Bus Driver Takes Wrong Group of Students On Field Trip
A group of Ridgefield Park high schoolers got a surprise field trip to Six Flags Great Adventure thanks to a mixup with their bus driver. The driver ignored students who told her they weren't supposed to go on a trip and should be in class. Some even called their parents, worried that they were being abducted. From the article: "When the driver got on the turnpike, the students tried to tell her that she was going the wrong way, said Little Ferry Superintendent Frank Scarafile. One of the kids said, 'Where are you going?' Scarafile recounted. The bus driver said, 'We're going to Great Adventure,' an amusement park in Jackson. The students pulled out their cellphones and started calling their parents and the school. They asked the bus driver to speak with school administrators, but the driver refused because she is not permitted to talk on the phone while driving, Scarafile said."
Nope, it was Miss Crabtree:

Miss Hotlinking Error?
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
Why is everything always like a movie? Does "the bus driver accidentally took some kids a few miles down the turnpike" sound like an interesting plot to you?
The lady driving that bus weighs no less than 300 pounds. It's just... I'm sure of it.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
As long as it is not a tinyurl link like the one you submit in every post which forces one to use telnet or netcat to find out where he is going to end up before actually going there...
Well, lynx will do it too but there is still a very slightly higher risk in theory ;-)
Youtube should be safer in theory than a tinyurl link so, IMHO, you are not helping yourself if you want people to actually click on the link. URL Shorteners were discussed on /. a while ago:

At least his sig isn't a redundant paradox... Your sig doesn't resolve at all!
Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
Having to go to a web site to find out which web site to go to seems redundant enough for me !
You could easily build and endless loop with that ;-)

FTFA:
He added that there may have been a language barrier between the students and the driver, but he did not know the driver’s name or native tongue.
Sounds like the principal might share some of the blame here. I imagine it went something like this...
Principal: Now, I've already told you, you have to tell us your name before we let you drive the school bus.
Driver: Damn you and your "rules"!!!
Hmm yes, let's create a tinyurl, A, to some host B, which redirects back to tinyurl A.
