Lost in translation

Today the entire school went to see the Charlotte's Web movie in Morton. About halfway through, the film suddenly flipped upside down and then the entire movie began to run backwards. The dialogue too was disrupted and began to sound like one of those Twisted Sister songs that when played backwards tells you to kill your next door neighbor. The students became increasingly antsy as the seconds ticked by. I looked back at our principal who didn't seemed bothered by it in the least. After about three minutes of what sounded like the Malaysian version of the movie I walked over to the principal and asked her if she was going to let someone know about it. She looked baffled by my suggestion and replied "Oh, I thought they were just talking in animal voices and that's why I couldn't tell what they were saying." Not the smartest pig in the pen.
