Here is a new twist on "the dog ate my homework"
Excerpt from article:
Corrupted-Files.com offers a service -- recently noted by several academic bloggers who have expressed concern -- that sells students (for only $3.95, soon to go up to $5.95) intentionally corrupted files.
Why buy a corrupted file?
Here's what the site says:
"Step 1: After purchasing a file, rename the file e.g. Mike_Final-Paper.
Step 2: E-mail the file to your professor along with your 'here's my assignment' e-mail.
Step 3: It will take your professor several hours if not days to notice your file is 'unfortunately' corrupted. Use the time this website just bought you wisely and finish that paper!!!"
The site promises that students can stop using "lame excuses" like the deaths of grandmothers or turning in poor work.
