Homecoming court "bad boys" disciplined for sexual gesture

The four boys' gestures were captured in a Chillicothe Gazette photo and weren't noticed until after the photo was printed in the Saturday edition. The photo has been removed from the Gazette's Web site. (Chillicothe Gazette)

The shocker strikes again!

[JR]

So what was the gesture?

[LimeGreenLizard]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................

[Phranqlin]

Lame.

[buddy]

jr, you must be old. it, obviously, was the shocker.

I agree this sounds like another shocker sighting, but the students' cover story is all wrong.

The friend needed to have two fingers taken off by the sharks. And sharks in Ohio - I'd have gone with a badger attack.

Maybe the larger story is the need for a creative writing program at Chillicothe High.

I'm pretty sure only one finger be missing... two in the ____ and one in the ____. The thumb just kinda does its own thing.

^I love that name!

You know what I found refreshing? That they were punishing the boys but nobody was calling them terrorists or demanding that they be expelled, Tasered, prevented from graduating or some other idiotic overreaction. Is it possible that reason and discretion have crept back into our school systems this year?

Oh poo!

This is also the University of Houston hand-sign dating back to the 50s!

And most recently it has been ripped-off by Arizona State.

Not too many badgers in Ohio. Coyotes would be more likely, with the occasional wandering bear.

If it were one of my kids that did this I would have to abide by the school's rules and if that meant suspension then so be it. I would just take my kid out all day to, I don't know, an amusement park, the movies, golfing, whatever he wanted to do.

You see, this is called a HARMLESS PRANK, and when I went to school we did this type of thing all the time.

Once again, this country showing that we have turned into a nation of SPINELESS PU$$IES and school administrators showing they have no B@LLS and are pandering to the holier than thou puritans.

Before anyone says 'my kid will see that picture and ask what it means'..your kid already knows what it means and has probably done it 100 times already. Save that argument.

It is stories like this that has made me agree with my wife that she has to handle issues at school and not me. If this were my kid getting punished I would be going berserk on the administration and would be on every TV station in the City badmouthing the school, and probably would end up in jail.

I am an adult parent and I have to say, today's adult parents are just plain dip$hitS.

[Bad Girl]

My gf LOVES the shocker! :-)

[sometimesilie]

I'm old too...what's the shocker?

[RockyMtnMac]

*shaking my head @ STIL..
Learn it. Your gf will thank you..
LOL!
I think jj2 hit the nail on the head.

[axisofweevils]

@STIL - here's a tasteful rendition of the schocker

Please note that the shocker practitioner displayed at that link uses his thumb to pin down the ring finger.

According to Jack, a more dexterous practitioner would be able to complete the manuever without the aid of the thumb. My pinkie quivers when I try that, but I am amused by the idea that lower primates can be part of this great American institution.

[mickie]

axisofweevils: As a woman, I can only say that the pinkie quivering would be a good thing...

@RMM- You ROCK lady!!!

[Bill]

Back in 1972 or 1973 Larry Csonka of the Miami Dolphins amd a teammate got there middle fingers onto the cover of Sports Illustrated, still I am impressed.

This will be a great story for one of these kids to tell if they are ever on Jeopardy!. In fact, if I ever get on Jeopardy!, I might just tell it myself. It is more interesting than anything I can talk about from my High School

[troschne]

I agree with lambiepie. This must have been some big doin's in Chillicothe--it made the newspaper. What's next--"Don't Miss the Paint Drying Festival This Weekend" headline?

[Sigh]

I suppose it depends on what the discipline was -- a three day suspension would have been pretty ridiculous, but getting an hour of detention wouldn't be out of line.

[big adew about nothing]

The biggest problem with this story is that at least the "king" in the picture has 2 fingers (ring and pinkie) half way up - the rest are down - like a shark bite. But public outcry always wins over the facts when it comes to school administrators.
