Oral Sex Banned from School…Dictionaries

Thanks to the Friggin Loon for the heads up on this story. It seems a California School has decided to yank the dictionaries out of a K-8 school because they found out that the definition of the word “oral sex” was contained within. Oh my!!!!

Actually I remember as a kid skimming through the dictionary with my friends to find the most offensive words we could. And good or bad, these days kids are far less naive than we were. Parents don’t control what their kids watch or see on the internet. And trust me, even if 99% of them did, a kid will befriend the one kid in town whose parents don’t.

And before you ask…no I didn’t do internet porn research. I don’t even know if BigBoobieGirls.com is a real website. Someone whose other half isn’t staring intently over their shoulder as they post this particular cartoon might want to check and report back.

Speaking of being naive…I can remember in 7th grade a girl in my class coming up and asking me “are you a virgin?”. To which I replied…”NO! I am a Cancer!!!”

At Hope Kids – Editorial Cartoon

It used to be that kids without money were “poor”, then they became “disadvantaged” and then most recently “at-risk”. Well now a well intentioned state senator from California wants to call them “at hope” kids. “Democratic State Sen. Rosa Franklin says negative labels are hurting kids’ chances for success…”

Now I get the intent and I am all for raising the self esteem of all kids, especially those who aren’t born with the same advantages as others. However, I think this label does nothing more than to sugar coat the problems. Kids are NOT considered “at-risk” so they have a descriptor of themselves. They are “at-risk” as a wake up call for the rest of us to get involved to make sure they continue down the right path and get the tools they need to be successful. Changing the name IMO to “at hope” doesn’t change anything but make some people feel good about their word choices.

Avatar and Sci Fi Conventions

My first encounter with anything close to a Sci Fi Convention was when I worked at a movie theater and we were doing a Star Trek marathon of the first four movies back to back. People were dressed as Klingons, as Kirk, as spock and as other random characters. However the one that made me actually laugh out loud was the 4 foot 10 inch woman dressed like a tribble.

Now with Avatar taking the world by storm will it also take over Comic-Con and other Sci Fi conventions? I am foreseeing alot of blue body paint being sold this year and some of the models won’t be so pretty.

Bearman Cartoon: Cold Case

So you might notice some changes around here. First I redid the Bearman Cartoons logo. Not entirely happy with it but I am still tweaking.

The second came from a comment on Reddit from someone calling himself GodShapedBullet. He said “I think the comics might be funnier if you lead with them. Nothing ruins a joke like explaining it.” Since most of my stuff was topical and you all probably haven’t heard about the situation, I had been putting the cartoon last. But he had a point so going forward I’ll try to put the cartoon first.

George Ford gave me the idea for this cartoon. He came up with it but never could figure out how to make it fit with the story lines he had going. Now why he gave it to me I dont’ know because it isn’t topical humor. But I had fun with it. Arctic Blast and EQ Comics have strips about crazy Frosty’s right now.

I think the most prolific snowman cartoons come from Tundra cartoonist Chad Carpenter. I thought for sure he would have done this idea and spent 20 minutes going through his archive. Now he may have done it but I couldn’t find it.

Editorial Cartoon Caption Contest
Personally I dont know which group irritates me more during the holidays. The first group are those that force their employees to say Happy Holidays instead of leaving it up to the individual to say Happy Holidays, Merry Chistmas, or even Good Solstice. The second group are those who call for boycotting retailers who decide to use Happy Holidays in their advertising instead of Merry Christmas.

Surprisingly the PC police haven’t caught onto the fact that the word Holiday stems from Holy Day. I had many different things running through my head as to what to put on the sign the guy on the right is holding. Then I figured I have some talented readers so I thought I would do a…

CAPTION CONTEST

Rules:
- In the comments section indicate the word(s) you think should go on the sign
- If you have a website make sure to include it in your signature or in the comment itself
- Next week I will post my favorites and have my readers vote on the best one.
- If I get 10 people to comment in the next week who have not commented on the site in the last 30 days, I will give the winner their choice of a Tote Bag/t-shirt from WackSack.com or a signed copy of the finished artwork (and yes, I’ll pay shipping to you Aussies)

Bearman Cartoon: Brian Kelly to Notre Dame

So it looks as if University of Cincinnati Football Coach Brian Kelly is off to Notre Dame to be the head coach there. For my overseas friends, that is American Football not Soccer.

University of Cincinnati Football fans are in an uproar both at him leaving and what they consider his “lies” along the way. I am sure if he told his players he was considering leaving that would have been great motivation going into the Pitt game. I say quit complaining. If you were a 2-10 team, no one would care that he is leaving. If not for him you wouldn’t be playing in a BCS bowl in the first place, so enjoy it.

Oh yeah and he will probably double his salary too…so who can blame him for that move either?

Bearman Cartoon: Obama bows to Emperor
It seems the masses are all in an uproar about President Barack Obama bowing a greeting to Japanese Emperor Akihito. So I have gathered the top 5 reasons Obama did this so you people can get over it. The last reason is todays editorial cartoon.
1. He is so tall and Akihito so short, that he HAD to bend down to reach Akihito’s hand.
2. He got confused by the famous international etiquette book Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands that he tried to do all three at once.
3. He made the Emperor feel superior on purpose. How many of you wouldn’t grovel to someone you want to lend money to you or invest in your business(es)?
4. Friday’s basketball game with the White House motor pool caused his back to go out.
AND NUMBER 5….
