Sheldon Says the F Word!

April 29th, 2008 | by Mitchell Allen |

I was shocked.
What did he think he was doing?
Well, I looked deep into his recent activities and discovered …

Another aspiring writer.

Sheldon is attending college online and is writing for a scholarship.

He has written a series of provocative articles, designed to garner eyeballs and elicit responses.

The headlines include such doozies as:

  • Just a F******* Word?
  • Arguing the Other Side - Same-sex Marriage
  • Should the Murder be Punished?
  • Bloodberry, Will You Marry Me?
  • Side Effects May Include

He is holding down the fifth and final spot and is looking for your help.

[Update]

Sheldon was awarded a $1,000 Scholarship.

Thanks for your support!

Everyone who registers at collegenet.com can support his writing by sending him a vote.

I’ll let him tell you how you can help him:

Hi Everyone,

Here are the instructions for sending a vote for the scholarship:

1. Go to Create Account

2. Fill out all the information, but leave the ‘Make me a candidate in the CollegeNET scholarship election.’ box unchecked so it creates a voter account.

3. Once you receive a code on your cell phone, login to the new account and enter the validation code to validate the account.

4. Go to my profile and click on the vote button.

5. Click the link to send a vote code to your cell phone and insert it into the box (it usually only takes a second, but it might take up to a minute).

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Sheldon

    Any voting options for well-wishers who don’t have cell phones, by any chance?

    Hi Jen,

    Not that I know of. They have to do it this way to minimize fraud.

    By the way, Sheldon was awarded a $1,000 scholarship!

    Woo-hoo!

    Thanks for asking.

    Cheers,

    Mitch
