A real gem from Wired News

Sounds Like Teen Charity
When student council members at a small Roman Catholic high school in Pennsylvania were pondering ways to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims, they didn't just want to sell lemonade. So, instead, they launched the "Stop the Bop" fund-raiser. The school plays Hanson's 1996 hit "MMMBop" through the loudspeakers before classes begin, between periods and during lunch. In order to stop hearing the annoying song constantly, students must donate money to the cause. The school hopes to raise $3,000; so far, students have forked over $2,300. "Kids have said, 'If I give you a blank check, will you stop this music?'" said Meredith Cox, president of the student council. "They say ... 'We just want it to end. Even though it's for a good cause, we just want it to end.' It's rather funny."-- Jenny McKeel

My take on this .....
Thank God they didn't choose any of the bands I love!
