Mookee sent me this link. I understand that in today's day these things are unacceptable, but I'm thanking god right now I wasn't the one that had to suspend him. This is hilarious.

Rival Fans Victims Of ‘We Suck’ Prank
08/30/07 | AP

A meticulously organized high school prank is more than the subject of hallway gossip. It’s also a hit on the Internet.

An Ohio student tricked football fans from a crosstown rival school into holding up squares of construction paper at a stadium to spell out a message. The fans were told it would read “Go Darby.” Instead, it spelled out “We Suck.”

And the 20 hours spent snapping pictures, mapping out the bleachers, and strategically placing the construction paper ultimately earned the organizers thousands of viewers on YouTube — not to mention a three-day suspension.

Students at Hilliard Davidson High School said Kyle Garcher and a couple of his accomplices are also banned from participating in school activities for a semester.

Garcher said he was inspired by a similar prank pulled by Yale students in 2004, when Harvard fans were duped into holding up cards with the same message.
