Advertising Assignment Goes Shockingly Awry on MySpace
An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A university student appears to be responsible for an advertising class assignment that went awry when the teacher's pug was threatened to be killed online, the school said.More here.
Virginia Commonwealth University had previously said it did not suspect a student was behind the posting on networking site MySpace.com in which someone identifying himself as Jason threatened to kill the pug, Oscar, online this week.
The school later traced the postings to a school computer. It refused to identify the suspect because of federal privacy laws regarding students.
Mike Lear, an adjunct professor at VCU's Adcenter, last week gave his class an assignment to make his 6-year-old pug famous. While most students posted fliers around campus with the pooch's picture on them, the MySpace user opted for a more shocking approach.
