Rain- No fun in that dysfunction. J- I must be a prude, because even on a teen, it is just wrong to me. Liz- A definite anti-child vibe there for sure.

I'm far too refined. I could make a pun about “peen” here, but of course I won’t. I’m far too refined.

I realise I am being pedantic - but it reads "..the penultimate winner..." so who won the grand prize?? or perhaps you use this word and I do not think it means what you think it means Ummm….

Mom & Dad in the oictures usually fall into the category of "Trash". You just know these kids are gonna end up on Jerry Springer some day.

It would also explain why the middle-school girls are wearing micro skirts and flip-flops to school. A parent that would willingly dress their child in one of these shirts is certainly not going to have the sense to say to their teenage daughter "you aren't walking out of this house looking like THAT, young lady."

As the mother of a son, and even more as the wife of a loving father, this kind of anti-male crap pisses me the hell off.
