There’s a high school principal who’s going viral right now for PLAGIARIZING his graduation speech from Ashton Kutcher.<\/p>\n
Ken DeMoss is the principal at Parkersburg High School in West Virginia.\u00a0 Back in 2013, Ashton Kutcher gave a\u00a0speech\u00a0at the Teen Choice Awards.\u00a0 And this guy ripped it off.<\/p>\n
He structured his speech like Ashton . . . used a lot of the same phrases, stories and even ended with the same\u00a0Steve Jobs<\/strong>\u00a0quote and by saying “I love you guys.”<\/p>\n Well . . . one of the students at the school realized so she edited together the two speeches.<\/p>\n Once it started going viral, the principal offered a statement and in between comments about how he’s a, quote, “man of faith,” with three master’s degrees, he admits he HAS seen Ashton’s speech and borrowed quite a bit from it. He also noted he didn’t get paid extra to give the speech.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A very rare\u00a0BABE RUTH<\/strong>\u00a0jersey is up for auction, and it’s expected to go for more than $4.5 million.\u00a0 That would set a record for the highest grossing sports memorabilia item of all time.<\/p>\n It’s a game-worn, Yankees road jersey, which dates back to the late ’20s.\u00a0 Only a few authentic Babe Ruth jerseys exist.\u00a0 The most recent one to sell also went for more than $4 million.<\/p>\n This jersey will be sold as part of a live auction event featuring the Personal Collection of Babe Ruth.\u00a0 It’ll take place at Yankee Stadium on June 15th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Along the way, he encounters Sheriff Pat Garrett, on the hunt for the infamous outlaw<\/p>\n Billy the Kid.
