‘Juno’ to blame in rise of teen pregnancy …

Posted June 20 by Scott in Geeks on Movies General News Movies

That’s right boys and girls, because ‘Juno’ portrayed teen pregnancy in such a fun way..teens at North Shore High School in Gloucester, Massachusetts. That has to be the only explanation as to why all of these girls are getting pregnant.

According to a news report the teen pregnancies have quadrupled at this high school, and they blame ‘Juno’! Strangely they didn’t blame Britney Spears’ little sister… but that’s only because she also blames the movie.

from the report:

“An investigation by Time magazine came up with a quite unexpected and shocking reason for the motherhood rash. It also resolved the mystery of why so many girls had been trooping out of class all year and into the school clinic for pregnancy tests, often to seem more disappointed than relieved if the results came back negative. Indeed, many of them were showing up for tests multiple times.

The report, posted on Time’s website yesterday, claims that teachers finally rumbled that at least half of the girls, none of whom were over 16, had entered into a secret pact to try to get pregnant and then raise their babies together.

Further inquiries revealed even more unsettling details. “We found out that one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless man,” the headmaster, Joseph Sullivan, revealed.

None of the pregnant pupils or their parents agreed to be interviewed by Time. But Amanda Ireland, who recently graduated from the school and who gave birth herself while a student, said it all made sense to her. Depressed by job losses spurred in particular by the gradual collapse of the fisheries industry, Gloucester is not a place that offers its young much recreational distraction. Trips to the shopping centre lose their appeal eventually. Drastic action was required to alleviate boredom.”

That is almost an exact replica of the plot so I could see why they would “point” the finger at the movie. Seriously..this is one of the more ridiculous stories i have heard in a very long time. Not since ‘The Matrix’ and Marilyn Manson were blamed for Columbine!
