“Boobs are the Tits!” say kids everywhere.
Post-irony dementia has reared its head in Pennsylvania.
Bracelets branded I <3 Boobies were mass produced to raise awareness for breast cancer. It's just the wry twist necessary to capture the attention of American adults with pitiful attention spans. Plus, it's for a good cause. In the emo heyday, a popular scenester lost his wife to cancer and created a line of "Fuck Cancer" shirts that were incredibly popular, embraced by both artists and the kids.
The thing about I <3 Boobies is that 13 year olds a) actually really love boobies and b) refer to breasts as boobies non-ironically.
Two girls, Brianna Hawk and Kayla Martinez, brought the Boobie bracelets to school and were suspended. I’d imagine the principal was a Cruella DeVille character, not unlike the nuns who thrust their puritanical mindset upon me for 9 long years.
In the late 80s, slap bracelets were banned in my school. The unsavory characters in my neighborhood (the North Bronx) realized you could strip the bracelet part away, which left you with a very sharp piece of metal. This created an overflow of 99-cent knives. Has anyone else on the planet been robbed via bracelet? Or is just me?
In this instance, banning the bracelets was a good move. In the case of the Boobie bracelets, banning them was a misguided attempt to increase the prevalence of middle-class morality. Good thing the judge caught this—it sets a great precedent. School officials can certainly yell at kids, but they can’t legislate their taste.
