Steger school administrators dyed their hair pink, were taped to a wall, and kissed a pig all to raise money for leukemia and lymphoma patients. Well, it's certainly more original than a charity fun run.

Wow,
Those two's ugliness matches their crime.

there is a spray paint ban in the city. i bet there'd be a lot more grafitti if it were available
here's the runaway's myspace:
That is so seriously fucked up....
