Most Ridiculous Item of the Day

Okay, tony's computer is having spyware problems so i cant get the link to work- if they had permission slips, im sorry, you're out of luck. i couldnt tell if they did or not, however..


side note: i have to say this just because frog-man mentioned it~
McDonald's 'head haunchos' or whatever decided that since they were offering free refils of cofee, that in order to prevent themselves from loosing some money they would simply bump up the temperatures to make the cofee -boiling- hot. this would make the drink too hot for the person to drink and by the time it cooled they'd most likely be leaving the franchise anyways. so this woman gets a cup, it spills, and she gets some pretty sever burns, hospital worthy. the reason mcdonald's had to pay up so much to her was not because she necessarily deserved the money, but because mcdonalds is so large, you actually have to make it hurt. what if it had been a small child to run into the leg of an adult while pouring cofee and it spilt and put some sever burns on the child?

That's really appalling... I remember when they made fun on the Simpsons about parents wanting to boycott Michelangelo's David because of the nudity and not let any of their kids see it, even though it's... well, freakin' David! To see that kind of thing go on in real life? Sad... pathetic... and frankly, far more embarrassing than any oil painted nude could ever be. It's such a far cry from pornography it's not even funny.

I think it's sick that schools and parents both are so willing to sacrifice the arts and music. Art is important and hideously underappreciated. Nudity is a poor excuse for an excuse. Just another reason for kids to be ashamed of their bodies and deprived of culture and new ideas.

Urgh, I can't even get my thoughts expressed properly on this subject, it's a sore spot with me and I'm too disgusted. Funny on the Simpsons, :fork: irl. When it gets to the point where art museums are getting censored, that's it, I need to move to Europe or something...

That's freaking insane, the thing that worries me is that these kids will now grow up with an odd take on artistic nudity and nudity all together. It's more disturbing to children to hear adults talking about what's displayed in an art museum as wrong and indecent then it is for kids to actually see it. And even if it is something that these parents don't want these children to be exposed to and they get, read, and sign a permission slip then it's no ones fault but these parents. Some of the things that parents like this are doing are just setting these kids up for therapy later in life......
