Bong Hits 4 Jesus Not too long ago (2002, to be exact), 18-year-old Joseph Frederick of Juneau, Alaska, decided it would funny to display a 14-foot sign reading "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" to TV cameras following the Olympic torch's passage through Alaska. A bitter Supreme Court battle over the nuances of the First Amendment soon followed Frederick's suspension from school and though the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the school's assertion that Frederick was promoting drug use, it seems Frederick is now the one with the last laugh. He is, after all, the one who's recently received a fat wad of cash from Paramount and MTV Films to make a movie based on this incident. Suck on that, Juneau-Douglas High School and then-principal Deborah Morse. Mark Poirier will be scripting the film's not-at-all subtle moral messages.

This was a bad decision on the part of the Supreme Court and limits not only student free speech, but the speech of everyone. Plus it gives the schools way too much power over students. Not only are teachers able to discipline students in school, but also out of schools as well. The student in question did not attend classes that day and thus should not have been held accountable to the scho...
This was a bad decision on the part of the Supreme Court and limits not only student free speech, but the speech of everyone. Plus it gives the schools way too much power over students. Not only are teachers able to discipline students in school, but also out of schools as well. The student in question did not attend classes that day and thus should not have been held accountable to the school for his actions. Again bad decision on the Court's part. This will have more far reaching effects in the future.

I don't know how they're gonna market this thing, or if it'll be worth watching (it's a true story advocating the 1st Amendment, beer bonging, and religious freedom, so maybe it'll be worth something), but sticking it to the Supreme Court is always fun.

Congratulations to Mr. Fredericks for profiting from this.
