I was having a coffee at Dragonfly in Louisville this morning and I grabbed the Centaurus Odyssey, the high school newspaper. The May 1 issue was done in the spirit of the Onion; that is a complete issue of satire and parody. articles that made me laugh included "Steve Irwin's Zombie Caught Harassing Koala Bear", "Cell Phones Found to Cure Cancer", and an overview of the Morbidly Obese Olympics (MOO)".
There was a sharp commentary by Anna Nicole Smith's ghost on the misplaced focus by American media on irrelevant topics, a dismissal of Republican-bashing political cartoons and an interview with Jesus Christ regarding random songs on his iPhone.
I was impressed with the cleverness, awareness and often the cynicism found in the articles. Check out the online and print versions of your local high school. They are a great source of information on the concerns and mindsets of the next batch of leaders.
