It's a tough job playing the role of WT apolegetist, but someone's gotta do it; here goes nothing:
EVERYONE'S TAKING IT COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT!!
Whew, that was kinda fun, and actually much easier than it looks....

They just copied the idea from a story on an internet site. Which, by the way, is cheating when you don't cite the source.

This one kept me up last night:
Students who cheat are like a fake brand-name wrist-watch that only looks good
Cheating provides an artificially-induced short-term performance boost, whereas the improvement in the wrist-watch is cosmetic, only (i.e. no functional improvement in performance, but a degradation).
They could've gone with:
Students who cheat are like women who get boob jobs
Besides being slighty misleading (the implants are permanent), THAT would never fly past the GB.
Maybe:
Students who cheat are like athletes who use steroids
More accurate, but too edgy for the GB?
Hmmm, I feel the writer's pain, as his hands are kinda tied.....
Nevermind: I just saw the post above, where the writer paradoxically plagarized (plagarism IS cheating, last I checked) to make the point that it is evil to cheat.... No hypocrisy there, as WT coined the phrase, "do as we say, not as we do".
