The Seminole School Board

The Seminole School Board - responsible for yesterday's shit-gripper about McDonalds being allowed to advertise on student's school report cards - have managed to outdo themselves once again.

Not content with allowing MickeyD's to promote it's craptastic food as some kind of bizarre "reward" for good grades, the School Board has now inked a deal with Bus Radio to allow a 'special" radio program be broadcast to pupils as they get driven to school!

Bus Radio was given the nod to broadcast a mix of listener-specific rock music, FCAT lessons and - most importantly for the School board I suspect - advertisements on 53 schoolbuses (almost 5000 students) during a trial run lasting the rest of 2008.

If district officials decide it is a success, they say they'll allow the company put its radios in the district’s entire fleet of buses.

As the scheme will doubtless give the Seminole School Board more money - and that's all they seem to care about (taking into consideration this farce and the previous McD's fiasco), success appears somewhat pre-guaranteed, wouldn't you say?

Board officials suggest the radio program "will keep students busy so drivers can concentrate on the road". What a total crock of gripped-shit.

This has sweet fanny adams to do with the driver's concentration and zero to do with whatever the students might learn with FCAT. It is no more than 'mutton dressed as lamb' 100% commercial venture to financially benefit the (evidently fucked up) School Board by advertising to a 'built-in' - or trapped - audience of impressionable teens. It's so insidious and so evidently about nothing but MONEY, that this entire School Board need to be fucking ousted as soon as possible.
