A true story

Student: Hey, listen, I want to talk to you … I hope it’s okay, but there’s a little profanity in my playwriting piece.

Da Prof: That’s fine. This is creative writing. As long as the swearing isn’t gratuitous — because that is never ever ever ever funny.

He hands me the piece.

It is entitled High-School Musical.

I am not making this up.

Student: It’s a satire. With a lot of swearing.

Da Prof: A++, my friend.

    He MUST post this on the internet for all to see. I love a good profanity-filled satire.

    I’d love to comment on this blog, but I’m too excited about becoming part of DaMomma’s classics being scrolled at the top of the page. It’s finally all about ME! Glee!

    Oh sorry. HSM sucks. Swear lots about it. Agreed.

    Maybe you can send his work to Karin. I am sure she would love to read about another high school musical.

    That is just too funny.

    I’m bracing myself for this Sunday when I will be subjected to High School Crapsicle 3 with my kids. Sigh…

    I’ve not seen any of the HSM movies (I have 2 boys, ha!)so I can’t comment on how much they suck but I will swear gratuitously in the style of Bart Simpson “Hell, damn, fart!”

    Can anyone tell me why 6 year olds are attracted to these movies? Isn’t the target audience HIGH SCHOOLERS? Or ‘tweens at the very youngest?

    Aunt Jone - when the first one came out my now 5 year old would have been what, 3? He not only was totally facinated from the first watching, he was asking to watch it when his sisters weren’t around and memorized several of the songs. Which he will STILL randomly sing. I have no idea why although my husband is concerned *lol*
    My 12 year old daughter saw HSM3 the other day. She is still sighing over how incredible it is. “There’s a song like, every 5 seconds! It is SOOOOO Cool!”
    *sigh*

    Look at HSM this way. Perhaps, this new generation will learn to appreciate the “musical”. I loved them when I was young. (Oh God, I sound like my Grandmother). The Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, Brigadoon, all of them.

    My children, not so much…at all. So, maybe there’s hope for my grandchildren?
