Students Plan Muppet Rebellion [NEWS]

News from America, now - The land of 'hope and dreams'. Picture the scene; You're a teacher in a class-full of mischievous students. It's been a long day and you're irritable. Working in a class of youths can do that to a person. So imagine your annoyance when a child randomly says 'meep', and then the rest of the students do the same, with the noise level slowly but surely getting louder and louder until eventually it becomes unbearable.



Yes, apparently a class of American children studying at Danvers High School had planned (via social networking website, Facebook) to all impersonate the character 'Beaker' from hit television series The Muppet Show, by chanting the word 'meep' in union. I'd say this is a prime example of well-thought out Muppet-Show-related rebellion, so the kids have earned my respect.

Apparently, following the organised chants the students have been banned from saying the word 'meep' in the future by Principal of the school, Thomas Murray.
