Students upset over racist yearbook prank
High school yearbooks celebrate achievement, mark the passing of a year, and in photos, captions and scribbled signatures, capture a time.

Judge orders kids to post apology on YouTube
A judge is using YouTube to punish two boys who used the video-sharing website for a prank that ended with battery and criminal mischief charges against them.
The prank, known as "fire in the hole," has become common in the past year. It happened July 25 to fast-food worker Jessica Ceponis at the drive-through of the Taco Bell in Merritt Island, about 50 miles east of Orlando.
Ceponis handed a carload of teenagers their soft drinks. When she returned to the drive-through window to give them their change, they yelled, "Fire in the hole!" hurled a 32-ounce cup of soda at Ceponis and sped off.
The teens posted a video of the incident on YouTube.com, alongside a number of other videos showing similar pranks. Today, the teens are scheduled to post another video on YouTube: an apology that shows them facedown and handcuffed on the hood of a car.
In a statement, YouTube said it doesn't allow the uploading of videos that show someone getting "hurt, attacked or humiliated" and removes those flagged by users.
Ceponis, 23, said she thought the incident was a personal attack but learned from customers that a video was posted on YouTube. She used the YouTube video to track the boys' MySpace accounts. "They were bragging about what they had done and how funny it was," Ceponis said.
Without revealing her identity, she befriended them online. After she confirmed that they were behind the attack, Ceponis used the phone book to track down one boy's mother who provided the names of the others involved, she said.
The 16-year-old driver who threw the drink and a 15-year-old who was filming were charged with two counts each of battery and one count of criminal mischief.
The teens wrote, filmed and edited the apology video. They also were sentenced to 100 hours each of community service. In addition, they each have to pay a $30 cleaning fee to the restaurant and write letters of apology. The charges will be dropped when the terms of the sentences are met.

Two high school dropouts kill Comcast network for 6 hours
These darn kids these days! The best part about this is they called Comcast to warn them and the dude hung up on them. Prank in place and six hours of outages and reroutes later, Comcast fixed the issue ... sort of. Now the kids are awaiting legal actions but I think they should be set free. Comcast should have listened to them.
