<p>Just ignore the little shooting problem–a fluke no doubt…Yes, seriously.</p>

<p>what a ridiculous event…</p>

<p>Killjoy…What’s your beef with it? All parties can be called ridiculous in a way but there is nothing wrong with getting dressed to the nines once in your life.</p>

<p>elephants, guns, yep not going too far, not just dressing to the nines…taking a very precious endangered species and using it to show off, if you need so many props, and can’t have fun without them, well, you need to look around and see what is lacking</p>

<p>Elephants have been work animals for generations in their native countries. It was a tank–not a gun. The gun was in the crowd which in Racine is not that uncommon–it’s a tough town.</p>

<p>They don’t really describe the event in detail other than the kids walk down a red carpet and everyone watches… so? </p>

<p>I glanced at a prom related article in the latest People magazine. Topic was how expensive they can be. Pic of a girl wearing an $8500 designer prom gown. Made me angry, then physically ill, then just sad… her rich uncle bought it for her. :(</p>

<p>Wow, I agree with citygirlsmom - what a ridiculous event. Whenever I hear of stuff like this I just shake my head and think that some people just have too much money.</p>
