And our schools become a subject of satire....

...somewhat deservingly, really. Thanks to pheon for the link to this little gem. Small quote:

Portland, OR - The school board of the recently merged Eaton and Franklin High Schools announced that 1,200 students would be laid off as part of their cost-cutting measures.

School Superintendent Marisa Fargman said, "We've got a lot of duplication among the students now that the merger is complete. Fifteen homecoming queen candidates is way too many for a district of our size, and 85 nerds is more than our jocks and preps can adequately harass."
