I knew there was a reason I hated them. But I guess if you are dumb enough to wear them and annoy others around you, you deserve foot pain and parasites.

In an elaborate hoax, a CHP officer tells students that a classmate is dead in a drunk-driving incident. MADD says it saves lives. Some readers wonder.
I found this story off of Fark, which linked to a blog blasting this practice. The article says the practice has been going on for around 10 years, and to me is a great way to get to teenagers, let the "shit hit the fan" and the reality sink in that their actions have consequences. Check it out.
