How to upset your teachers

I guess some people would say that I'm going straight to hell for laughing at this little gem which is listed on the b3ta newsletter.

Apparently it was a science project from middle school "to show how the electric chair works and discuss basic electricity - currents and conductivity." It also "completely disgusted the entire female staff of Benton Middle."

I can't imagine why, I mean it just looks like a 12-volt battery connected to a plastic doll to me. Harmless educational fun surely?

Who made that? Not fir for purpose.

Long way underpowered to melt the doll round the edges, cause its hair to catch light, fill its nappy, still be half dead after 30 minutes and so on and so forth.

But brilliant in its way.

Maybe there is hope for our nation after all.

The electric chair is s-o-o-o passé. Lethal injection is cleaner and more comfortable and has the same result: Dead murderers.

Might I just point out that very few women in the US have ever been executed by the electric chair (or any other method), so the posing of a female doll in that bizarre prison outfit was one more sneaky little politically correct piece of socialist/one-worlder garbage.

Although, to be fair, she could have been being executed for crimes against fashion.

To be candid, the hair wasn't that great, either.

[Chris Paul, if a murderer who stole someone's life away from them - a theft for which there can never be any compensation - shits when they get executed, 1} Who gives a shit, so to speak? and 2} This person is being jolted to death by mega-electricity and they're thinking "Oh, gosh, I'm pooping my panties! How am I ever going to face going to the supermarket?"]

Please, Chris Paul, think your arguments through; there's a good chap. You post so much drivel you may soon be formally accused of oxygen theft.

Can't see the problem - just a bit of harmless fun. Well maybe not so harmless for the doll as it goes up in smoke but still ...
