Last night was the final episode of the first season of MTV’s Teen Mom reality show, which followed the lives of four mothers that were originally on the network’s very popular 16 and Pregnant series last season. I’ve been following the show and making posts all season and although I’ve been quick to poke a little fun at some of the folks in the show (When is Butch getting his own series?!?), I have to confess that when it’s all said and done the series was nothing short of an enlightening documentary.

Students at Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe, Kansas decided they would try to imitate the infamous Prank Wars Half Court Shot Prank video in which College Humor’s Streeter blindfolded Amir and let him take a half court shot at a basketball game for a chance at $500,000.
