. i doubt nething will happen, cept they might hurt you haha/ nice
So, today i received my punishment. Along with a ban from all extracurricular activities, Im in "in school suspension"...which is essentially nothing. All my work is sent to the office, while i sit and do the work quitetly. They dont supervise me, so I just listen to music all day, and im getting the penalty lessened by helping them orchestrait a student sign saying "go cats" or something.
Really? Wow! That's a little over the top. Somebody needs a sense of humor. (LOL, and I don't mean you, since you appear to have a great one). People these days take too much seriously. It's not like you really did anything bad.
I am thinking that those really angry parents tried to get the school to offer a more serious punishment and in the end the came to a compromise. I agree with others, that is a harmless prank that took brain power to do. It did no physical or mental harm to anyone.
hey there,
first of all, i can't even see what you did..i'm missing something?
secondly, f*ck them. the problem with today's society is that too many people are so STUCK up and so SELFISH, either from being so stuck up or so stressed at their jobs, that they can't take a joke. it's actually quite sad.
good for you. hey, as long as no one was injured, keep doing it. (and as long as future pranks aren't against the law). i mean, honestly, changing the words to a sign isn't that big of a deal.
when i worked (stay at home Dad now), i pranked a ton of people...stuff like taking balls out of the computer mice, leaving my own daily voicemail msg on other people's vmail etc... etc.. the absolute best was pranking a higher level manager that he need an internal acquisition form to get cookies, popcorn and pop from another floor. that was hysterical.
i think it's great.
keep up the good work.
hell, next year, i'd do the same thing and put " we still suck"

I'm glad you didn't get in any trouble. Parents today are way too over-protective with their kids. It's sickening. We're going to have a nation of pansies in 30 years
Pranks are great. They used to be held in high regard among both students and administrators in high schools. Today, parents are too uptight to allow these travesties to happen. If a prank is funny, generally harmless, and clever, I consider it one of the better ways to express creativity and leadership in high school students. Of course, these real life skills are supressed in today's high schools.
Man, I sound like I am really dating myself, but I am only 21! I tried to pull off a prank senior year, but it failed miserably. There were two sucessful pranks, one was too harmful (manuer covering all the enterances to the school) and one was too lame (filling the principals office with baloons). At least the manuer one had some balls.
Anyways, nice job. Go shoe horns, or whatever you are.

Excellent. The kudos will be worth 100x the punishment which is, as far as I can tell, pretty benign. How long does the suspension last before you have to listen to teachers like everyone else in the school?
And why can't I find the video anywhere?

Great job!
Suspension lasts several days but you'll be telling this story forever. Totally worth it.

The problem with society is that too many people suffer from lack of food, medical care, safe housing and clean clothing.
With respect to this matter: From what I can tell, the "punishment" is in line with the "crime." So, if you truly have a sense of humor, the only issue worth considering, after the fact, is: Was it worth it?
Personally, I appreciate the prank. Although repetitive, it was ultimately harmless, and it took a fair amount of coordination to execute. At the same time, I understand why the people involved--the students, parents and school officials--may be less than amused. Blaming them for being upset by the prank is not only immature, it's "sad," "stuck up" and "selfish."
Like it or not, breaking the rules violates a social compact. Boundaries of what is acceptable behavior exist between friends, among families and, especially, within communities and institutions. To the extent that not everyone finds the same stuff funny, you can't cross these lines and then rely on other people to laugh along or the "I-was-just-being-funny defense" to get you off the hook.

That's hilarious. But whatever title you once held, to empower you to pull off something like this, will be short lived. I still think it's funny, though. Nicely done.
Well said.
Good one!
Don't worry, you haven't committed any crime, there will be no criminal charges. How the school treats you will depend largely on whether or not they have any sense of humour at all. There's a long history of such pranks pulled against rivals; it's all part of the fun. Nobody got hurt, everybody had a good laugh, no damage was done.
