Ahmed Mohamed Withdraws From Texas High School

Ahmed Mohamed was arrested when he brought a homemade clock to school, but now his future's looking bright.

Okay it is obvious that people are using him for good PR at this point.

He has conned you all! Who makes a clock in a suitcase? Seriously! If he was so smart, witch he is. Why would he make a clock in a suitcase? That thing did look like a bomb. And by the way he didn't make the clock. He took a clock apart and put in a suitcase. That's some MIT A+ engineering skills. Apparently now you can dismantle some thing, and put it in a suitcase, and you can get into MIT?!?!?!?!?!?! And get free shit!

SpongeBob: Hey Patrick What am I?
Patrick: Uh Stupid?
SpongeBob: Nope I'm Texas
Patrick: Hahaha what's the difference 😂

I bet Ahmed was thinking about that one SpongeBob episode when he was arrested

[gharaebtv]

when you want to make shit, make it look like a bomb and then get all the praise and the attention.

[SpeedOfFlash]

He's probably blessing the day he got arrested right now.

[spiderliliez]

It's a crazy oversized clock.
No wonder everyone gets panicky.

[TheCapitalistic]

inb4 he builds a bomb out of the microsoft things he got and puts them in his clock for the visit.

As much as I wish the best for Ahmed, I hope it's not lost that he is only one of far too many facing discrimination because of their faith/ethnicity/social status. Most of their stories won't be heard. I hope Ahmed's story has opened some people's eyes.

[chroniclesofmanliness]

Aww man....now I'm jealous :/
But good for him :D

OK!!!enough now let's talk about the 17 years old protester about to beheaded by Saudi Arabia for opposing the family run government of Mecca.

[mistermood]

i guess it worked out for him after all.. :)

Apparently Sarah Palin is the queen of England. Does that mean she can no longer hold public office again? If so, this is the best news I've heard all morning. Lets have the Brits deal with her for a while.

It is nice to see that the situation backfired for all the Islamophobes in his town.

[kcmn]

I think in the end the whole thing was a positive for him.

This is sad. Paint yourself a darker color and end up in a fuck up like this and you get rewarded with several free college scholarships, gifts, money, and the occasional apology. What kind of sense does this fucking make?! You shouldn't get free scholarships for taking apart some RadioShack clock, re wiring it, then putting it in a suitcase while being Muslim. This kid has gotten us all to bow to him. No wonder he looks so happy in these pictures. HES FUCKING WITH US

[maybeiam]

He didn't make a clock, he disassembled an already made clock into a suitcase. Millions of other kids do projects much more impressive than him yet he's being called a genius, and being invited by all these companies, and being sent gifts?

[DuhAznMata]

Can anyone give me a picture of a clock that look similarly like Ahmed ?

[KnuckleHunkybuck]

I bet he can't wait to get his "clock" back & take it to the #WhiteHouse to show @BarackObama ... looking forward to meeting you! I'm sure it'll be a #blast.

[iamdrew]

That's awesome. I'm happy for this kid! Hopefully he uses his celebrity to uplift his voice for helping others.

[koohoo]

I think we can all agree that it would've been much more impressive if he had indeed build a bomb instead. Now let's move on.
