Fuck you, Rich. This teacher isn’t funny, she isn’t cool, and she absolutely should be disciplined.

After watching An Open Secret, I definitely got the impression that Bryan Singer was just one of many, many pedophile ringleaders in Hollywood. It was depressing and scary.

I think you’ve discovered the real reason he doesn’t want to release his medical records.

I’m assuming he couldn’t “easily” do that or he would have. It’s no one’s first choice to pay $450/mth for a crawl space.

So this is Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest parody character, right? Right??

During how many of those wedding ceremonies were you running for President of the United States? None of them? Okay got it.

From my favourite parody site:

I know it’s tempting to mock this case, but whatever, the kid has a good point.

You know by “for two nations” she meant USA and Canada, right? Because Sam Bee is Canadian. But I’m sure she’d visit you in England (I’m assuming). :)

Here we call it a Champagne Birthday, so people who have theirs when they’re too young to drink champagne are really, really bummed.

Oh my gosh, does she ever look like Laura Benanti!

HA! She also reminds me of Amanda Donohue in The Lair of the White Worm (aka the greatest movie of all time)

Thank-you for introducing me to this...and to this YouTube remix:

THAT’S your real issue? Internet comment boards must be your favourite places then.

Finally! A comment that adds to the discussion and provides much need context for us non-Aussies! I was starting to lose hope based on some of the above comments.

Two things: The fact that you don’t see moms stocking up at SEARS for back-to-school should be no surprise to anyone who’s been to Sears. It’s not exactly the one-stop-shop for low prices that it might once have (thought itself to have) been.

Hooray for Staples! I don’t know if they all do it, but the Staples nearest me keeps a database handy of all the back-to-school supply lists sent out by the teachers in each school in the district. It’s great if you’re a disorganized mom like me and you lost that list almost as soon as you got it, because you can just…

Thanks for the recommendation. I was saying, “Me too!” to myself while reading everything you just wrote, so I’ll probably like Hush too.

I think the “worst” is really overstating it here. I disagreed with her stance on lots of things and I don’t consider her to be the model of selfless perfection like she’s heralded as, but... the “worst”? No, that’s ridiculous. Let’s stop saying the worst to mean things that aren’t even that bad comparatively.

No problem! I’ve been a daycare worker in Nova Scotia and Ontario, and had several other jobs working with children, so I know all about the Child Abuse Registry b/c I have to sign permission for my employer to check it (and get it notarized) every time I start a new job or even volunteer at my kid’s school.
