A yellow dress consisting of a short skirt and straps was
too much for chaperones at the Madison High School prom in
Houston and cost a teen her big night out.
Teachers told the 17-year-old senior that she could go home
and change attire, but she began yelling and arguing and was
escorted from the Marriott hotel Saturday night in
handcuffs.
"The young lady came to the prom wearing an inappropriate
dress after students were told what the guidelines were,"
Terry Abbott, a spokesman for the Houston Independent School
District, told ABC News Tuesday.
Guidelines permit slits in dresses no more than three inches
long above the knee, but allow only one inch of exposed
midriff and ban "see-through fabrics … which reveal private
body parts."
Students planning to attend the prom had to sign the
guidelines statement and hand it in. The girl was held in
a police car outside the prom until she calmed down, and
she was not arrested, ABC said.
What are your thoughts on the school not allowing a student
into her prom because of her inappropraite dress?
P.S. You can discuss this issue or any other topic in

Man charged for tossing M&Ms at cop
An Iowa man was arrested for allegedly "sticking up for a
friend" by hurling several M&M candies at a police officer,
a police report said. Sean McGuire, 20, a student at Drake
University in Des Moines, was charged with assaulting a
police officer after officer Theodore Lister Stroope
accused him of tossing candies at him, the Des Moines (Iowa)
Register reported Sunday. Stroope was handling a drunk
driving incident at a convenience store when McGuire began
throwing M&Ms, the report said. University security
officers at the store saw several chocolate candies landing
on the ground near Stroope before one bounced off his
shoulder, the police report said. McGuire told authorities
he was "sticking up for a friend" and allegedly proceeded
to relieve himself in the back seat of Strope's police
vehicle on the way to Polk County Jail, the Register said.

Man allegedly forced to sit on toilet sues JetBlue
A New York man said he is suing JetBlue Airways for
$2 million because a pilot made him spend three hours in a
bathroom so a stewardess could have his seat. Gokhan Mutlu
filed the suit Monday seeking damages for "emotional and
psychological trauma" he allegedly suffered when JetBlue
employees asked him to sit in the lavatory of a plane, the
New York Post reported Tuesday. Mutlu was flying standby
when a flight attendant said the plane was filled to
capacity, but she would give up her seat and occupy the
"jump seat" instead so he could board. About 90 minutes
into the Feb. 23, flight, the pilot asked Mutlu to move
into the bathroom so the flight attendant could have her
seat back, the suit says. "I guess the flight was
overbooked, and I didn't want to make a big deal in front
of the other passengers, so I just had a seat," Mutlu told
the Post.

JUMBO POP-UP HAMPER
Normal Price: $4.99
DEAL PRICE: $1.99
Okay, I LOVE these. And I use them for just about everything.
With the warm weather coming, they are great for outdoors.
I love to put all the pool toys in them. It allows for them
to dry after being in the pool and it keeps them all together.
Get a few of them. You can use them for so many things. Ideal
for college students, holding toys, and all the laundry you
can fit. The best part is the nylon construction that makes
this light as a feather.
It folds down to 6" and pops up to hold TWO (2) FULL LOADS
of LAUNDRY.
Store it in the closet or in the corner of the room. We
guarantee this will help keep the kids' rooms tidy. This is
one of the best products we have ever carried and the
lightest hamper you will ever carry.

Web program helps drivers fight tickets
A New York man said he is starting a free online program to
help troubled drivers find flaws in parking citations that
may nullify their fines. Glen Bolofsky, creator of
parkingticket.com, a business that challenges parking
tickets, said he is developing free online software to help
people find mistakes in parking tickets that could wipe
them out completely, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
Drivers are simply required to answer personal questions
regarding their car and citation for the program to
indicate where potential errors or mistakes are, the Post
said. Users receive results from the program seconds after
they are answered, the report said.
