Remember Funny or Offensive?
One of the highlights for me was the book Bunny Suicides, which became the subject of First Amendment debate when a parent in Oregon sought to ban it from her son’s school library. From the Spectator blog at Seattle U.:
Complaints began when Taffey Anderson’s son brought home a book entitled The Book of Bunny Suicides by Andy Riley. In the book, bunnies are committing suicide in various ways and this concerned Anderson enough to complain to the school board. Since October, the school board has voted multiple times on whether the book should be banned from the high school library.
Today, the first amendment one a minor victory, as the members of the board voted to allow the book to remain in the library, unrestricted and available to students.
And thank God, ’cause this shit is funny:
liz | 1:10 PM | Funny or Offensive?, cute fix
that’s three minutes of my life I’ll never get back… and yet I grinned through the whole thing.
THE WORD SUICIDE IS NO FUNNY MATTER IT”S A VERY SELFISH ACT WHICH HURT”S FAMILY”S DEEPLY AND FOREVER.
Maybe not so funny after the plane crash, Liz … (sigh)
dvd player guillotine is the best! feather-tickling a weightlifter in the midst of a clean and jerk is a close second.
