All that talk last week about sex in high schools segues nicely into this next article about why you shouldn't let your kids wear those sex bracelets:
The game begins when a boy notices a girl wearing a bracelet. He then tries to break or snap it off her wrist. The game works the same when a boy wears the bracelet.
If successful, the person wearing the bracelet is supposed to perform a sexual act that's determined by the bracelet's color.
According to one Web site, black represents sex, green represents outdoor sex, orange represents a kiss, red represents a lap dance and clear is anything goes.
Aha, the rimjob bracelet. I'd like to see some punkass teenager try to redeem that one.
This all sounds similar to the old "beer label" bar trick, and I have my doubts that there's much to this. I'm also a parent, however, and so I must call for a swift an utter ban to the diabolical accessories. Also, no skirts higher than 3" above the knee, and potassium nitrate will be added to the water supply for all boys' locker room drinking fountains.
As for the preteens, keeping younger kids out of the loop (guffaw) regarding bracelets is probably a good idea, but I think most girls, should they find some guy pulling their jewelry off, would reward the guy with a swift kick in the ouchies rather than a BJ.
When will the Bush administration provide tax dollars to encourage kids to avoid shopping at Hot Topic?
>Still no word on that "pearl necklace" game
Hilarious. No wonder you are nominated
"I'm also a parent, however, and so I must call for a swift an utter ban to the diabolical accessories."
HAHA!!!!!
But...
"Gloria Thomas never thought much about the jelly bracelets..."
Jelly bracelets aren't that easy to break, so I think she should be more worried about boys breaking her daughter's wrists, than the bracelets actually getting broken. Unless jelly bracelets are different than when I was a kiddie-wink.
"I can't believe they're actually letting these kids wear these bracelets."
Um... it's not as if the bracelets are the problem. She makes it sound like they're letting kids wear condoms on their hands and underwear as a hat.
"The game begins when a boy notices a girl wearing a bracelet."
I think 'the game' is more likely to begin when a boy notices a girl isn't wearing underwear under her skirt in the stairwell.
"The jelly bracelet first appeared about 20 years ago when Madonna and other singers began wearing them."
Aha! I knew Madonna was to blame!
Anyway, if I was the mother cited in the article, I would be more worried about what her kid was doing writing in her notebook about the sex games, than what the school was doing about their dress code.
