This is a load of garbage. If this kid was a girl or from a visible minority group, I doubt anyone would be complaining.

What a great suggestion she had for drawing names out of a hat. Because that's how things work in the real world.

I told her (Gandron), but she said it's not a contest, it's the reading club and everybody should get a chance

1) Everybody DOES get a chance - read more books than nerdlinger over there and you'll win.
2) If there's a prize at the end for reading the most books - it's a contest.

I wish I was astounded by the stupid, but at least it seems to be confined to one person in this case.

This made me laugh I think more than it should have. Thanks

Now you too can have permanent duckface surgery





http://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/duckface.png

In some cultures, we know that the rigors of beauty extend to surgically-inflicted homogeneity. But it's not all about traditional standards: the modern, vulgar, coquettish turn of the lips, known to all as duckface, is allegedly gaining popularity as a permanent option in Asia. Brian Ashcraft:

    In the past, the surgery seems to have been primarily been used as a way to combat frowns naturally caused by aging. Last year and this year, however, there have been more and more plastic surgeons introducing the surgery as a way to achieve a beautiful smile—all the time, it seems! The target appears to be younger patients.

Sometimes it goes wrong, as "the surgery involves stitches, which might leave some scarring around the corners of the mouth, resulting in a somewhat Joker-like grin."

I... I just... What?!

Wait till it goes out of fashion. Than you're left looking like a duck to you're children.

I don't know what to make of this.

I'm surprised they didn't call it the kaiju pizza. Either way, this is gross.

Kim Jong-un's ex-lover 'executed by firing squad'

The reports in South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper indicate that Hyon, a singer with the Unhasu Orchestra, was among those arrested on August 17 for violating domestic laws on pornography.

All 12 were machine-gunned three days later, with other members of North Korea's most famous pop groups and their immediate families forced to watch. The onlookers were then sent to prison camps, victims of the regime's assumption of guilt by association, the reports stated.

Some of the musicians were also found to have bibles when they were detained and all were treated as political dissidents.

Shot in front of their friends and families for pornography and bibles. Yeah, right.
