Now a warning?!

As another commenter already stated, Jon Stewart mocked phallic shaped buildings. I can't be the only person who always refers to the Washington Monument as "Our Nation's Penis".

Hadid (described by TIME as "the world's best-known female architect") believes that critics would not have drawn vulva-comparisons if a male architect had designed the building, which I don't think is necessarily the case — because, again, the stadium looks so, so much like a giant vagina. I cannot reaffirm this…

I absolutely see your point, but because I think she's making the situation out to be worse than it actually is, her language doesn't surprise me. 'Dirty', 'soiled' and 'stained' are all synonyms of one another 'round these parts (mid-atlantic).

Please see my responses here and here. The teacher never said they smell like shit. However I said that if they do then there is a problem.

Did you read the original article?

"Parent offers to diffuse the situation by soliciting donations for uniforms worn at BUILD, offering to wash dirty clothes and suggesting hygiene lesson plans were rebuffed by the teacher, said Denise Glenn, the school’s parent facilitator, who met with the teacher last Friday, the…

Soiled has various meanings and is commonly used (1,2) to describe clothing/laundry that is very dirty.

A child lacking in the hygiene department could absolutely be the victim of neglect or abuse, but if that is the case then I there are procedures and laws on how to properly handle the situation. Perhaps I misunderstood Doug's post, but it seemed to me that the teacher was complaining about several children. What are…

I have this nagging feeling that my old copy says "abridged" on the cover, but it's been a long time since I've pulled it off the shelf.

Ah, crap. Thanks!

If you don't like dealing with dirty children here's a tip: don't get a job teaching pre-k. Little kids can be grubby and messy. Suck it up and teach them the importance of hand washing and how to properly remove snot from their noses. No matter what they are kids and they will get dirty. As for stained clothing,…

Well, my work here is done. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks, I am aware that there is no "original" version. I said "abridged" because someone who isn't familiar with the novel might pass it over while mistakenly looking for the original. My fault for trying to quickly type my comment before heading out to lunch.

You have no soul (I'm kidding!). I think there are many reasons why the film is so popular. As others have mentioned it's a humorous, enjoyable movie that manages to be appropriate for all ages without insulting anyone's intelligence. A lot of "family" films are made for children but with a few jokes thrown in for the…

I'm pretty sure Bieber is promoting douche, not perfume.

+1000 for quoting Red Dwarf

Oops, I meant to say "hopping" not "hoping".
