Student most likely to…

A junior high school in Yamanashi prefecture has come in for sharp criticism after its graduating class’s yearbook ranked students in a number of unusual ways.

The light-hearted rankings are made up every year by the final year students, but this year’s pushed the boundaries of good taste, according to a report in the Mainichi.

Among the rankings were “Person most likely to be living under a bridge”, “Person most likely to marry a foreigner” and the one that really kicked off the fuss, “Person most likely to burn down the Prime Minister’s residence”.

“It was intended as a joke, but it was inconsiderate,” a school representative was quoted as saying. The school apologized to students whose names were listed, but did not withdraw the book.

that’s kind of sad, but maybe under no supervision it was supervised under a student.

In my yearbook I was voted ‘most likely to become Evil Fascist Dictator of the World’. I still have a long way to go before reaching that goal. To my highschool comrades who put so much trust in me, gomen.

leave it to the authorities to ruin a good arson joke.

speaking of which, whatever happened to those most likely lists in high schools? my (junior and senior)high school yearbooks never had any rankings. maybe i just went to a series of lame schools or maybe its just a tradition thats faded out in my area (sad if so).
