This is appalling until you realize it is a complete hoax. Then it’s just sad.
Luckily, we are still at a place where hoaxes are fairly easy to spot, although I admit this one had me going for a few minutes. The teacher guiding the actor out on to stage is a nice touch that added a degree of realism.
Is this brilliant Web 2.0 / Social Media marketing? My guess is “no”. We already know who made it — less than 12 hours after it was posted. However, I can’t yet determine “why” it was made.
P.S. If you don’t think it’s a hoax, Google cindymomof6’s alma mater: Mount Canyon High School.
