It was supposed to be a pep rally prank to bring laughter and cheers at Rosemount High School in Minnesota but it has instead stirred up a lot of controversy after parents of some senior student athletes took the practical joke too far. Some detractors even went as far as saying that some of the very inappropriate antics smack of incest.

The prank featured a comedy skit which took advantage of unknowing captains of the various winter varsity squads. After the team captains walked into the gym blindfolded, they were told that they were going to be kissed by a special someone, and then were asked to guess who it was that kissed them.

It turns out that the person who kissed the athletes — in every circumstance — was their own opposite sex parent. A lot of criticism has been leveled not at the student athletes, but at some of the parents for what they did in executing the practical joke.

ABC’s late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is making a lot of enemies among kids with his latest Christmas prank which might be one of the cutest holiday pranks of all time.

In the spirit of the Christmas, the host challenged his ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ audience to give their kids ridiculously awful Christmas presents under the guise of a “special early present”and to record their responses.

Creative parents from all over the country responded by submitting videos of their children freaking out and even breaking down in tears over receiving a half-eaten sandwich, a rotten banana, and girly coloring books! One boy throws a tantrum and declares his undying hatred for Santa upon receiving a “stupid hello Kitty dress”. Toward the end of Jimmy Kimmel’s video below, one mother says: “We thought really hard about what to get you.” Her son’s response…”Well you didn’t do a very good job!”

This cute little girl got a half-eaten sandwich as her present.

Watch as the kids fall victim to the hysterical prank that their parents play on them.

Hey, guys, do you have $132 million to spare? If you are of the lucky few who can answer �yes�, you can consider placing your order for this luxurious superyacht which is so sleek you’d almost be forgiven for mistaking it for a floating limousine.

The Sovereign superyacht is the brainchild of Gray Design who specialises in both superboats and supercars – or sometimes, like the Sovereign, ingenious combinations of both. The superyacht is inspired by a limousine and even comes with its own matching car.

The 100-metre Sovereign superyacht

“We thought about a typical person on board one of these yachts and asked: how do they travel on land? Well limousine,” says Gray Design CEO Eduard Gray. “It’s a very unique concept in the yacht world.”

At the back end of the yacht, is a circular infinity pool that surrounds a reinforced glass helipad. The latter also acts as a skylight for the room below. There are ten guest suites, in addition to the owner’s extensive main quarters, as well as a cinema, gym, library and nightclub area which epitomises ‘elegance and class’.

14-month old Taya Kennedy has become the darling of the child-modelling world.

Taya has Down’s Syndrome but she was selected, not to fulfil a quota, or out of sympathy or adhere to the dictums of some politically-correct code of positive discrimination. Taya was picked because she is a star in her own right, one brimming with the confidence of a natural performer.

“Taya is an incredibly photogenic, warm and smiley child, and that shines through in her photographs,” says Alysia Lewis, owner of Urban Angels, the prestigious UK model agency that has signed her up.

We only open our books twice a year and select just a few new children each season.

‘The standard is high; the desire for places strong. Taya is one of 50 children we chose from 2,000 applicants.

“That she has Down’s Syndrome did not enter the equation. We chose her because of her vibrancy and sense of fun. Not all children are comfortable in front of a lens and with a photographer looking at them ” especially when they are so young. But Taya was so relaxed and happy. She was just what we were looking for.”
