Friends Pelt Stanford Junior With Light Bulbs

February 20, 2008 RSS Feed Print

In some sort of misguided publicity stunt, a Stanford junior was pelted with nine fluorescent light bulbs—apparently symbolizing the other nine Pac-10 schools, the Stanford Daily reports. Check out the photo, or just read the following quote from a lucky witness:

"It was kind of like everyone was watching it like a train wreck about to happen.... When I saw him about to do it, I didn't really think of the magnitude until he started getting hit with the fluorescent bulbs and bleeding profusely. It was very impressive."
