Cheerleaders Suspended After Hazing Incident Involving Hot Dogs

EVERETT, Wash. -- The Everett School District has suspended cheerleaders they believe were conducting initiation rituals in violation the district's athletic code. Sources say some of the older cheerleaders on the Jackson High School squad made the new members wear diapers, then shot them with squirt guns and hit them with hot dogs. A mother of an accused cheerleader said the alleged hazing happened inside her home in Bothell. The school district suspended several cheerleaders, saying they violated the athletic code of conduct which prohibits hazing.

You have to watch the video to get the full impact of this story, and to meet the star of this news broadcast, Sebastin Mejia, a young man with his head on straight.  Witness his beautifully simple logic, founded in common sense:

"I just heard they got hit by sausages (smirking)...I thought it was pretty harmless, I mean no one has died from getting hit in the face with a sausage...So I thought the punishment didn't fit the crime."

Amen Sebastin, with that line of thinking you'll always have an open door here at the Tab, assuming blogging for free on as established, yet tiny blog is your sort of thing.  

I mean the whole thing sounds fairly innocent to be honest...I mean what can you do with a hot dog?  They're so damn flimsy, soon as you go to slap someone with it its going to snap...and it's not like they had teenage boys over there watching the girls get hosed down with the squirt guns like some kinda wet t-shirt contest.  All in all it sounds pretty much exactly what teenage CW assumed went on at girls' slumber parties, just lacking the pillow fight.
