My my my. This is why you should NEVER mock the deaths of other Americans for no other reason than to gain attention. And if you do make this mistake, you should NEVER upload the pics to your Facebook profile.

Right now the names of the individuals involved are kind of bouncing around, so I’ll refrain from posting them here. But, I will link to other stories where names have been stated.

Basically, two college students, one believed to be from Penn State, decided to dress up as Virginia Tech shooting victims for a Halloween party. They went as far as splattering fake blood all over their Virginia Tech labeled clothing, and cutting holes to represent bullet wounds.

Apparently this was done to add “shock value” to their Halloween party. According to the male student involved, it was an intentional move aimed at gaining attention.

“It’s not that it was funny, it’s that we are notorious and infamous in the state college, so we have to do things that push the envelope just for shock value,” he said.

Now that’s class, isn’t it? /sarcasm

The female involved made the mistake of posting the pictures on her Facebook profile, which have since been shared and have spread like wildfire. In fact, a Facebook group was started a few days ago and as of this moment has about 500 members. Death threats have been made, threats of physical harm, and some of the most vile insults hurled in the direction of the offending students.

Needless to say, this was no walk in the park.

The weird thing about this whole story is that neither of the two students have shown any sympathy, remorse, concern for what they have done. In a phone interview with the male student involved, the reporter seemed somewhat taken back at the fact that the student apparently found no wrong in his actions.

Listen to the interview via YouTube.

Facebook can be a powerful community on events such as this. And Facebook is only a small part of the internet.

The moral of the story is… don’t be stupid. It really is that simple.
