Celebs indicted on college admissions fraud

[terry78]

'Full House' fans express shock as Lori Loughlin is indicted in college admissions bribery case

Oh, Aunt Becky.

 

[Lily Adler]

She's a witch.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Felicity Huffman? Shameless.

 

[Pink Ranger]

How woooood!

 

[terry78]

It's the fact that for her it wasn't even an Ivy League but USC. Your offspring isn't able to get into USC on their own merit I'd wonder about them being able to feed themselves with a spoon.

My opinions of both Huffman and Loughlin have both taken a hit from this. I thought they were legitimately good people who wouldn't try pulling stuff like this. I'd be really surprised if W.H. Macy didn't know what his wife was up to in trying to get their daughter's test scores up so until proven otherwise, he's taken a hit as well.

 

[DarkKnight88]

This seems like the plot to some funny 80s comedy.

Minus the jail time, of course.

That's true. Meanwhile Asians are suing Harvard because they can't get in based on having high grades (I hope Harvard loses BTW), but Beckies are having to have their parents cheat for them just to get into second-rate state college.

It's been thrown around social media all day, but the consensus basically, you're a white girl and you're wealthy. You don't already have a ****ing leg up?

 

[RockSP]

I'm shocked, I tell you. Just shocked and scandalized. You mean to tell me rich people do shady and illegal things?!!!??? Next you'll be telling me cops aren't automatically good people by virtue of being cops, or that politicians can be bought.

...ROFL! Those last two suggestions were just too ridiculous on my part. I apologize.

Especially now that "calling the cops on a black man buying finishing nails at Home Depot" is now a recognized major.

Remember guys, Affirmative Action is the real problem here.

From Full House to the Big House...

Lol, but actually, it kind of is. The underlying problem with Harvard is that rich white progressive liberals want to let in more underrepresented minorities, but also want to preserve THEIR level of privilege, meaning that Asians are getting screwed.

 

[MadVillainy]

Get these thugs off the streets

Get these thugs off the streets

I know this isn't politically correct to say, but every time I see a white woman in her 40s coming down the sidewalk wearing one of those pink or blue cardigans with a cat embroidered on it, I try to cross the street. I just don't feel comfortable, you know?

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Shocked at Felicity Huffman. Both she and Macy (He knew) seemed like genuinely decent people that wouldn't stoop to something like this.

They were probably desperate. Like terry78 said, if your kid can't even get into USC based on their ability, they'll either spend the rest of their lives dancing on a pole or sending death threats to Kelly Marie Tran.

 

[Schlosser85]

Meh. Plenty of parents have clouded judgment when it comes to their children. Look how fanatical parents of kids in sports get, they act like their son’s game in the park is the Super Bowl or something.

 

[Prison Mike]

I wouldn’t call USC some second rate state college though...not that that’s an excuse for all of this

 

[terry78]

It's not second rate, it's a private school and everything but...they're acting like it's Harvard or Yale or something the way she was shelling out cash. Plus the daughter in a video said she only wants to go for the parties.

Well, if that didn't sway the admissions committee, then I just don't know!

I’m more shocked that these two couldn’t produce an intelligent enough child to get in on their own merits.

Right! But some would rather buy their success than earn it. Maybe spend that money on a tutor instead of cheating.

The internet has no chill. I swear this has just been news for 3 seconds, yet...
