Police free 26 cheerleaders from elevator at University of Texas' Jester Hall
By RACHEL SLADE / The Dallas Morning News
Police and firefighters were called to the University of Texas' Jester Hall to free 26 cheerleaders who had crammed themselves into an elevator.
A group of 14- to 17-year-olds attending Texas Cheer Camp in Austin decided to see how many girls they could squeeze into the elevator around 6 p.m. Tuesday, campus police said.
The elevator successfully descended from the fourth floor to the first, but the doors refused to open.
The panicked girls managed to wiggle a few cell phones free to call for help. But it took about 25 minutes before a repairman was able to fix the door, police said.
“It’s dangerous actually,” said Rhonda Weldon, director of communications for the UT Police Department. "They’re lucky that that’s all that happened."
One teen fainted and was treated and released from a nearby hospital. Two others were treated at the scene.
“Take the sign seriously,” Ms. Weldon said. “There are signs everywhere: No more than 15 people or 3,000 pounds.”
I love this country...

So what do you love more, that cheerleaders are that stupid, or that police time and resources had to be wasted to "save" them?

I love the true American spirit of the competitive market, the ideals of Truth & Justice, the way Jessica Alba is not forced to wear a Burka in public (Thanks, Mr. Bush!), but most of all, I love 'E Plebnista"- errrr, I mean, "We The People"...
The Constitution of my country is primarily what constitutes The Greatness that is America.

October 12th, 1985. Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.

You know what he hates most about being a child molester?
Trying to get the blood stains out of his clown suit.
You know why he always plays the music so loudly on his ice cream truck?
Because it helps muffle the screams.

You know, once my ex g/f called me a pedophile. So I asked her, where does an 11 yr old learn such words ?
It was funny when Steven Wright said it. *sigh*
