"The event also serves to celebrate 20 winning high schools and students who organized the most creative nonpartisan voter registration efforts across the country. … According to a press release about the Prom-athon, four million Americans are scheduled to turn 18 between now and the 2020 general election in November."

No ulterior motive with the prom-athon. Oh, no. It's out of the goodness of her heart.

MTV didn’t have an inauguration ball in 2001 because there said that the recount took so long they didn’t have time to plan it.

I don’t recall their excuse in 2005.

Lemme guess, none in 2017.

Who’s Michael’s virtual date?

They don’t want to see how the obxxx graduation thing goes first? Supposed to have stars and stuff. I believe I read it’s tomorrow night.

An odd irony of this with MTV being involved is that it took the phenomenal success of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album for black artists to actually get their videos played on MTV. Apparently, the prevailing attitude at MTV until about 1983 or thereabouts was that black artists did soul and R&B and that had about as much of a place on MTV as country music videos did.

“I don’t recall their excuse in 2005.
Lemme guess, none in 2017.”

But it’s purely ‘non-partisan’, you know.

They’re really trolling for high schoolers, currently not in the indoctrination classrooms.

I didn't attend my prom in high school. I can think of a lot of things that might have gotten me to go - a former First Lady would not have been one of those things.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I aint never seen a wookie at a prom before.

I take it you didn't go to a big city high school?

[Trillian]

They are responsible for all these cancellations. Get bent.

[hal ogen]

You would have to be some kind of mental reject to want to “attend” a prom put on by this hermorphodite loser.
