Student tricks rival fans into raising cards that spell "We Suck"

HILLIARD, Ohio (AP) -- A high school student who tricked football fans from a crosstown rival school into holding up squares of construction paper at a stadium that together spelled out, "We Suck," was suspended for the prank, students said.

Kyle Garchar, a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School in suburban Columbus, said he spent about 20 hours over three days plotting the trick, which was captured on video and posted on the video-sharing Web site YouTube.

Garchar said he was inspired by a similar prank pulled by Yale students in 2004, when Harvard fans were duped into holding up cards with the same message.

At the end of the video, Garchar wryly thanks the 800 parents, staff and alumni from Hillard Darby High School who raised the cards at the start of the third quarter during last Friday's game played at Crew Stadium, home of Columbus' Major League Soccer team.

6. Heh...

Gotta love those Hilliard district rivalries. Go Darby...I think not. ;)

[ElboRuum]

7. Suspended... Geez Louise.

No flippin' sense of humor. None at all. This kid should be applauded for introducing a bit of shenanigans back into the zero-tolerance-for-anything-of-any-sort-that-might-be-fun-even-if-it's-pretty-damn-innocent-land known as the modern American high school.

Hey, I thought it was funny.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

9. Any excuse to PUNISHPUNISHPUNISH!!!!!! (gasp gasp pant pant) *soils pants*

Seriously, those people must spend all day thinking, "how can I punish someone today so I have something to jerk off to?"

[Deep13]

19. But, but, zero tolerance and stuff!

Ohio's a fucking police state anyway.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

20. True. However I maintain our MJ laws are slightly redeeming.

I can carry a QP and it still only amounts to a traffic ticket.

[Deep13]

26. Depends on the city.

In this one it is a 1st degree misdemeanor, maxium sentence 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine.

[Parche]

10. Funny

But you have to watch those people from OHIO................:rofl: :hi:

[The Straight Story]

12. Yeah, we are a tad...interesting

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

11. Suspended?

:wtf:

He tricks 800 functional adults into holding up cards and gets suspended.

Where's the crime here? Was anyone or anything killed or hurt, besides dignity? I'm . . . really not getting the offense.

This is humorless authoritarianism gone wild.

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. It isn't 'good sportsmanship'

Remember when schools tried to out-yell each other across the stadium?


Hey, hey
Ho, ho
We look good and we look fine
But you look like a cow's behind
Hey, hey
Ho, ho


There ain't no flies on us
There ain't no flies on us
There may be one or two on you
But there ain't no flies on us



THE HAVING OF FUN WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!11

Signed,

28. I remember

Motorboat, Motorboat, spit spit spit

Cigarette ashes,cigarette butts,

Pull team, pull!!!

We've got spirit, yes we do!! We've got spirit, how about you?!?
We've got more, we've got more, we've got more just look at the score!!!

13. 1961 Rose Bowl: The best card-stunt hijack ever

http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/pranks/rosebowl.html

The flip-card show got off to a well-coordinated start. Everything went smoothly, and the crowd marvelled at the colorful images forming, as if by magic, at the command of the cheerleaders. It wasn't until the 12th image that things began to go a little wrong. This image was supposed to depict a husky, Washington's mascot. But instead a creature appeared that had buck teeth and round ears. It looked almost like a beaver.

The next image was even worse. The word 'HUSKIES' was supposed to unfurl from left to right. But for some reason the word was reversed, so that it now read 'SEIKSUH'.

These strange glitches rattled the Washington cheerleaders. They wondered if they might have made some careless mistakes when designing the complex stunt. But there was nothing for them to do about it now except continue on, and so they gave the signal for the next image.

What happened next has lived on in popular memory long after the rest of the 1961 Rose Bowl has been forgotten. It was one of those classic moments when a prank comes together instantly, perfectly, and dramatically.

The word 'CALTECH' appeared, held aloft by hundreds of Washington students. The name towered above the field in bold, black letters and was broadcast out to millions of viewers nationwide.



At the moment when Caltech's name unfurled across the stadium, NBC's cameras were focused directly on the flip-card show, providing the best possible vantage point for viewers across the nation to watch the ensuing drama. Washington's band, upon seeing the gigantic rogue name leering down at them from the stands, immediately stopped playing, and silence descended on the stadium. Even the television announcers were momentarily speechless. For a few seconds this silent tension enveloped the entire stadium. Finally the significance of what had just happened began to sink in, and then the laughter began.

17. Brilliant!

Absolutely brilliant.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[pokerfan]

21. And not too terribly mean-spirited

A requirement of an ideal shenanigan. I guess we've gone from 'SEIKSUH' to 'WE SUCK' in 46 years.

[sasquatch]

14. The students should use their spare time to now have the principal fired

Suspended and banned from EC's for that? Is this guys middle name "Douchebag" or something?

[KamaAina]

22. Yale '85 here saying "Boola boola!"

Garchar said he was inspired by a similar prank pulled by Yale students in 2004, when Harvard fans were duped into holding up cards with the same message. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Wonder what his college plans are? Hmmm... Kyle Garchar '11... kind of has that ring to it!

K-A
Y'85 cum laude, which is more than George W. Bush '68 can say, or spell for that matter

[Deja Q]

23. Man, that's evil... worse, why did the team get suckered into it? It's like

"Hi enemy! Come here and do this for us!" when what they are asking is to take a lot of eggs and break them over their own heads.

[Deja Q]

24. And now, how in that article, they explain HOW to do it, will more people do it?

25. Brilliant! That kid should be working for NASA or something, not suspended

There'll be plenty of time later on when he has to act like an adult, but he's in high school, for cryin' out loud!

[JVS]

29. AWESOME!
