Welcome to Mr. Jefferson's University

By Jennifer McDaniel | July 31, 2003

He turned to me, and with an exaggerated look of exasperation and responded, "What was the moral of Avril Lavigne's 'Sk8r Boi'?! No, really, it's not whether the myth is true or false, it's simply the fact that it exists that freaks me out."
