Ahh, that is just too awesome...can't believe that you got suspended for that, though—It was a harmless prank. Hella funny, as well.
 
Just saw it pop up on my iGoogle homepage, but I think it may exagerate the punishment a little...

Today I'm proud to be a MacRumors member :) I just read about this on Fark today, and then came across this thread just now.

Sucks you're getting punished, but that's life. If I was your Principal, I'd give you a high five :)
 
digg frontpage take out some ads man! congrats i think it was awesome and you should tell your home team to support you and the others to screw off
 
this is way over the top. you americans sure know how to exaggerate a point. in australia no1 would care hahahaha.


It wouldn't have even got off the ground here. Give one of those kits to an Aussie and tell him to do as you say and this is what you'd get back:


Get ****ed! **** off! Hold up your own piece of bloody paper, you turkey!
 
Hey man you made it on the local news in Cincinnati. I was watching the news and they showed the clip and explained it and I started yelling how you post on macrumors haha
 

If you've read what CalTech did at the 1961 Rose Bowl to the University of Washington cheering section, here's what they pulled off when they changed the placard sequence:

1) Changed the look of the UW huskie to a CalTech beaver.
2) Reversed the HUSKIES to SEIKSUH.
3) Put in a placard sequence that said CALTECH.

What was so amazing was that the UW cheering section stopped right at #3, when the CalTech students did not change the next and final placard sequence!

It's been considered the #1 all time college prank by many people.

Here's a picture of the final placard sequence that made history:

My buddy was on the frontpage of digg and fark and all those sites for some stupid blog entry last week. He thought he was God's gift to the Internet.
 
Congrats on your feat...it was awesome to see you show up on three sites that I visit with regularity...ESPN, Digg, and Macrumors....great job
 
I think the school officials are afraid next time somebody will pull a harmful prank, so they try to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. They don't want to be blamed later if somebody gets hurt. I'd say punish the dangerous ones, let the harmless ones go.
 
This is cool. This is the 1.st time I've read this post. I clicked on it and saw the picture, and the local news just aired the same story while I was reading it. This is about the coolest thing I've seen in a while, and the timing was awesome. You're a celebrity. A celebrity in a load of trouble, but still cool. Prank of the decade, but a bad idea at the same time.
 
This story also made the Toronto news. They said the Youtube posting was taken down. :( I really wanted to check it out when I got home.
 
This is great, and surely they can't punish you?

If that ever happened over here in the UK, we'd all just laugh and admit that we'd been done.

MA.

Edit: Uh, well maybe not in Liverpool.
