But the winners get the best seats in the CANTEEN!
Urgh.
Seriously, that can’t be legal can it?

Did you read the comments at the Metro? There were several male names cheering it on, wishing to be teachers at that school.

Don’t have any words for wrongness on that scale.

The Metro reported this because…

….it involves naked female bodies.

The article telling us GWB doesn’t want to sign the hate crimes bill –because it covers women and gay people– makes me even sicker.
That’s the article I thought you were linking to as it comes up first in the snap window. I sure was baffled by the comment thread! I get it now though.
Training them young, I guess.

I know Gayle – the F Word link is wierd.
The GWB post came after I wrote this one.
We need a revolution, yes?
Gayle // May 5, 2007 at 12:56 am |
Yes, we do!

Oh but I’m sure the young women feel very empowered by the contest. Shaking one’s moneymaker is the best way to get ahead, might as well start young. Anyone who says otherwise is just jelllus.
Ahem. Is my bitterness showing? This is so fucking wrong on so many levels I don’t know where to begin.
Pippa // May 5, 2007 at 4:13 pm |
There are boys involved too. It’s a very disturbing concept and I can’t understand why it’s legal.
delphyne // May 5, 2007 at 6:59 pm |
That’s child abuse. Teachers are in loco parentis – those involved need to be sacked and prosecuted, starting with the perv headmaster.
sparklematrix // May 5, 2007 at 8:23 pm |
delphyne that’s just what I came on here to say – it took a while to click with me.
It’s child abuse.
simplywondered // May 5, 2007 at 11:13 pm |
it’s a spoof like the shaved sheep/poodles.
please…

fucking argh

I wish it was SW.

It sounds from this that the Metro misreported it -
http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/56650.html
It wasn’t an annual Sixth Form Strip but rather a show where the pupils put on different acts. Still, what the hell were teachers thinking of allowing it to go that far? Why didn’t they stop it *before* the girls took their clothes off?
Arantxa // May 6, 2007 at 8:19 pm |
Question still remains: why did Metro report this and why did they report it in this way? What’s more: where did a group of underage girls get the idea that it was acceptable, even desirable (the object being to win a prize), to strip in front of a group of adults and where did the idea come from that recording and publishing images – without permission – of underage girls stripping was acceptable?
