While sad, another part of this story is that the dogs were left with a U.S. Senator's son.

ABC15 was reporting last night that it was Flake's son and Fox affiliate is saying he was there when some people dropped off their dogs and when some came to claim their bodies.

I hadn't thought of that right off, instead my question was whether the app developers thought female customers are going to invite men out of the blue, or if the idea is that a guy will hear their female friend say something about the app and ask for an invite? What if she's a co-worker, an employee or a neighbor and…

He is from Charleston, so he knows about hurricanes.

Maybe it's like the '96 Dole/Kemp campaign site and is being maintained out of love.

It's been a while since I've watched it, but if you're in the US, I recall that the Honest Company and its founding was a big focus of her Larry King interview on Hulu.

Maybe. Though I think that if there were a girl dim-witted enough not to spot the clues, who wasn't good enough friends with anyone else to communicate with them on social media or in the cafeteria, who wouldn't ask anyone else about it during the week between receiving the note and the "inspections", I don't think…

It starts in their homes, where children learn some sense of kindness and empathy for other people.

I'm sure no one believed the letter. Not only were there enough telltale signs that it was intended as a joke, but the students were discussing it on social media according to the link.

I just read through and there might be as many threads expressing surprise at the mailbox thing or that student directories weren't universal as there are those rooted in outrage.

Though she ended on a bit of hyperbole, there really isn't anything wrong with the post. It's an interesting story and I'm sure it got a giggle or harumph from everyone who read.

Obviously, based upon what they told you, your friend wouldn't make the same choice.

There was no consequence to others. A couple of guys distributed a few notes, then the students laughed about it at school and on social media before the media got involved.

Nobody believed they were going to be probed. How dumb do you think girls are?

I guess that I do give more leeway toward attempts at humor and I recognize that not everyone's "jokes" are sophisticated or what's considered politically-correct isn't universal.

...or they'll get a job at a transmission place and when one of the recipients come in ten years down the road, they'll tell their co-workers the story.

I don't know what the kids knew, but I see nothing to indicate that it was more than just a couple, so it's not right to paint every boy at the school with the same brush. And the properness or improperness of this stunt would be something they'd have to glean from society and learn at home, it's not something they…

First of all, it was a joke. No one was harmed and I'm sure the adults are lot more torn up about this than any of the kids. Now maybe you could project some idea of discriminatory or sexist behavior onto this because only one sex was targeted and they most likely sent the letter to just those in the popular clique,…

They didn't know it was wrong and to be honest, it's only in poor taste, nothing more.
Kids will be kids. They sometimes make poor choices. It's what they do.

I'm sure they imagined the first dozen or so, then delivering the letters became work.
