- preppypoof, on 09/15/2009, -0/+53Funny, the story says the kid lives in Alabama but I could have sworn that Eric Cartman lives in Colorado
- Lucas123, on 09/15/2009, -0/+34Wow. Beats "the dog ate it" by miles. You get sympathy, and, your parents are too busy being hysterical to call the school for a duplicate of the report card.
Of course there is that whole consequences thing of being grounded until your 18. - i23Photography, on 09/15/2009, -0/+27School just started and they're already giving out report cards? I actually feel bad for this kid then.... because he's not gonna make it to June.
- KMartSheriff, on 09/15/2009, -1/+15He must be asian or something. Wait, no then this would have never happened in the first place.
- ShrayMonks, on 09/15/2009, -1/+15your 18 what?
- Lloydinator, on 09/15/2009, -0/+12"See mom, there are far worse things than an F in Algebra. Please stop looking for the the skillet."
- swagv, on 09/15/2009, -0/+11Actually, it honestly makes me wonder about the culture of expectations that his parents have set up for him.
- JanusTheDoorman, on 09/15/2009, -0/+9What the hell did he expect to happen when his parents found out about his bad grades in the first place?
- dbossnirvana, on 09/15/2009, -0/+9I would've gone with Taliban terrorists instead. Adds more spice.
- rwhittak3, on 09/16/2009, -1/+9Geez, how strict are this kid's parents? He obviously fears them a lot more than any kid should.
- ennuisquared, on 09/15/2009, -0/+8I wonder what his grades were to go so far as to fake a kidnapping.
- RilDaddy, on 09/15/2009, -1/+9Must be nice to get drunk at work. No wonder why the news is so bad.
- navidb, on 09/15/2009, -1/+8I definately considered doing this when i was a kid
- axleF, on 09/16/2009, -1/+7your 18 pizzas
- yeahaboutthat, on 09/15/2009, -1/+7Wasted hours my ass. You people EXIST because of the public's fascination with horrific things that happen to children--maybe your personal time was wasted, but if you talk to your ad sales folks, I'll bet they have a different take on the whole thing....
- bringitontimx, on 09/15/2009, -1/+6local news stations are a lot of wasted hours.
- Truedirt, on 09/15/2009, -1/+6Flight this kid to Hollywood, he has a carreer in writting waiting for him. Why are his parents waisting his time in school?
- newman8r, on 09/15/2009, -1/+6no he didn't, if anything he helped your advertisers by providing a story
- MisterMajusty, on 09/16/2009, -1/+6So he doesn't end up like you.
- nullcodes, on 09/15/2009, -1/+5FYI, I put that *CENSORED* because I wasn't accusing any particular president of any particular country .. considering how universal the problem is.
- h4mx0r, on 09/16/2009, -0/+3Wow, this kid was way more hardcore than me. I just hid the report card and spoke of nothing until like a month later. This kid's got imagination.
- TallestSkil, on 09/16/2009, -0/+3Like in art for grades K-5 where you make the same fricking thing as everyone else. Leprechaun out of a paper plate and orange string, anyone?
- Nezacant, on 09/16/2009, -0/+3Is anyone else more surprised at the fact he's getting a report card in September?
- shaka776, on 09/16/2009, -0/+2Some school's have different schedules, often year-round, that would make it time for the report cards to come out.
- inactive, on 09/16/2009, -1/+3You think we might be pushing them a bit hard?
- Artology, on 09/15/2009, -0/+2What a creative little bastard!!! i like!! this guy has a future in marketing
- yocouchdigga, on 09/15/2009, -1/+3It may not be honest (at all) but that takes some balls, give credit where it's due.
- JoeParanoid, on 09/15/2009, -1/+2100 years ago, kids just faked religious sightings to get out of homework.
- zephc, on 09/15/2009, -0/+1I could have done that, but it starts to get suspicious after five or six kidnappings.
- JohnnySoftware, on 09/23/2009, -0/+1"Buy this product. It is perfectly safe."
- thejackyl, on 09/15/2009, -1/+2That kid's gonna get his ass beat.
- coasterswim, on 09/16/2009, -1/+2Too bad creativity is not a class.
- Propyne, on 09/15/2009, -0/+1He managed to escape with his band instrument, hahah! Did he have any bruises?
- Subduction, on 09/16/2009, -1/+2So I'm guessing you work in daycare? And this from someone who wrote in another thread:
"Tough-guy responses like that are why we read or see in the news, more and more, about road rage incidents and the like winding up with someone getting killed."
So you're only a tough guy when it comes to kids... - kitew, on 09/15/2009, -0/+1I used to be so stressed out by school and grades that I would think up schemes like this all the time. I usually reasoned myself out of them by the time I got home though (read: wimp).
- Denex, on 09/15/2009, -0/+1FTA: Sgt. Mark Roberts said police were suspicious that the boy was able to "escape" with his band instrument, but not his bookbag.
living is overrated. either i escape with my ***** flute or not at all. - nullcodes, on 09/15/2009, -2/+3Better than faking a *CENSORED* to hide a bad presidency.
- scy1192, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1Simpsons did it.
Except replace "grades" with "rap concert".
And yes, keep the "bad" in there - Razor512, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1the educational system needs to be better designed. they spend more time testing students than actually teaching them.
the parents may also be partly to blame also. Some parents take discipline so seriously that students may be driven to do things like this instead of finding the real reason why the student is having trouble in school. - TomTruelle, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1I'm very interested in knowing who said "mischievous kid" is. Could you clarify?
- McReynolds, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1What happened to nice grannies. My grandparents wouldn't have done that to me.
- yeahaboutthat, on 09/16/2009, -1/+2Too bad you didn't take the time to share a bit of the CONTEXT of that comment while trying to prove my supposed contradiction. You're as big of a coward as that little punk ass bitch kid. Your making a dumb and dishonest apples-oranges comparison.
- asgardshill, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1Good point. Maybe he goes to one of those year-round schools or something.
- BrokenCircle, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1I think someone's testicles finally dropped.
- Subduction, on 09/16/2009, -1/+2Ooh, now you're all tough with me? You want to jump out of your car and hit me with a baseball bat?
Not representing the context of your quote doesn't in any way change the understanding of it. You were making a (now we realize) dishonest effort to tell someone that striking back at someone is a bad thing and, even funnier, it was in the context of a thread about striking children.
Now you're coming out for beating the asses of "punk ass bitches."
You're a liar and hypocrite, taking whatever side you need to so you can do what you really enjoy most, which is lecturing people.
Get off your soapbox blowhard, you're making an ass of yourself. - LeoSaraceni, on 09/25/2009, -0/+1that's one smart boy.
- tonyteetime, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1I guess my dog ate the report card is too obvious ? so he must try to be more creative ?
- Chapman9110, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1The saying "Don't use a shot gun to kill a house fly" comes to mind.
- s0nicfreak, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1Perhaps it was from summer school?
