Now is the time of year when yearbooks come out… full of goofy smiles and cheesy photo backgrounds (I think my senior yearbook picture had me leaning my elbow on a wagon wheel… or maybe peeking around a corner) and, of course, insincere "keep in touch" and "BFF" messages.  And, as if a photographic record of the awkwardness of teen-hood isn’t enough… apparently a yearbook company in Minnesota decided to take it up a knotch.  Apparently, they had been told to alter the school pictures so that all the kids’ heads and eyes were the same level and size.  Now… that’s weird… ‘cuz I’m pretty certain that my eyes and head are a different level and size than your eyes and head, and the eyes and heads of the other 720 people in my high school senior class… but that’s not really the point.  I guess someone thought it would be funny to alter photos in other ways - probably thinking they were making a point as to how ridiculous the request was.  Of course, lengthening necks, switching heads and even putting a student’s head on a nude body (tastefully blurred, I’m sure) didn’t so much make a point as piss everyone off.  So they’ll be reprinting and, I’m pretty certain, scarring several hormonally charged, crazy, insecure Texas high school kids while they were at it.

Hey kids, look at it this way… if anyone in your class is ever famous, those misprinted books will put your kid through college with just a click of the Ebay!
