Why would a bunny wedding be upsetting, you ask? Well, one bunny had black fur and the other one was white,which is as a ridiculous objection as the one for And Tango Makes Three(gay penguins,it's nature,people!).<br /><br /> I do agree that any Book of the Dead,whether you find it in a cabin in the woods or under a hidden city next to a mummy,is better off left untouched:)lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994370.post-32564026086777611412013-09-23T19:37:49.379-04:002013-09-23T19:37:49.379-04:00Nice post!

I still recall my sophomore year high school English class in which two of the school staff described buying The Catcher in the Rye in the same way people get porn mags at newsstands. <br /><br />I also recall being incensed at hearing that some 1980's American parents were objecting to Little Red Riding Hood on the grounds that an underage girl is made to carry - not drink - wine for her grandma.<br /><br />And, of course, you have attempted Harry Potter bans on the ludicrous grounds that it "promotes witchcraft" (someone's been reading the Old Testament too much, me thinks) as well as "ignoring authority figures."<br /><br />No matter what, people who are scared by the contents of books are uneducated jackasses and serve little purpose other than to retard social progress. Unless it's the book from The Evil Dead 1 & 2, but that's just common sense...Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.com
