The Menifee Union School District in California recently pulled all copies of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary from their shelves and is investigating what they consider “age-inappropriate” words. The controversy began when a student thumbing through ”oralism” and “orang” in the dictionary, found the recent entry “oral sex“. A parent complained to the school district after the child read the definition: “oral stimulation of the genitals.” (And how).
The school district is now forming a committee composed of principals, teachers and parents to determine whether the 470,000 entries are suitable for children. Free speech advocates (and sane people), worry that this is “needless and harmful censorship”. Seriously, why don’t you take a look at the Bible and let me know if the stories of rape, pillage, murder and the like are suitable for children? Or for that matter, check out one of any classically gruesome Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales.
The Executive Director of the California First Amendment Coalition stated, “If a public school were to remove every book because it contains one word deemed objectionable to some parent, then there would be no books at all in our public libraries. I think common sense seems to be lacking in this school.” Obvi. The school district might settle for trading the collegiate editions for Merriam-Webster’s Children’s Dictionary. (I’m sure the pictures are lovely.)

A woman was arrested for disorderly intoxication on Saturday following her public spectacle at a bowling alley in Golden Gate. The 22 year-old exposed her while in handcuffs (my kind of girl) according to the police report. She yelled that she was offering a free peep show, a deputy wrote.
The woman was arrested the bowling alley’s bar, where she had been stirring trouble earlier that night, reportedly striking a husband and wife with her vehicle in the parking lot, swearing at them and asking if they wanted to fight. She then went into the bowling alleys restroom and began punching walls.
After her arrest, the woman was placed in the back of a police car and began banging her head into the partition. Her belligerence continued through her booking, when staff had to place a spit mask over her head (often used for llamas).
Man Arrested 4 Naked Game of Ring & Run
Who hasn’t played the beloved childhood game of Ring & Run, aka Ding, Dong, Ditch? You walk up stealthily to some unsuspecting door, ring the bell impishly and run like hell! A man from San Mateo, CA decided to take the Ring and Run challenge to the next level, upping the stakes by playing the age-old game in his birthday suit.
The 38-year-old man was arrested early Saturday after allegedly ringing neighbors’ doorbells naked. Authorities responding to complaints were led on a chase for nearly seven miles before the man stopped his pickup truck on an on-ramp to a local highway. He then exited the car and ran into an occupied house by kicking in a door, finally trying to hide behind nearby trees and shrubs (and failing).
The man was ultimately arrested on suspicion of a DUI (shocker), evading a police officer, driving with a suspended license, indecent exposure, entering a house without permission, vandalism, resisting arrest, and a partridge in a pear tree.
If you don’t like women who wear make up at the gym, you’re gonna hate this b*tch. A Californian man wearing a bustier and watching porn on a computer in his apartment complex gym was arrested; but only after officers found drugs in his backpack. The sergeant on duty says the 45-year-old from Tustin, CA, was arrested Tuesday after a security guard in his building noticed him in a workout room that should have been locked.
Upon further investigation, police discovered the man in his bustier, plus a miniskirt, fishnet stockings and heels, hiding behind exercise equipment and watching an adult film on his laptop. After searching him, police arrested the man for drug possession after finding marijuana, methamphetamine and paraphernalia in his bag. Seriously, who works out in a bustier, miniskirt, fishnets, and heels??? The world may never know, since the man refused to comment following the arrest.
