I think their first dance will be to "Hot for Teacher":silly:

1. I'll get her a GameBoy.

:evilgrin:

2. They have a registry??!

That's ballsy.

[LoZoccolo]

3. That's smart.

I wonder how many things will come from complete strangers.

[Left Is Write]

4. Probably quite a few.

I still think it's ballsy.

5. You'd think Macy's would worry about the bad publicity

The media could demolish them. How did you happen to come upon this?

[Left Is Write]

6. Apparently they haven't gotten any bad publicity.

They'll make money from the registry. Evidently the Wedding Channel makes money. Mary Kay and Vili get all kinds of nice expensive new stuff to play house with. The voyeurs get to "participate" in the wedding. And everybody's happy.

11. this is old

I read about it months ago

7. can you imagine if a male ex-teacher had done the exact same thing

with his ex-female student bride-to-be ? They'd be hunting him down like a dog and killing him, and then dragging his body behind an SUV like they did in Fallujah.

8. she did go to jail

twice. but I agree the double standard is entirely inappropriate. There was a long thread in the lounge on this very question today.

[steve2470]

10. Yes. I do agree that teachers need to stay away from their

students, no matter what. It kind of appalls me that she has been treated so "kindly" by the corporate media. Yes, she went to jail twice. However, the men would have done the jail time and been hunted down like a dog. Any sex offender with an ounce of sense goes to live in the woods somewhere and never goes near another kid in his life. No matter what. There are plenty of people here where I live that would just love to kill the sex offenders, given the slightest chance.

9. Leave it alone.

If we have to leave Chuck, and the mistress that wouldn't let go when the others dropped off, alone, I say let this go. Stupid, waste of money, and 1500 kids are still dead in the oil wars. Maybe I should take my bitterness to GD-P. Sorry.
edit for bad punctuation.

12. or "School's Out."
