High school cheerleader coach and assistant coach fired after topless pictures of coach (19 years old) and one of the cheerleaders (thought to be 15) end up online.  Link

WTF are people thinking?  It's Ok to post pictures of topless 15 year olds?

I think it's amusing that the article found it necessary to point out that the pictures were hi-res...

And then gave you three places to find the original. You know...just in case.

Goshen Superintendent Charlene Thomas said that the school board fired 19-year-old assistant coach Andrew Emerson for hosting the party and 19-year-old freshman cheerleader coach Victoria Schattauer for allegedly providing alcohol to a freshman at the party.  

"They are not role models we want for our students," Thomas said.

They hired a 19 year old male to be an assistant coach for a highschool cheerleading squad.  How did they not see anything except this as a potential outcome?  

And lol @ them for thinking a couple of 19 year olds would make positive role models. 

Having said all that, it appears that there is a coaching vacancy so I suppose it's time to update my resume.

That was my thought, too.  But they did put a disclaimer in there saying no one is forcing anyone to click.

Drug Scare: Kids in Florida are Getting High by Sniffing Feces
by Scott Morgan on Mon, 11/05/2007 - 6:30pm

You can urine test them. You can take away their financial aid for college. But you can't stop the kids from getting high. Some people will try anything, and I don't think arresting them is going to help:
On 09/19/07 Cpl. Disarro received and email from a concerned parent regarding a new drug called "Jenkem". The parent advised their child learned about this drug through various conversations with several students at Palmetto Ridge High.

Jenkem originated in Africa and other third world countries by fermenting raw sewage to create a gas which is inhaled to achieve a high. Jenkem is now a popular drug in American Schools. Jenkem is a homemade substance which consists of fecal matter and urine. The fecal matter and urine are placed in a bottle or jar and covered most commonly with a balloon. The container is then placed in a sunny area for several hours or days until fermented. The contents of the container will separate and release a gas, which is captured in the balloon. Inhaling the gas is said to have a euphoric high similar to ingesting cocaine but with strong hallucinations of times past. [Snopes]

This doesn't sound like a good idea. But what shall we do about it? You can't pop people for poop possession, or piss-test people for piss sniffing. Should we launch a massive public education campaign warning kids that fermenting their excrement and breathing in the resulting fumes will get them wasted? That could backfire.

So I don't know what the solution is. For starters, we should wait to see if this is a real problem or just another hysterical response to a couple gross, though isolated, incidents. If there really is a rising trend of Florida youths sniffing fermented feces, maybe it's just an overreaction to the Miami DEA Chief's recent claim that marijuana will kill you.

Jenkem Madness?
Reports of a Nasty Drug in Florida

Huff, huff, please don't give. Never has the saying, "Kids do the darndest things" been more apt. According to an Information Bulletin from the Collier County Sheriff's Office in Naples, Fla., youngsters in Florida may be using human waste to get high.

Yes, you read that right: human waste. The county's Criminal Intelligence Bureau has issued a report that "several students at Palmetto Ridge High school are experimenting with a new drug called "Jenkem." The bulletin, dated Sept. 26, states that so-called "Jenkem" -- the etymology is unclear -- originated in Africa and other third world countries where there is an abundance of its main ingredient: "raw sewage."

Makers "harvest" the drug by fermenting the sewage in a container with a balloon on top, which fills with gas. (And you thought making crystal meth smelled bad.) That gas is then inhaled to achieve a hallucinogenic and reportedly euphoric high, though how one could remain euphoric with a mouth full of that is anyone's guess.

The bulletin goes on to state that "jenkem is now a popular drug in American Schools." This seems doubtful, to say the least. The ever-reliable Snopes.com, for instance, rates the claim as "undetermined," noting that there have been very few reports of its use in the last decade. WINK-TV News in Florida, which reported the story after discovering the bulletin on Snopes, interviewed students at Collier County high schools. All denied having heard of it and claimed that the concept was "gross."

Still, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Agency insists that "there are people in America trying [Jenkem]." The DEA has yet to test Jenkem, he said -- a lot of volunteers for that job! -- but he said it is possible to experience hallucinations from methane fumes. He called use of the drug "dangerous, bad and stupid."

On that, at least, we can agree. It's one thing for parents to walk in on a child smoking a joint. Imagine the after school specials they'll have to make if Jenkem ever becomes popular.

You really cannot stop people from trying to get farged up...

You know, maybe letting kids smoke a little weed isn't such a bad idea after all.  Just wish it didn't smell so bad.

Are you contending MJ doesn't smell delicious?  Incorrect.

Out of the skillet, patted on a paper towel to remove some grease and nestled between two slices of pepper jack cheese.
