Is it sad that I'm laughing at this? http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/12002470528958/wtf-causing-commotion-in-wakefield/ For those too lazy to click on the link, a school near me is facing some serious trouble because the track and field team's sweaters spell WTF. The shirts were not bought through the school, but earned through boosters. I'm kind of having mixed feelings about this. While yes, I catch the double meaning that the untrained, non-gutter minded might not (but just how many of them are there now?), I can't help but wonder if the track team did it on purpose simply because they knew it would garner this kind of attention.
Seriously? How long has the group gone by that name? It's not anybody going "lololol WTF has a double meaning!" Unless the group was just named 2 years ago. There's a thing called coincidence... why can't the bureaucrats see that?
Because that would make too much sense....? They've only had the sweaters for a few weeks now, and have continued to wear them despite what's been going on.
Excuse me while I die of laughter for five minutes. *leaves and intermission music plays* *comes back still holding sides* Thank you, anyway... Wow, this article for someone like myself who's usually very vocal has left me speechless. I just... Wow... The first thing that popped in my head, no offense to author of thread... Did anyone wonder before this that this would become a problem later on? I guess the boosters never twittered, IM'd, facebooked, and god-knows what else. Oh yeah, go to a forum. It'd be funny if they did and thought it meant their school. Isn't it like 2% of the population that doesn't use facebook? Geez... Anyway, wow... That's quite a dilemma, funny, but I understand why they'd be upset. My mom understands some leet or w/e speak and she doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. I guess they should remove it just for their dignity of the school. Again, apologies to the author if I offended you, considering it's your school.
Oh, no, it's not my school, little too old now to be in high school (unless you know of a 22-year old freshman...?) It's just 30 minutes from where I live currently. I think what just baffles me is why didn't anyone catch this BEFORE the shirts got printed. Surely somebody should have seen how these were going to come out and had a red flag moment.
