• Students in New Rochelle School High School (yes, that’s its real name) have assignment to compare movie and book Girl, Interrupted.  School board officials have had naughty bits pages ripped out of book because they are inappropriate for children (via boingboing)
  

  Pages from the middle of the book have been torn out by the school district after having been deemed inappropriate by school officials due to sexual content and strong language. Removed is a scene where the rebellious Lisa (played by Angela Jolie in the movie) encourages Susanna (played by Winona Ryder) to circumvent hospital rules against sexual intercourse by engaging in oral sex instead.

  The material was of a sexual nature that we deemed inappropriate for teachers to present to their students, said English Department Chariperson Leslie Altschul, since the book has other redeeming features, we took the liberty of bowdlerizing.

• Boingboing says this is probably bogus, but it’s funny if true - girl accidentally texts father after her first time
  

  OMG! Just had 1st time on beach! Gr8! Wish u were here!

• PR rep responds in ‘bat-shit-crazy’ mode after webmaster requests removal from product news email list, citing it as ”nearly spam” to him
  

  Furthermore, do not make any threats to my company.

• Probably only the gaming geeks will see much stupidity in this, but apparently GameStop is leaving used game boxes out with manuals and CD keys in the boxes.  That’s retarded in many ways, especially since they go through and remove the CDs, which are probably the least valuable part of most game boxes
