eididdy's got my back on the News Of The Stupid Fucking Teacher

[theweaselking]

High school student arrested and charged with "terrorism" for writing a short story for English class that involves zombies overruning a school.

"My story is based on fiction," said William Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."

Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.

Poole disputes that he was threatening anyone.

"It didn't mention nobody who lives in Clark County, didn't mention (George Rogers Clark High School), didn't mention no principal or cops, nothing," said Poole. "Half the people at high school know me. They know I'm not that stupid, that crazy."

As Lee points out, this does mean that owning a copy of Carrie thus carries a felony "terrorism" charge in Kentucky.

Lord, forget Carrie, what about Heathers?

"Heathers? What is Heathers? We in Kentucky know nothing of Heathers. No such un-movie has ever or will ever be made. And now you know too much. No charges, just OFF TO CUBA WITH YOU."

Well, really, it was only a matter of time... *goes quietly*

Or watching "Buffy", I guess.

...I wonder if anyone can convince Joss Whedon to appear as an expert witness in this trial.

I'm perfectly okay with putting teenagers in jail for watching Buffy. That's the price you *should* pay for such an abysmal lack of taste.

Maybe we can let people watch it, but put them in jail for writing fanfic and wasting internet space with whines about how sexy James Marsten is. That's a decent compromise, I suppose.

Heathen.

However, I'm with you on the writing of fanfic, but I don't think that should be limited to Buffy.

I got your back on all this too buddy.

My mom writes buffy slash.

On the one hand your plan would put my mom in jail, which I'm against. On the other hand, ewwww.
