absolutely not!!! perhaps only a very very minute percentage of unstable people who would be influenced by ANYTHING AT ALL. a well known study of serial rapists uncovered that a high number of them referred to the same Coppertone sun lotion commercial of a puppy nipping at a girls bikini. ban dogs from TV? someone kills their uncle ban Hamlet? Charge Lionel Richie for inciting people to dangerously dance upon the ceiling? James Ferman the UK film censor should be one of the most dangerous men alive following the kind of shady logic the moral majority spout. yes, a ratings system is necessary. yes parents should be responsible for what they allow children to see. but adults being driven to violence by movies...rubbish, absolute scaremongering scapegoat rubbish. 150 years ago Novels were perceived as dangerous to moral fibre, 100 years ago people blamed bicycles, 50 years ago it was Elvis and his 'jungle rhythms' the only consistent throughout is that people like to find something to blame other than bad parenting or that some people just have a natural propensity for violence

I have been waiting years for this. was hoping for a slightly more orange colour duck but I can compromise for the time being until the designers offer a wider colour variation

have you read any poetry? the best poems are those that depict the base emotions or moments of the sublime everyday people experience in their everyday lives. read some Ted Hughes. it's not all flowery depictions of romance, but if that's what you like, good for you, pick up some mills and boon
