Was your high school principal always trying to be down with the kids, but then did something embarrassing like putting pix of Kid'n'Play on a flier - in 2004? Pity the poor Catholic school principal who tried to be cool by using Ellen Degeneres's Oscar photo to flog a dance, forgetting that Ellen is a big homosexxican and that the Catholic Church kinda frowns on that.
Yes, besides being cringe-inducing merely for the fact that 14-year-olds likely watch neither the Oscars nor the Ellen show and would have found the picture of a tuxedoed Ellen gracing their eighth-grade dance fliers to be painfully uncool, there's also the whole gay thing.
Since proms are about drunken, sloppy sex, the Hasselhof cover should placate.
Whew. That was close.
