Best Prank Ever?



In Blogsville, it seems that the state of Ohio makes a casual appearance from time to time. Well, this time is none the different. We're going to stray from the NFL for a second and head down the path of good ol' High School Football.

Meet Kyle Garchar. This Hilliard, Ohio High School student has recently been suspended and banned from all extracurricular activities due to a slight prank.

Through over 20 hours spanning three days, Garchar plotted out a scheme that would eventually make an opposing rival team spell out the words "We Suck" with colored cards during the game.

It sounds like the student would have gotten away with the prank had he not posted it on the ever-helpful YouTube. Though he sited another incident as inspiration (pictured above), Principal John Bandow would have nothing of the sort.

"We weren't expecting it to be such a severe punishment," said Jen Trimmer, 17, one of the students involved. "We just thought it was all in good fun."

In all seriousness, three days of "in-school" suspension is like a vacation that just forces you to wake up early. Considering that the students involved likely just sat there laughing about what they had done for three days, it wasn't much of a punishment at all. In fact, making them go to class likely would have been worse.

Now the "Best Prank Ever" title is likely a bit much. However, to the kids that made it, I can understand their appreciation for their own work.

Oh, and for those that want to see it in action, here's the vid... Enjoy.
