?!?!?!

So she thinks committing crime is the only way to give her daughter a
leg up in the world but the little snowflake goes on to major in
drama... DRAMA!... at Carnegie Mellon?!?!?

She majors in the one thing for which college isn't even necessary,
given her Emmy-Award-winning parents, who have more than enough
influence in Hollywood to give her advantages that college never could.

$15,000 sounds like a deal didn’t Laurie Loughlin pony up something like
half 1 million?

Yes, but Loughlin went for so much more. As I remember it she had her
kid show up as some sort of athlete (faked) with support from some
coach that helped get her kid into a school she didn't want to attend.
At some point Loughlin should have listened to her kid and realized
she was wasting her money.

As for Huffman I feel like she was also wasting her money. While
having a higher SAT score was a bigger issue a few decades ago 1) it
isn't nearly as important today and 2) if the kid can't do the work
even giving the child a perfect SAT score isn't going to help. It's my
understanding that the more prestigious schools always just had
baseline SAT scores but were much more interested in things like your
extracurricular activities. Hence why kids would spend so much time
building up this list of things to show that they were special.

Yes, but that’s the deal of the school offered her. I still think it’s
ridiculous they sent the victim to jail instead of the criminals.

You would think that fake SAT scores would be useful at lots of different
colleges, and therefore more valuable!

Compared to Jean Lundegaard, Huffman and William H. got off easy.

Sure, no Journalism school Jenna Bush is on tv 5 days a week.

There are a lot of selfish rich / famous people out there who think
they can buy their way into or out of anything.

The so-called justice system doesn't help either. There have been lots
of cases where a "promising young sports star" or "well-known
celebrity" who has been arrested, but the court has given them
continual name supression or even completely dropped the charges simply
because "it might hurt the future career" ... and not just misdemeanor
charges either. X-(

Since when was a criminal conviction NOT supposed to impact the
convicted well after he or she had served their term? Since when was a
conviction supposed to be odium-free?

The new SAG Contract gives Frances Mcdormand the only power to serve arrest and search warrants to Tenured actors.
