We always said "jury-rigged", not "jerry-rigged"... and "jerry" as a slur only ever referred to Germans (c. WWII), as far as I know. No idea how this phrase could be construed as racist, but I'm willing to be surprised.

That's a little different. That's separating a creator from their work, not discovering that the work itself is racist. The Little Mermaid isn't about hating Jews. She never sings about sending them all to death camps or how they secretly control the ocean.

I kind of agree with this sentiment. If the lyrics were played, I would feel a whole lot differently. But there are a lot of "tunes" we hear that have racist, sexist, or other demeaning lyrics... I only think it's a problem when the lyrics are known and used vs. what most assume are just melodies.

Oh god, I read that as LGBTQ-In-App-Purchases.

As a Brit, I have 2 things to say:

1: Your political system is WAY fucked up.

2: You need to get on this socialised healthcare shit ASAP. It is GREAT. You are going to LOVE IT.

"The Female human body is the most beautiful work of Art God ever created"

Doesn't God work in mysterious ways, everyone? In the face of such a tragedy, he's always there to remind us of the one fact that can hold us together, through thick and thin: that Wolf Blitzer is an oblivious fucking asshole.

Naw, Ender only viciously murders a bully in a cold blooded rage by smashing his nose into his brain in the first chapter. Nothing really bad like pasting some man-mayo on a prostitute or anything.

BOOM!!! Headshot...

AH yes the Freudian slip - where you say one thing but mean your mother.

I don't know the other books (I know, Ender's game is sort of a gap in my education ;) ), either, but honestly - I can't take anyone serious who thinks Agatha Christie is endangering our youth, no matter what else they want to forbid.

We watched the same in my English class. The teacher simply said "I'll assume you're mature enough to handle this. If not you'll get detention." I got to both feel sophisticated for bearing the teachers entrusted faith and I got to see boobies. Win win.

Shiiiit when I was 14 I got to see naked Juliet from Romeo & Juliet (1968 version) in my English class. Take that Aiken, SC!
