Everybody's favorite wtf for today

Today's wtf moment is proof that even higher education is subjected to a big dose of stupid. In Santa Rosa Junior college the bureaucracy is decided to kick stupid up a notch by threatening to sue people for their email address. An official at the college had this to say:

“Let’s say I’m a student named Mary Kay Rudolph and I have a Yahoo account,” said Mary Kay Rudolph, vice president of academic affairs. “But, instead of asking to be mkrudolph@yahoo.com I am mksrjc@yahoo.com. Or, I am santarosajuniorcollege2@yahoo.com. Those are both illegal.”

Really? Last time I checked, we still had the freedom to say what we want. That freedom of speech applies to writing as well. I honestly don't think this college has a leg to stand on. I wish that this case would get national attention to show how utterly retarded this is. An illegal email address. I think I shall create a plethora of SRJC accounts just because I can.

Do the administrators at this college really have all this extra time to create this unnecessary situation? I think that they don't have enough work if this is how they spend their time.
