Veronica Kieffer Flash Staff Reporter HUMAN BILLBOARDS PHOTO BY: TED MADIGAN Innocent Fraser High School students walk into their favorite clothing stores only to be transformed into walking billboards. It’s a growing phenomenon taking over our hallways. Stores like American Eagle, Abercrombie, and Hollister are among the stores taking part in corrupting students’ personal styles. They are forcing students to sport the latest trends that, as a result, empty their pockets. Not only are these trends ridiculously expensive but also they are replicated over and over and appear hundreds of times on different students. Not only are these billboards being duplicated but also students find it hard to navigate around the building due their new shape. Students are not able to see the teacher or the boards in class with enormous Sears ads sitting in front of them. Billboards are shuffling through the hallways just to make it to their next class. A sophomore formally known as Frank Patterson, who is now known as the new GAP billboard, sympathizes with his transformed billboard friends. “I couldn’t get into to the C commons snack line without turning my body sideways,” he said. Although the negative effect of this transformation from human to billboard has generally outweighed the good, there still are some positive effects. Students were able to cut their “getting ready” time in the morning in half; they no longer have to worry about what to wear. Smoking habits are also being cut to nothing. “I was about to light up until I seen Johnny Johnson who had recently became a Bath and Bodyworks ad catch on fire just after trying to smoke… I have kicked the habit for good!”, said Macy’s ad formally known as Jaime Jamierson. An anecdote for this epidemic is currently in the works. For now fashion experts suggest staying away from malls and department stores. Good luck, save yourself! Vitamin Water Zombies!?!?! By Aaron Hamel Editor-In-Chef It seems Fraser students sure are hungry for brain food…. LITERALLY!!!! “I just don’t understand it,” said a Fraser teacher. “One minute they’re sitting quietly at their desks, and the next minute their skin turns green, their eyes are rolled back, and they’re screaming for brains.” All this zombie hoopla seems to be stemming from the latest craze to hit Fraser High, and the nation: Vitamin Water. “Me…love…vitamin…water…” said a passing student when asked about the craze. “So…refreshing…” A source tells us that the brains of the whole scheme seem to be the international conglomerate known as Conglomotech Industries Incorporated Co., which has its hand in everything from military arms to children’s toys. “There is nothing wrong with our vitamin water,” a spokesperson for the company said, and then added, “Did you know that most of the people who turned into these monstrosities had not just one, but TWO microwave ovens in their homes? Doesn’t that mean anything to you people?!” A scientist at the prestigious SCI-LAB research facility seems to think differently. “It’s really a matter of chemistry,” he said. “If you look at the label, you’ll see that the vitamins included in the vitamin water are naturally imbalanced. Any scientist would tell you that those specific vitamins would obviously turn the user into a violent zombie.” Starting in the west coast, a new zombie task force division of the FBI has begun taking steps in eradicating this awful menace. “Those zombie jerks won’t know what hit them once they encounter my men,” the commander of the squad said. “We’ll get the job done, don’t worry about it.” Fraser students are advised to avoid Vitamin Water at all costs. If you have come in contact with it, please alert a Z.O.T.F (Zombie Observation Task Force) official if you have the following symptoms: a green-ing of the skin, a condition resembling leprosy, and a hunger for brains or other precious bodily fluids. And remember, fair citizens, friends don’t let friends become blood-thirsty monsters!
