Kid Gets Detention For Using Firefox
There’s marketing and there’s marketing. 5000+ Digg’s later (and climbing), still going strong. Some Digg users left some great comments (as always).
Thanks to Big Spring School District for this one.

Update: See follow up. It’s a hoax.

Bah, I work for cbsnews.com!
Yea, they didn’t even get the name right. I bet if that were a multiple choice test, the teacher would mark it wrong.

This detention slip is not a fake it is only altered (notice the blacked out areas, ya they are the important info like his name and teacher’s name) i see him as a saint for not allowing people to know who to complain to. It is not a hoax. IT HAPPENED

Oh yeah.. the detention slip was really altered, so all of you that think that it wasnt, know that it really was. Thank you and have a nice day.
