let's hug it out

I read this ridiculous story about a girl in Alabama who was suspended from school for hugging a friend. The school county's code of conduct cites that "inappropriate public displays of affection, included but not limited to embracing and kissing" are forbidden.

While this is absolute none-sense, I can't say I'm altogether surprised. The average American has an IQ of 72, and to be elected in any kind of influencial position there a person must have an IQ no higher than 70 (at least mild mental retardation). Ok, that's a lie (or is it?) but in a country where people sue for their coffee being too hot, I suppose it was going to come to this eventually. Remember the case where the 17 year old received consensual oral sex from a 15 year old and was charged with statuatory rape? It's absurd. It angers me. Let the frickin kids hug.

If you too want to experience an overwhelming sensation of gratitude for your Canadian citizenship, read this.

"fashion" flashback

So I've generally lost interest in blogging, but I couldn't help but share with my MANY readers this lovely link (courtesy of E. Watt who, like I, enjoys making fun of pretty much everyone). Check out this blog post about the 1977 JC Penney catalogue. Guaranteed hilarity.
