BEIJING - A friend of mine passed this along this morning:

In the morning, I logged in to MSN as usual. More than 10 friends of mine sent me this "bad news" and wanted me spread it to as many people as possible:

广东惠州三中领导捐款秀.先用摄象机拍摄了领导捐钱的画面,最后又把钱全部拿出来.甚至给每个学生发点钱叫他们去捐录影,录影完后领导又去把钱拿出来.大家多转发.好把这种人渣败类领导给找出来处罚.弄虚做假.误人子女.师德败坏.看见的请多多转发,依靠网络监督这种有损公共道德的做假行为！本校学生偷拍

The leader of No.3 Middle school in Huizhou, Guangdong Province has "directed" a show of donation. He asked staff to video tape him and some other leaders of the school donating money. After the video had been taken, he and his co-workers took back all the money they donated. Not only that, they gave some money to each student and asked them to donate it on tape. Afterwards, the money was returned.

My friends said, let's spread this ugly image of this school leader! Use the internet as media supervision tool, to criticize this behaviour!

You can watch the video shot by the students here.

UPDATE (1:48pm Beijing Time):

Thanks to cat for filling us in on the story in the comments section. We learned how quickly rumors can spread when people began predicting an earthquake between 10pm and midnight on the day of the Sichuan quake. Looks like this story may just be a rumor, as well.
