Student and Parent Kissing Prank goes Viral
Minneapolis, MN-US


Blindfolded athletes were tricked into kissing their own parents at a pep rally prank, and now the Minnesota high school’s principal is saying sorry.

Responding to several complaints after a video of the ‘incest prank’ video went viral on YouTube, Rosemount High School Principal John Wollersheim released a statement:

“This activity was intended to be fun, but some found it offensive,” he wrote. “We apologize to anyone who was offended by this activity.

During the pep rally, several captains of the school’s sport teams were lined up against a wall in the gymnasium, wearing blindfolds.

They were told they would be kissed by a “special someone,” ABC News reported, not knowing that person would be their parent.

The video shows one woman, presumed to be the mother of the blindfolded boy with whom she’s locking lips, grabbing her son’s hand and placing it in the back pocket of her jeans.

Another student, after an unknowing makeout session with his mother, was asked if he knew who his kissing partner was. All he knew, he said, is that she had “luscious lips.”

While flooded without outside complaints, Wollersheim told the Associated Press that he had received no objections from the school’s athletes or parents.

In fact, he’s gotten some positive feedback, he said.

“I think people need to have more of a sense of humor! Kudos to you for all that you do – as I do not feel as a parent there was anything offensive about the video,” wrote one person in an email, which Wollersheim shared with the news service.

Still, Wollersheim understands the gravity of the concern sparked by the video.

“As principal, I’m responsible for everything that happens in this school,” he said. “This event offended people, and pep fests should have nothing that offends people.”

The principal also pointed out that the viral videos only show a tiny part of what was a thirty-minute event.

“If I was just watching that clip, I wouldn’t like what I was seeing either,” he said.

Re: US Student and Parent Kissing Prank goes Viral

That's not a mature prank at all.
 
Re: US Student and Parent Kissing Prank goes Viral

that is the most disgusting and vile thing I have ever seen. this west is a F***** place to be. How can a school school condone these kinds of acts, yet alone promote it? How can the parents of these kids willingly agree to participate in such a thing, its outright horrendous and disturbing.. WTF, I am honestly disturbed. Especially at the sight of seeing the parent and the child on the floor of the gym getting at it ... truly scarring, please refrain from posting such stories ever again

Why? Muslims need to see the type of western education they love to give their kids by putting them in these school systems.
 
Re: US Student and Parent Kissing Prank goes Viral

This is exactly what happens when people make their desires the basis for what's wrong and right. All sense of right and wrong eventually becomes corrupted.

First, there is no need to swear. Second, this prank does not represent the entire western world. Third, disturbing acts occur throughout the world.

Your generalising. This type of behaviour does not occur in every western school.

We need to avoid generalising.

immoral behavior occurs in every school, doesn't have to be exact same thing. do you want me to start posting each individual incidents for you to get the picture?

Salaam,

Every school? I assume your saying that it does not matter what school a Muslim goes to, since immoral behaviour occurs in all schools...right? : O

Go ahead.

Yeah, I went to a school that wasn't run by weirdos like this one, and so disgusting things like this didn't tend to happen. That stuff is just wrong.

wa'salaams

you must be the product of these western schools that is why you don't see any thing wrong in them. On example should be enough to know what kind of stuff goes and can go on in there, is that the influence and atmosphere Muslims want to put their kids in?
 
Re: US Student and Parent Kissing Prank goes Viral

This is disgusting.

But what do I know?

50 years ago the west found homosexuality disgusting, but now they are promoting it everywhere in the world.

Maybe 50 years from now the west will implement incestuous marriage/sex rights.

Anything is possible in a society where people have no criterion for good and bad, only what their desires dictate to them. Look at the society of prophet Lut (saw), I think that's the one where they were all gay, and the whole society thought it was good and nothing wrong with it. That's what happens eventually when people have no guidance except for the guidance of shaytaan, degradation of society.

lets not forget that these actions were not appreciated by everyone there who was present. the whole article is actually about how some of the attendance there were "felt offended by the sketch" and that the principal had stated he would not do anything of this sort again.

so I am not here to take sides but just want to point out that although you might find a few bad apples in the western society you should not generalize and attribute such acts to the rest of the population.

Despite some being offended, the fact remains that such a thing has happened and if you read carefully, this isn't the first time either they done it. You are missing the point, that being such immoral things take place in western public schools and it is an unisalmic environment Muslims put their kids in. If you can't understand that point then i guess we are done here.

:sl:

Yes, I was educated in Britain. That does not mean I am incapable of not identifying immoral acts. In all schools, there are some that students misbehave and are rude. So I'm certain we all can agree that immoral behaviour occurs in all schools, not just in schools in the west.

Now please address my post.

Here you were implying that one particular behaviour in that video can be generalised throughout all western schools. You were generalising.

This was your next response:

mmoral behavior occurs in every school, doesn't have to be exact same thing

So I will say it again. According to your statement above, you are implying that it does not matter what school an individual goes to, since immoral behaviour occurs in every school and it does not have to be the exact same thing. Right?

On example should be enough to know what kind of stuff goes and can go on in there, is that the influence and atmosphere Muslims want to put their kids in?

You just need one example (in this case a video) to enable you to make an informed decision? So I guess this video below is all you need to have a thorough understanding of Islamic schools in the UK?

Post away. I'm still waiting.

Salaam,

The problem is you cannot prove this sort of prank occurs in all western public schools. You have no evidence to support this. If you have, I suggest you post it, so we can end this discussion.
