Florida high school rescinds invite to Jerry Springer

SARASOTA, Fla. Sarasota High School cheerleaders will have to find another valentine to headline their dance Saturday, after administrators gave their choice of Jerry Springer an 'F'.

The talk-show host -- who lives in Sarasota -- had accepted an invitation from the school's cheerleaders to headline the "Hollywood Nights" dance. But administrators withdrew the invitation yesterday. They say Springer, whose T-V guests include unfaithful lovers and brawling friends, is not an appropriate role model for students.

The cheerleaders, who sponsor the dance, say they just wanted a local celebrity. The cheerleaders are looking for another host.

1. Schools' administrators have no problem however with students

respecting the role model of a presidential administration that drops megaton bombs on unarmed civilian populations and then lies about it to the entire world.

Springer? A global menace! Run for your lives, cheerleaders!

2. What does one expect from an anally Republican town. The only county

south of I-4 that is fucked by an over-abundance of Republicans. Thank spaghetti monster that I escaped from Fla.

3. probably afraid Springer might meet former guests in the community

hahahahah

4. Caution: Humor Free Zone.

It's the neocon version of "political correctness" run amok!!!!

Hide your children.

Might I suggest AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson to the cheerleaders as Springer's replacement? I believe he also lives in the Sarasota area and would no doubt represent the fine family values that the school's administrators are seeking.

5. Cheerleaders: scantily clad hot young women who dance provocatively

for an audience of hormone-crazed boys. And Jerry Springer is not an appropriate role model?! :eyes:

edited for the correct usage of role

6. who WOULD be 'appropriate' ?

hmmmmm. pat robertson? the kids should turn around and invite some gay celeb, just to put those administrators knickers in a twist.

7. The administrators must have listened to his show...

and realized how much it sucks.

8. Springer's TV show is the last reason why

They get Air America like everyone else.

9. There's always Peewee Herman.

:evilgrin:

10. Perhaps the school administrators...

... would recommend a few remedial reading/writing courses for the AP writer who doesn't know the proper uses for the words "invite" and "invitation". I'll bet Jerry at least knows proper grammar and that alone would make him a great role model in most high schools.
