Much-Maligned Penn State Student Loses Job

Whether you're the vindictive type or not, it's interesting to note that one of the Penn State students who dressed up as Virginia Tech shooting victims at Halloween was fired from his Bank of America job in December, the Collegiate Times reports. Maybe I'd feel worse about this if he didn't then try to sell the controversial costume on eBay. The online auction company quickly took down the post, proving that a multibillion-dollar tech firm has more class than this dude.

As for the female student, she apologized. Lucky for her, I'm the forgiving type.
