Oh yeah, and too bad this kid's hobby is freaking dumb. And too bad his mom feels that a lawsuit is the answer.
Here's my question: if there's a different kid whose hobby is hunting-- should he be able to submit and have included in the yearbook a picture of himself brandishing guns and wearing a bandolier? Or what about standing atop a dead bear? Or chasing down a homeless (but crafty) Ice-T on a 4-wheeler?
Is it unfair to have rules governing the pictures that will be included in the yearbook? Nope.
Is it maybe a good idea to have those rules state that photos with weaponry are out of bounds? Yup.
Where's the controversy? I don't see it.
Why is this news? Look at that picture again. Yeah. I bet some editor at msnbc laughed as hard as I did at that D-bag's picture in chain mail and a sword.
So here it is, the first Christmas gift of the year.
