A West Virginia, US, principal accused of plagiarising Ashton Kutcher in an address to his school's graduating class says he didn't mean to use someone else's work. Parkersburg High School Principal Kenny DeMoss has issued a statement saying he should have cited his sources in the May 23 speech, but asserted the ideas were his own. A graduate posted a video to Facebook that spliced DeMoss' speech with Kutcher's 2013 Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards speech and has since amassed more than 100,000 views. YOUTUBE/AP Students noticed more than a few similarities between Principal Kenny DeMoss's speech and a speech Ashton Kutcher gave in 2013.
