School Needs Better Reason To Ban Porn Star From Prom

megan piperSo here’s a random tale that reminds me more of a John Hughes flick than an actual news story: 18-year-old Mike Stone, a student at Minnesota’s Tartan Senior High School, asked several girls to prom but got turned down. So he started a Twitter campaign to get a porn star to accompany him to prom instead. Stone Tweeted more than 600 adult film stars, ”i have dinner hotel and ill give u a massage to.” (Wow, hot.)

But guess what? Megan Piper, an L.A.-based adult entertainer, said yes on the condition that Stone pay for her airfare. And so the deal was done until the school banned Piper, 19, from attending prom, that is. Stone says his principal called him into his office and suggested he pick another date.

Needless to say, Stone who said, “I was just doing it to see what actually happened” was pissed. As was Piper, who told the Huffington Post, “I’m not thrilled. I kind of wanted to go.” Piper, who never had the chance to attend her own prom, had been looking forward to meeting Stone’s parents, getting a corsage and posing for prom pics.

Speaking of Stone’s parents… this principal gave them a call and let’s just say that mama Stone is less than pleased. “She’s really mad about it,” Stone told the Daily Dot. “She’s saying I embarrassed them now.” But she has since come around and is reportedly angry with the school for disallowing her son’s prom date to attend.

Stone now has legions of Twitter followers who have started their own campaign to allow Piper to go to the dance. (The hashtag #Porn4Prom was actually trending in Minnesota earlier this week.) Comments like, “You sir, are The Man. For having the cajones to do what no one else is man enough to do. Good luck!” and “Your school district officials sound like a bunch of joyless dried up old cunts for threatening to arrest your guests” abound. (I’m telling you, this is a modern-day John Hughes plot!)

District officials released a statement explaining that Piper’s presence at the school would violate school policies pertaining to visitors, including keeping the school safe from “activity that may be disruptive.” The big question, of course, is how exactly she’d cause a disruption. As one of my friends (a guy) so eloquently put it, “What, do they think she’s going to blow everyone in the room?”

Look, I personally don’t like that Stone sought out a porn star to be his prom date after getting rejected by his peers. The guy can do whatever he pleases, but I find the whole thing degrading. That said, I also believe he should have a right to bring Piper to prom. As Stone’s own mother Diven Stone put it, “It’s not like they’re going to have sex there or make a movie. I bet if his date were someone like Mariah Carey, though, they would have paid to fly her there.”
