In eighth grade, I once witnessed a very surreal presentation that most likely warped a few of my classmates. A traveling theatre troupe --- there's your first red flag -- came by to "rap" with us modern teenagers (why this always involves the presenter straddling a backwards chair is beyond me) and talk about the dangers of engaging in premarital sex. They weren't allowed to say "sex," and instead used the vague term of "relations." Somehow, they connected the behavior with being more likely to drive while drunk and then crash to a fiery death. Though I was about as sophisticated as a bottle of Snapple back then, even I could tell that this was ridiculous. I also thought it was a comedy performance, laughed at an inopportune time and got a talking-to by my teacher.

They also ended the presentation by giving our school a flag featuring a photo of Earth, which still might be hanging to this day. I don't think they were invited back.
