Is this a hoax, and April Fools stunt or something else.
A story over at Boing Boing about a IM-ing student requesting someone else to write their essay – and their oh-so-nearly saviour blogging the whole exchange and exposing her on the web and to her school could be real or could be a hoax – however, if an April Fool’s day funny, they’re definitely living in a completly different timezone ot the rest of us…it’s a least another 2 days until April 1 where I am.
Update: as Impied said, Boing Boing were calling it a hoax, but the latest response was it was not, but it was a blogging incident that grew far more than the author intended. But confusion still reigns. The latest is here.
Not sure, the updated BoingBoing claims it is. A search of the college site reveals no mention of a Laura Pahl and their dean’s list isn’t online. They do have christianity and world religions class, but it sounds a bit farfetched to me, really.
