Chris, Editor for skirt! Tampa Bay

Here’s an interesting story straight from the pages of News from the Weird. Did you hear the sad and bizarre tale of a Texas high school and their unexpected and unwelcomed yearbook “makeovers?"

Imagine waiting all year for those final two weeks to collect your buddies’ goofy comments and working up the courage to ask the class stud for his John Hancock, only to discover that your photograph has been, er, altered.

Students at McKinney High School in McKinney, TX opened their yearbooks to find the perverse PhotoShop work of one clearly delusional printing company staffer with heads relocated to others’ bodies, necks stretched and even limbs removed.

Okay, I’ll acknowledge this isn’t the most significant news story I could reference on the blog today, but I ask you: how bad can somebody’s daily grind get, how mundane could the events of one’s workday be that its tedium would lead someone to make such a mess of someone else’s memories? And those of teenagers, for Pete’s sake, the most insecure, vulnerable victims you could impact.

I can’t believe that someone would revel in satisfaction, pride – even hilarity – by committing such a pathetic act.

The printing company has commented that it was a “lapse in judgment” by the employee (aka freak). Oh and they’re reprinting the yearbooks for the students. Gee, isn’t that thoughtful of them?
