Students Choose Pimping As A Career

[matcom]

<snip>

STUDENTS at a New Zealand secondary school have listed prostitution and drug dealing on a list of desirable careers.

The job list, which also includes stripping and pimping, appeared in the year book at Kawerau College in the central North Island.

The book featured students' hopes about what they would like to do when they leave school and included suggestions such as brothel worker, drug lord, dope dealer, dope packer, stripper, pimp, beneficiary, druggie and "living on the street".

The Society for the Promotion of Community Standards, said Saturday that the legalising of prostitution in New Zealand earlier this year had created a climate in which students viewed prostitution, pimping and stripping as attractive and viable forms of legal work.

The yearbook probably represented the values of many young people, the morals watchdog said in a statement.

3. I wonder if anyone's considered...

...that they're playing the old game of 'Let's frighten the old people', or perhaps just being silly??

5. That was my first thought

I'd bet money that the kids aren't serious. I mean "living on the streets"? Let's be real here. These kids wanted to get a reaction from the adults, and if it's being reported on the other side of the globe, they succeeded in spades. The correct response would've been "Cute, kids. Real cute."

My favorite story of this kind is from my sister's graduating year. The class chose "FIYAS" as their class motto. For reasons that escape me, none of the adults asked what it meant; they just accepted it because they had heard the kids using it to one another most of the year. It stands for "Fuck It: You're A Senior."

Yet it was printed up in the program for the graduation ceremony and everything. It was only after the ceremony that someone broke the news to the principal.

Adults. We sure are dumb.

So many wasted weeks.
