‘Incest prank’ at high school pep rally goes viral, prompts apology from school principal [View all]

http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/incest-prank-high-school-pep-rally-viral-prompts-apology-school-principal-article-1.992930

Blindfolded athletes were tricked into kissing their own parents at a pep rally prank, and now the Minnesota high school’s principal is saying sorry.

Responding to several complaints after a video of the ‘incest prank’ video went viral on YouTube, Rosemount High School Principal John Wollersheim released a statement:

“This activity was intended to be fun, but some found it offensive,” he wrote. “We apologize to anyone who was offended by this activity.

And no, I'm not posting the video.
