That is a thing that is happening.

See it's stories like that that make me afraid to use $2 bills whenever I come across them.

If you're white, the most you need to worry about is a confused teller and a quick Wikipedia search.

If you're not white, avoid them like the plague.

That and its Texas - threats and gun violence are how the police over there handle absolutely everything.

Nottinghamshire police to count wolf-whistling in street as a hate crime.

Another solid blow dealt to THE PATRIARCHY. Fight on, sisters!

[up] Is everything you post going to be Political Correctness Gone Mad complaints? Not saying that isn't a thing that exists - I've been on Tumblr for several years, so I've seen how far it can go at its worst - but I'm sure there are better threads to rant about this stuff than here.

That said, most of the articles you post are legitimately WTF-worthy (this one included), but it seems like you're more interested in making statements than anything else. Also I was going to go on to talk about the difference between legitimate compliments and street harassment, but somehow I doubt that would be appreciated.

[up][up][up] So you would consider "Woman who raped four children is actually very nice" a case of Political Correctness Gone Mad? :hmm

Certainly it's idiotic, but politically correct? I wouldn't say so. :hmm

[up][up] Forgot about that one. You're right, that one was just messed up.

[up] Wasn't planning to start an argument, but yes, I agree.

Some good news comes out of that headline, as the hastily-formed arrangement between the school in question and the police department insisting that the school must contact the police over any f*cking thing that happens has since been revoked and clarified.

The brownies incident isn't the first time the police have had to send officers to that school since demanding to be notified of any conflicts happening on its grounds. Just the funniest.
