Rich people directly* bribing “elite” universities to accept their offspring. It had to happen eventually. That celebrities were involved should be no surprise. What was a surprise is that none of the celebrities were offering parts in movies to sweeten the pot.

By sheer coincidence, the new University of Kansas football head coach acted in movies in between coaching gigs.

I’m sure movie stars could get an administrator inked for a cameo deal in exchange for accepting one or all of their offspring.

“Privilege University Admissions how can I help you?”

”Yes, I’m doing a survey for Amalgamated Entertainment. Can you participate in a short survey?”

“Hmm, you sound familiar. Do I know you?

 “Have you spent any time in Poughkeepsie?”  

“No I haven’t”.

 “Are you sure?”

 “I think I would remember that.”

 “Not necessarily, I grew up there and can’t remember a thing.”

 “Do you have time to participate in a short survey?” 

“I have time to answer just a few questions.”

“ Do you happen to know what kind of movies the head of admissions favors?”

“Interesting question.  He won’t admit it but he’s big into Romantic Comedies.”

“Rom Coms huh. Well thank you for your input.”

“Is that it?”

“I said it was a short survey. Have a good day.”

“Ok, bye”.

Ring, Ring.

“Privilege University Admissions how can I help you.”

“Can I speak to the dean of admissions?”

“Now you definitely sound familiar”

“You spend any time in Sheboygan?”

“No can’t say I have.”

“That is a shame. It’s a nice quiet place to chill out”

“So about the dean?”

“Oh I’m sorry the dean is out with some business in Hollywood.”

“Oh that’s right, he did mention it. It’s a shame that I lost his cell number. I think he really would be excited to hear from me.”

“I can give that to you. It’s 555-555-yada yada.”

“Thanks.” 

“Don’t mention it.”

Ring Ring.

“Oh hello dean. You’ve been popular today.”

“Yea, about that. Do you know anything about me being cast for a part in “Women In The City 3”?”
