Judge: Teen's crude prank 'beyond stupid'

[snopes]

A former Wheaton North High School student was given a chance to keep a crude prank off his permanent record, but not before a judge gave him a good scolding.

Marco Castro, 17, pleaded guilty earlier to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for tainting salad dressing in the school cafeteria with his bodily fluids.

Ew. Ew ew ew.

Also, how did these students "become aware" of what he did in order to report him?? Did he go bragging about it? If he did, does that kind of fly in the face of how "bad" he said he felt afterwards?

All in all, I do think the sentence was pretty fair though. JMO. Though I'm not thrilled at a couple of the contingencies, like remaining in college and remaining in counseling (why was he in it already I wonder?) Nothing against college at all, just saying circumstances can change a whole lot in two years and who knows if he'll face the hard choice of needing to take a job immediately, or if he fails or something?

Just a guess, but I'd say he probably DID brag about it... a young male doesn't do something like this just to snigger about it to himself, he does it so that he can tell his friends and they can all snigger about it.

The sad thing is, I'm not at all surprised that a teenage male would do this... some of the things they were doing when I went to HS (coincidentally enough, at that same HS lol) were pretty close to just as bad as this.

For some reason, in that area, using that particular bodily fluid to torment other kids or pull pranks has been enormously popular ever since I went to school there. It might have something to do with Wheaton having the highest number of churches per capita of any city in the US. Just look at the yellow pages... 22 per page, 63 pages worth of churches lol.

How come we're three posts in and nobody's made the "tossed salad" joke yet? We're slipping, people...

If I'd seen this thread earlier I would have...

Castro told police he developed the prank after watching a movie which features a series of crude stunts.

Is the film industry to blame? (I wonder what film it was)

Well, you definitely might get an idea of that type watching one of the jackass movies; though in Fight Club there were plenty of crude "pranks" being pulled by the Fight Club guys, and one of them was a cook or waiter peeing into (some kind of soup) and supposedly we didn't want to know what he did into...some other white creamy type of soup. Ok so I'm a little foggy, but it was very clear when watching it what they meant.

That's really awful, Lady Neeva. So how "bad" did he really feel afterwards if he was (and you're probably right here) going around laughing and bragging about it? He was only sorry he got caught. Not that everyone doesn't feel that way about some things, but still.

I thought it might have been one of the Jackass films (the clue being the "series of crude stunts" implying that was all there was to the film) but I wasn't sure...

[Lady Neeva]

My sister made the observation that it was Jackass right off the bat when I showed her the article. I didn't make the connection, but then, most of the movies I watch in theaters are either intended for kids (Shrek etc) or pretty tame and only get PG-13 ratings because of "some disturbing images or mild graphic violence" -- like Ghost Rider, which IMO the most disturbing thing in that movie was the brutal death by techno remix of a classic Johnny Cash song during the credits lol.

Does Jackass feature a masturbating-into-the-salad-cream section or was he inspired, simply by the revelation that crude stunts exist, to invent his own?

The same can be said of young females. There was an incident in a computer lab at my college, in which a number of computers were destroyed after someone peed on the keyboards. (Maybe it was only the keyboards that were destroyed - I can't recall for sure.) For obvious reasons, everyone assumed the perpetrator was male, but it turned out to be a young woman. Since no one was even considering female suspects (understandably, I don't deny), she almost certainly would have gotten away with it except that she let it slip to a couple of friends.

Has anybody seen the movie Waiting?

The previews had some gross pranks...

There's a scene in Van wilder utilizing "cream" puffs and a bulldog.
And a similar type of thing in American Pie (one of the 4 to date) involving a beer and...'nuff said.

Fight Club...

He was the guerrilla terrorist of the
food service industry.

TYLER
Don't watch. I can't if you watch.

Jack waits. The SOUND of a STREAM of LIQUID is HEARD.

TYLER
... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

JACK
He farted on meringue; he sneezed on
braised endive; and, with creme of
mushroom soup, well...

TYLER (O.S.)
Go ahead. Say it.

JACK
You get the idea.

Sir! Anything you order is free of

Why is it free of charge?

JACK
Because... I'm Tyler Durden.

MARLA
Then, I'll have the clam chowder...
fried chicken and a baked potato with
everything and a chocolate chiffon
pie.

Jack look to the pass-through WINDOW into the kitchen where
THREE COOKS look out with STITCHES in their faces.

JACK
Clean food, please.

WAITER
In that case, sir, may I advise
against the lady eating the clam
chowder?

JACK
Thanks, no clam chowder. That's it.

Heh. Fight Club.

There was also one of those "Caught on the Job" shows I saw recently on the Reality Channel, and there was a guy in a bakery who was ejaculating into the cream-filled donuts (I don't think they were eclairs.) Ok it might have just been the tub of cream filling; but there was no question what he was doing. Caught on a security-type camera in the kitchen. There were some instances of peeing in the show but that was the only one I saw with THAT being done. That's just all kinds of wrong.
