T-Shirt of the Week.
Although I haven't been covering the Higher Power of Lucky controversy here, I have been following it.
If you (somehow) have missed it, Fuse has a great roundup of links here. Oh, and you won't want to miss Neil Gaiman's response.
In a nutshell, some people -- some librarians -- are objecting to the word "scrotum" on the first page of this year's Newbery winner.
All of this led to the recent article in the NYT that included this asinine statement:
Authors of children’s books sometimes sneak in a single touchy word or paragraph, leaving librarians to choose whether to ban an entire book over one offending phrase.
Darn those authors! They're trying to corrupt children with their sneaky ways!
Anyhoo. If you want a specific size, let me know -- the best way of going about it would probably be to email me with the word "scrotum" as a subject heading. I need to find a way of keeping requests straight. Actually, if you've already asked for a tee (regardless of slogan) and I haven't posted it yet, feel free to email the request to me again.
