Fourth-Graders' Button-Making-Machine Privileges Suspended Indefinitely
Here's a great little article from several years ago I just stumbled upon. From the Onion: Fourth-Graders' Button-Making-Machine Privileges Suspended Indefinitely.
Here's the best part: "The girls were doing a lot of buttons about stuff they liked, like The Backstreet Boys and horses," Chao said. "But then the boys started doing all these mean, funny ones, like 'Student Council Sucks' and 'Mr. Cecil Is Gay.' One boy made, like, 10 different buttons calling different people gay."
FYI: The article mentions the Badge-A-Minit button machine, which is substantially inferior to the Tecre machine we use here at Lollypins.
