Quote of the day:

“What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.” – Will Rogers




Am I the only one
who finds the proliferation of porn in the country alarming?  For
school I started making these nifty slideshows to help teach vocabulary
words.  Google image search has been a great resource, but almost
every word I search turns up people letting it all hang out, so to
speak.  Even the most innocuous words … like stretch or tiptoe
… bring up less than wholesome images. 

Now, I’m not a prude or anything.  I think people have the right
to look at nekkid people, etc., but do I have to see people flappin’ in
the breeze everywhere I turn?  Couldn’t they name their image
“fake penis slung over shoulder” instead of “stretch”?  Or
“topless woman with hand up cheerleading skirt” instead of “tiptoe”?

Once I looked up the word flannel and one of the top three images was a
penis poking out of a flannel shirt.  Sheesh!  No wonder our
district won’t let us image search at school. 

The year before last I told the kids to write on the topic “Three
things I hate about _______.”  One of my boys wrote “Three Things
I Hate About Porn.”  Hello?    Well,
of course I had to delve into this one.  He explained that his
older sister accidentally downloaded a pornographic picture.  As
it was loading, they realized what it was and he covered his eyes and
started screaming, “Turn it off! Make it stop!”  See?  Even
kids are sick of it.   It makes me wonder when the novelty is
gonna wear off for grownups.


I
know I can’t change the world, but I can request to those who “share”
so liberally on the Internet,  “Could you please put your
protuberances away while I’m doing my schoolwork or at least name the
evidence something suitably sleazy?”  Thanks.
