Question asked by a reddit user to the community:
Quote
background: Relative of a close friend (we'll call him Todd) carried mountain dew in his backpack to school every day. For a few weeks, this bully ("Brian") would go in his bag, say fuck you, and drink the mountain dew.
Fed up with this and being a cunning lad, last Tuesday Todd drinks the mountain dew before class, and pisses in the bottle. Brian drank the piss, shat brix, and Todd emerged the victor that day.
Now, Brian's family is threating to sue, claiming Todd endangered Brian's health. Todd's family is apparently shitting and scrambling to collect character references for Todd from teachers, letters from doctors saying urine isn't harmful, and generally thinking their son is a psycho.
I applaud Todd and think that he should walk into court holding a bottle of piss, it's freedom of expression, some people like piss filled bottles, but IANAL.
Edit The school became aware of the incident when it happened. I believe Todd was suspended for a short period of time. The principal is actually instructing Brian's parents to press charges because the school doesn't want to get further involved
:horrormirth:
Land of the free, indeed.
oh ffs. :horrormirth:
UNLESS
one is in extremely bad health, piss is better for consumption than mountain dew
i'm pretty sure we all need to donate $10 to Todd's legal defense fund, in the name of the POEE.

Seriously.
Hail fellow redditors... this is awkward. I come here to get away from reddit.. lol.
I call bullshit. There's no way that would stand up in court, presuming that Brian had stolen the bottle from Todd's bag.
Also, Lys, WTF is with your constant America-bashing when the only meaningful difference between our country and yours is that yours has better weather and nicer beaches? I'm amused that you act as if this couldn't happen in Australia. :lulz:

You forget Australia IS a part of the America, we're the USA, United states of Australia, the little brother of big brother, everywhere you go, we follow.
I wish that were true in the de jure sense, not just de facto.
Then I wouldn't need a visa to move there.

Piss is sterile... mountain dew is corn syrup
my question would.
Would Brian even notice the difference?
"Stop the bullying!"
"Stand up for yourself!"
This irks me. That little fucker deserves it. Of course, I would have castrated him after the FIRST time he drank my soda.
School staff can't prevent bullying. Not fucking headline news. Sucks, but better than having the adults bail out every interpersonal scuffle. The school should deal with it though. They've pretty much proven themselves both unable to care for their charges AND unwilling to apply dsicipline. If any other child care organization admited this, they be shut down.
How are they proving this all went down anyways? Beyond statement vs. statement, establishing the presence and the source of the urine is only going to be done by retaining the original pissbottle. (OH PLEASE let them not have the foresight to refridgerate it!)
Well, whether or not he is busted by the courts for it (and my unqualified opinion is that he should not), Todd can live with the sweet satisfaction of knowing he got Brian to drink piss. Forever.

:lulz: newsfeed
I don't see where this has been in the news or whatever...this is like a fictional story at this point. It's hit the internet at top speed, but only on places like boingboing and fark. And it all leads back to the original reddit post. So...yeah..."citation needed."
Because here's the thing: zero-tolerance for bullying is actually the name of the game these days. School shootings are sometimes the result, and we all know how well school districts LOVE those. So...unless I see where this is taking place and with what school district/community, I'm calling bullshit.
Because bullies never take responsibility for their own actions, preferring to rely on the "he made me do it!" and the "she was asking for it!" rationale, odds are that "Brian" didn't frame his complaint as "I stole Todd's Mountain Dew and drank it but it turned out it was piss", but rather as "Todd pulled a mean prank on me by giving me a Mountain Dew bottle filled with piss".
Also, for the record, I'm calling urban legend on this whole story right now.

Right on Jenne! I didn't see your post before I wrote mine. I'm thinking the same thing.

It's totally true.
I have a friend of a friend who's dog was once owned by the uncle of the boy in question
Well I've tried google with every combination I can think of and can't find a single article on this. If it has truly gone to a kid having charges pressed and such, I'm thinking some news coverage would have been out there.

Nice try, Reddit user! But the internet declares your story FAKE and GAY.
I'm happy its bogus.

called it in the 7th post ITT.
very similar to that ancient egyptian story
about the thief who injures himself while breaking into somebody's house
and sues the homeowner
and as the audience we're supposed to go
AHHH OUR FORM OF JUSTICE IS ACTUALLY UNJUST

Shit, I missed it. ECH wins thread!
Also, must point out that nowhere in the original story does it say WHERE alleged incident was supposed to have taken place. I guess we're all just supposed to assume it was in the US because herp derp.
No, Nigel. Only Americans do horribly stupid and unjust things. The rest of the world is a shining beacon of reason and enlightenment.
I figure it's only Americans that are willing to drink Mountain Dew
Im just kidding of course
:D
It gives me urinary tract infections.
I actually just think it's fucking disgusting. What the hell flavor IS that, anyway?
I always assumed it was a drink only Americans would stomach, but then I heard somewhere that it's like the third or fourth most popular soda in Syria. :?
Eh, when I was younger I used to drink it, but these days I don't really drink soft drink at all.
I think it just supposed to be sugar flavour.

It's disgusting, but still mildly more palatable than the insult that is Irn-Bru.
I hear it is magically delicious when you mix it with Four Loko.

It's the yellow 5 dye they use. There's something in that stuff that pisses off my bladder and gives me cystitis. PISS LIKE BURNING.

No I just uploaded those three, cause I liked them so much, and they were among the first pretty good free web fonts I came across.
