TICONDEROGA, N.Y., Dec. 11— A company has recalled a batch of pencils after a fourth-grade student pointed out an embarrassing message that appeared after he sharpened his pencil.

The pencils carry the slogan ''Too Cool to Do Drugs.'' But the student noticed that when the pencils are sharpened and get shorter, the message becomes ''Cool to Do Drugs,'' then simply ''Do Drugs.''

As a result of the discovery by Kodi Mosier, a 10-year-old student at Ticonderoga Elementary School, the company, the Bureau for At-Risk Youth, based in Plainview, N.Y., recalled the pencils.

''We're actually a little embarrassed that we didn't notice that sooner,'' Darlene Clair, a spokeswoman, told The Plattsburgh Press-Republican.

A new batch of pencils will have the message written in the opposite direction, so when they are sharpened, they will read ''Too Cool To Do'' and finally ''Too Cool

Said it before but people who get genuinely angry, upset etc on the internet pleases me. Just read a comments section on a news article to get an insight. You'll see a couple of people engaging in full on debate and it just makes me laugh.
If I was start a post saying that I think Fraser Gehrig was the greatest full forward ever I could guarantee there'd be people falling over themselves to express how wrong I am in detail. They'd then probably post it to social media and spend 3 hours of their day talking about it.

Might be a touch hypocritical but I wonder how much of life people waste on the internet, not learning, just killing time.
 
He obviously had sex with his pig.

Edit: Lol as if delete the post with the image and not this comment. Peternorth did not have sex with a pig. (Well. I hope thats the case anyway.)

> I have one of those selling pages on my FB like for example "Fakeville buy/sell/swap" so random things that people are selling come up on my newsfeed
> There's this chick selling her old clothes it looks like. DP is her wearing not much so naturally I go to her profile for a gander
> She looks like a standard 15-19yo bogan skank that gets 200 likes on pics of her 3/4 naked etc etc. She must have about 1000+ "friends" to get those like including accepting those people who don't actually know her
> So I'm reading the comments and this pops up. Looks like some random Indian guy isn't too happy with the way she looks and takes umbrage to her friends and wk's telling him off for his comments

To be fair to Beyonce, Single Ladies was just an incredibly powerful song. Sisters represent.



To be fair to Beyoncé, Kanye is a campaigner who, if he's not careful, will give her a bad name.
