I say it again: Kansas is a State of Losers.

Apparently, now, some school in Kansas has banned the "Goth look."

Why? Because the look is "too distracting." Huh? Highschool students distractable? REALLY? Christ, I never would've thought it....

Here's the sick thing about the article:

" Principal Cherie Crain says black lipstick, eye shadow, nail polish and hair dye are banned, along with all-black clothing. Also on the list are such accessories as studded metal bracelets and graphic T-shirts advertising heavy metal bands."

OK...black lipstick, nail polish, clothing: check. Sounds pretty goth to me. But on the other hand: graphic t-shirts advertising heavy metal bands? Studded metal bracelets? These don't really sound like goth kids, they sound like fucking blockheaded death-metal kids.

"Crain says students dressing in the so-called Goth style have become a distraction -- and some younger students were intimidated."

Right. Goths are so intimidating, and goths/metalheads--its all the same to The Man.
