School Spying Scandal Gets Even More Bizarre

Several sources following the recent school webcam spying debacle are reporting that an even stranger twist has surfaced. The student in question that was disciplined for an "improper act" was apparently accused of either drug use or drug selling. Turns out he was eating Mike & Ike candy, not popping pills. While there is probably more to this story than has made it to the general public, the officials involved have done a particularly bad job of actually managing the events.

    Do we know for a fact that it was factory-branded Mike & Ike's and not illegally copied or Chinese-bootlegged Mike & Ike-like candy? There's still ample opportunity to tie this story into several other perpetual Slashdot themes.

      Considering what ends up in Chinese foodstuffs, drugs would be the safer option.

    The School is in Pensylvania and Mike & Ike's are made in Illinois. This is obviously a case of corporate funding in public schools gone awry! Hershey's will not allow the children of Pennsylvania to be poisened by the corn syrup generated candies of Illinois!

    They are just acting to protect our youth!

    Think of the children.

      Let's be fair and let's be clear. It's not hard to mistake one product as drugs from a company known to manufacture other highly addictive substances. Peeps are puffed crack.

      dude! one time at a phish concert, i thought i had some bad Mike & Ike. The mellow sweetness turned to burning and pain and i ran around screaming. Nobody could figure out what was wrong, but it turns out someone slipped some Hot Tamales into my Mike & Ike.
      from now on, i'm only getting my Mike & Ike when i'm in Amsterdam where they can control the stuff.

    I can explain.

    The button on my pants popped out and they fell down, only for me to find a spider landed on my crotch from the ceiling, so I had to beat it to death with my fist and penis. I'm afraid of spiders so that's why I was all sweaty and panting, I was fearing for my life.

    Exactly. Even if he was taking pills, there's no way of ascertaining what was in said pills by just looking at a photo

    Everyone seems to be forgetting how interrogations work. They showed him the picture and told him they knew it was drugs just to see what his response was. It's standard operating procedure for police, schools, employers, etc...

    Any drugs, even asprin must be administered by a school nurse. Always.
