It must be Friday the 13th

First one state's legislators wrote a bill (still not yet law) that banned risqué cheerleading. Now a male student in Wisconsin is ticketed for disorderly conduct for wearing a dress to the prom. We somehow picture the red carpet at the Oscars, where Renee Zelwegger and Halle Barry and Melanie Griffith are asked whether they are wearing Versace or Armani. The student "thought people would find it funny to see a 6-foot, 185-pound male in a black, stretchy, spaghetti-strap dress," AP reports. Apparently the student was also participating in some naughty dancing. The student was ticketed by the school liaison police officer the next day, upon which he provided our favorite quote: "They thought I was mocking the school," he said. This guy will be running Boeing or Nike in 10 years, we just know it.
