An Ohio school district just banned the children's book It's Okay to Be a Unicorn after deciding that, well, unicorns and rainbows are just not age-appropriate for children. And neither is the theme of the book, which encourages kids to be themselves. The book about a cute unicorn pretending tobe a horse to fit in - is so highly offensive to district officials in the Buckeye Valley School District, near Columbus, that a principal told teachers to strip the school walls of any student artwork related to said indecent book. The book's detractors said it had "a subversive message" ... meaning "it's ok to be gay". Which it certainly is.
Disappointing gifts
1. "When I was about 11-12, it was my birthday and my uncle and his wife gave me sellotape. I mean, why? I would have rather had a tiny bar of chocolate or you know, nothing."
2. "Bookshelves, not the Cinderella Starcastle I was expecting!"
3. "One year my husband got me a DVD and when we opened it to watch there was no DVD in the case."
4. "A slimming world cookbook from my not-so-subtle mum. It was a hint. The year after she bought me a 'pilates for weight loss' set."
5. "A pizza cutter and a single oven glove. (You like pizza don't you?)"
6. "A box of handkerchiefs that were mouldy."
Unprepared for his fight
Netflix doubles down on thumbs up
Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons tell Netflix you like a series or film, and offers you similar programming in the future. But now the new Double Thumbs Up tells you're REALLY into something, that you LOVED it to bits. No word on the double Thumbs Down, which I would give Is It Cake?
