Sex in Palo Alto!??

1/28/05 Update - Fried is actually quoted in Newsweek (1/24/05) as telling the 13-yr.-olds that girls could make $250K as an exotic dancer ( & forgot to say that's only for the top-paid 1%). Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. After all, we're asking these kids to break their butts, not shake them, in order to earn that kind of money. These kids see success all around them and know it comes from chips, not strips, but, it is pretty tasteless, and there is such a thing as too much honesty when talking to curious and sometimes very knowledgeable 8th graders. .

I know it's shocking. And, I'm not saying sex has actually taken place in Palo Alto, I'm sure that hasn't happened for a long time. It's just that now we're nationally known as a town that advises it's eighth graders to go into stripping. The story broke locally Wed. and I just saw the JLS Principal on the Today Show. He quickly pointed out that JLS is among the top 10% of CA schools.

All I can say is, the very notion that Palo Alto, where the only thing floating the dockers are the handhelds (the kind you buy at Fry's) would be known far and wide as some hotbed of sexuality is the funniest thing I've heard in years. The story is under the keyword "bootycall"... what WILL the PTA mavens think of this?! Thanks Bill Fried. That was the best laugh I've ever had from PA. See what happens when you underemploy execs? Stop the madness!
