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.
