Let us begin this week as it began, by pontificating on the fate of one Jocelyn Kirsch (and Edward Anderton). Now that the pair could face federal identity fraud charges, it’s time to look at the actual moral implications of delighting in a person’s trip to jail.
“The part of me that was friends with her knows she’s sad and that’s why she does the things that she does,” [a friend from high school] said. “The part of me that’s a little bit vindictive is not sad to see her getting hers, but hopefully some good will come of it and she’ll straighten herself out.”
Ha ha, just kidding, this is the Internet, what are morals, etc., etc. I do like that quote, though, because it totally helps prove my point that Drexel girls are just so ridiculously mean. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Anyway, that comes from today’s Daily News article, which talks about how Kirsch pretended to be an Olympic pole vaulter, which is pretty much the greatest thing ever.
Another classmate said Kirsch posted a photo of herself on her Facebook page - don’t bother looking for it, she took down the page over the weekend - pole vaulting “some ridiculous height that only an Olympian could do,” said the former bud, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The face in the photo was too dark to discern, the classmate said, adding that “it was clearly taken from another site.”
Some of Kirsch’s Drexel classmates never really bought the notion, including one Facebook user who posted a photo on one of two Facebook pages dedicated to Kirsch, titled “SHE GOIN’ TO JAAAAAAAAIL!!!! (and THAT’S hilarious).” The image features a pole vaulter with Kirsch’s police mug shot as the head and two cops behind her on Segways. The caption reads, “Can’t catch me, I’m a gold medalist!!!”
