An video article on CNN caught my eye this morning and I thought I would make a quick remark before heading on to work. The senior class of '08 at a high school in New Hampshire has a senior class t-shirt that reeks of double entendre. See Class of '08 T-shirts Spark Controversy at New Hampshire High School.
Basically, the t-shirt has High School Seniors written on the front, with "High" in large caps. On the back is "08" with the mascot's paw print (similar to the Penn State paw) next to the 08, so from a distance, it looks like ".08" which is the legal drinking limit in New Hampshire. And just to make it even clearer how clever this designer is, the phrase "Pushing the Limit" is written underneath their class year. If I could figure out how to post pictures on this thing, I certainly would put this on here for posterity.
Regardless, the t-shirt has pissed a lot of people off, and for no reason. It's a t-shirt people! Don't you remember the Big Johnson t-shirts from long ago? (the ones on that link are not nearly as funny or subtle as they used to be). If the high school is that concerned about it, why not just ban them. Frankly, I'm surprised no other high school class has come up with this. The designer (who I can only hope patented his idea) will make a fortune on this shirt. There's not a college, frat or senior class of '08 who won't have at least 10 members want to buy this. Look for it soon on ebay. And to the superintendent who is thinking, this isn't funny, I can only hope he is saying that as a public figure and to himself is thinking, yes it certainly is.

High school t-shirt cleverness and mayhem

Since education is a key factor in a person's life, it needs good planning and consideration. Right from the moment a child is ready to go to school, a guardian considers the best school from which he/she will benefit from. In various states the government schools offer free education, thanks to them. However in other schools, education is paid for and this brings about the need for school loans. To help pay for this education, some institutions are now offering school loans all the way from kindergarten to postdoctoral levels.

For disclosure, I have posted every comment that ever gets posted without editing. As soon as I figure out a way to edit comments, I will remove this link.
In fact, I have half a mind to delete it since (a) it has nothing to do with this post, (b) the IP address that it came from was 62.24.113.#, an unknown organization in the city of Nairobi, Kenya, Africa.
While this information may be legitimate, it could just as easily be a scam. So, if somehow this site pops up on a search for school loans, make sure you do your research. I can't endorse this site one way or another, mainly because I refuse to click on the link, but as always, make an informed decision. And caveat emptor (sort of applies).
