It beggars belief..................

I've not clicked, but as it's in the daily mail I'm sure it's very factual and not at all based on something completely out of context that either never happened or has been overblown to get everyone all riled up.

It was in the Mirror first! Not sure if what a magic one.

How about The Independent? http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/sleeping-beauty-ban-book-teacher-inappropriate-behaviour-a8071951.html

Meanwhile, the Girl Scouts has finally taken action to put a stop to the insidious cancer of older relatives getting hugs from girls: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/girl-scouts-parents-girls-don-owe-hugs-holidays-article-1.3651358

Hope the Boy Scouts will issue a similar directive: No kissing grandmother(s). A high-five is a much wiser expression of affectionate familial gratitude.

I thought by now they would have been called 'Neutral gender Scouts'

Oh dear, sorry I didn't quote the Morning Star or maybe the forever grammatically correct Graudian that never lies.

How about the BBC report on the same subject? http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/348b95fd-81d6-46d4-827e-73c727b8ceb6 The BBC report was written by an imbecile because it contains the following sentence:
"In the UK, the second volume of Herge's Tintin in the Congo was removed from the children's sections in bookstores, with Waterstones moving the book to the adult graphic novels section."
What? The second volume of Tintin in the Congo? There have been numerous editions of Tintin in the Congo, but there has never been a second volume of Tintin in the Congo.
Tintin in the Congo is the second volume in the Tintin series.
Why does the BBC hire morons? Lukas Gerve, if you ever google your own name and find this, please fix your dumb error. It makes the BBC look like crap. Or if the guilty party was a sub-editor, give them a good politically correct kick up the arse. Thanks.

I read an online story this week about different theories of why Kevin was left at home in Home Alone and some people believed he was left behind on purpose by his dad hoping Kevin would hurt himself or be murdered by burglars. These are probably the same people who don't think the moon landings ever happened or that 9/11 was an inside job. They really should find a hobby.

At least he didn't rape her as she slept.

This is all bloody stupid Yank stuff.

I don't think many blokes of my age are huggers or even tactile with anyone except their partners.

I don't give a f**k about Black Friday. Prices doubled with the Euro, they doubled again, and have been doubling every billisecond since; now you say I can save 0.000074569 p on a piece of cheese and think I'll get a boner? F**k you.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all, can't wait til I takes Mary-Ellen to the prom. Ma an Pa have promised me a purty li'l ol Smith and Wesson if I make the college football team. Yee haw!!!!!!

You're a day late, Thanksgiving was Thursday. Also, since you would appear to be a high school student, you are likely under the age of 18 and legally forbidden to own a handgun. You might want to think about a nice rifle instead.

Contradiction there methinks. Whistling nnocently

Apologies sir yes sir
