I've never been one for speeches. Not reading, or writing them and when I have to listen to one my brain dies a little bit. But putting that aside I have found one that is brilliant. (Sadly not the debate club one where I was interviewed in a murder trial, that is an entirely different post.)
Read this if you can
This is the best graduation speech I have ever heard of. (Not one mention of that Robert Frost poem! That alone deserves a gold star.)
It is also the best graduation speech that will never be heard because this poor kid's school has vetoed it. Wow, wouldn't want a thoughtful creative speech when some drunk sod can ramble on about two roads in a wood and which one leads to hot models and the other to a life as a fry wizard while living in Mom's basement. Hmmmm that sounds suspiciously like the one I had to sit through. Weird.
It's great to know that the education system likes to encourage students to think out of the box. Maybe some day they'll start teaching them how to do math, read, or even where Hungary is.

OK maybe geography is a stretch. Who needs that?
