I don't think the hat stunt tells us much about the character of the hattee recruit. If a kid wants to do it, fine with me.
As I said in my original post...I don't think we need PICTURES of that rite of passage. Why. Because its BORING. Been done. By thousands of kids. These kids have the right to their moment in the spotlight (such as it is). They do NOT have the right to bore me. That's why, if they simply must do something semi-theatrical, do something new. Tatoo on their abs. A grill on their teeth spelling out the name of their school of choice. Interpretive dance. That'd be different. I'd watch that. Just, pleeeeeeze, no pics/videos of hat ceremonies.
