Jackass of the Month - September

From The Dallas News:

Banana chasing gorilla stunt at Flower Mound High football game gets teens arrested

Police and school officials in Flower Mound do not mess around. They apparently do not have a sense of humor either.

Two students pulled a relatively hilarious and harmless prank during a Flower Mound High School football game on Friday night. One dressed as a banana and the other as a gorilla and, shockingly, the banana chased the gorilla across the football field.

As the YouTube video shows, the cops didn't think it was very funny and arrested the teens. But a spokesman for the Flower Mound police threw school officials under the bus, telling reporters that it was the district that demanded the cops take the teens to jail, where they stayed overnight.

A Lewisville Independent School District spokeswoman did not dispute that claim.

"When students disrupt an educational environment or an educational program, we will press charges," spokeswoman Kern Permetti told NBC 5.




I'm all for law and order, but come on...this was good, clean fun. So, my first Jackass of the Month award will be shared by the Flower Mound Police Department and Lewisville Independent School District Administration. It's pretty bad, people, when I'm telling you to loosen up.
