Re: state of the world..
Posted by Lauren on 12/14/07

    This is both funny and sad. It is funny because kids really
    can just be air-headed at times. However, it does go to
    show that society as a whole does not emphasize the
    importance of current events in global, political, and
    national news. Instead, people usually pay more attention
    to things like Hollywood, fashion trends, and scandal.

    On 12/06/07, you can decide if this is funny or sad :)
