			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0424081prom1.html">This is spectacular</a>. And not because I&#8217;m trying to encourage underage drinking &#8211; I was a very wholesome child actually. I only had one or two drinks ever before starting college. But it&#8217;s awesome because it&#8217;s so simple &#8211; yet big enough to end up on <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com">The Smoking Gun</a>. </p>
<p>More than half the kids at that school probably have the computer skills to replicate the school&#8217;s stationary and make the letter seem official. When I was in school we had a printed directory with every students name and address &#8211; I&#8217;m guessing now it&#8217;s online somewhere where creating a list to do a simple mail merge is also a piece of cake. </p>
<p>But wow &#8211; I bet the administrators and parents are in an uproar. Now, I do think that the legal drinking age should be 18 &#8211; i&#8217;s ridiculous that they can go to war and die, vote, get married, have babies&#8230; but not have a beer. So I think that makes the uproar even more hysterical. </p>
<p>And really, did it cause any harm? No. It was a senior prank &#8211; and a good one.<br />
If I knew who did it, I&#8217;d buy &#8216;em a beer&#8230; after they turn 21 of course. </p>
