WAUKESHA, Wis. -- The School District should remove copies of the Guinness World Records 2001 because of photos displaying women clad in what is described as the world's most valuable bikini and other pictures, an elementary school teacher says.

Culver has asked district officials to remove the books from the libraries of all 17 district elementary schools.

Waukesha? What, do they think they are Madistan?

Well, what value does a GWR book really bring? I mean at the end of the day its really a marketing gimmic by an Irish beer... it can be entertaining, but if its not in my kids grade school library I'm not going to get too upset.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Perhaps the Justice Department will share their guidelines?

[Pyro7480]

What can I say? These are PC thugs trying to force feed their "gender-neutral" view of morality on their students. There are better things you can protect your students from people!

[NC_Libertarian]

This sort of thing might promote heterosexuality.

Waukesha? What, do they think they are Madistan?

Good thing that she's not in Pennsylvania.....She'd be on a crusade to rename the towns of Intercourse and Blue Ball.....

When we were kids in school, we went straight for the National Geographic section. NAKED NATIVES!!

Oh my God! The boys will learn that women have (whisper now)...belly buttons. The downfall of Western Civilization will follow!

I remember checking out "Go Ask Alice" in middle school. Straight up porn in there. A picture of a girl in a bikini? Gee, have they ever turned on the TV?

[freeeee]

SO where are pics?????!!

Yes, I agree. How can we evaluate this controversy without seeing for ourselves what the fuss is all about?

The bicini pictures should be posted so we can make an informed opinion.

[Wright is right!]

How utterly imbecilic. Because of a couple of pages with a few pictures, they want the ENTIRE BOOK removed? Why not just "neutralize" the pages involved? I notice that no one suggested THAT. All they'd have to do is take some squares of black paper and glue them to the offending pages. Any attempt to remove the black paper would result in the image being destroyed.

Are these people all blithering asses?

I think this is it;

Well, it wasn't in the Guiness book but...

"When we were kids in school, we went straight for the National Geographic section. NAKED NATIVES!!"

And some had really HUGE tah-tah's at that.

I wonder though ... in what category are bikini clad wimmin in and what is the record of whatever that category is?

(Now where did I put that copy of "Candy"?)

I went to Catholic school, and there was a hysterical secret in one of the books. The book was about WWII and was published in the fifties. In it, there was a picture of a couple of US soldiers carrying some large artillary through the woods. And they were laughing their asses off for some reason. If you looked near the bottom of the picture you could see that one of them had his manhood dangling clear as day from his zipper.

That was definitely the funniest thing fourth graders could ever hope to find in a Catholic school library.

Given what it takes to have an entry in the book these days, it may have been showing the point of origin for the largest belly-button lint ball.

Bikini pics are nothing these days.

Does everyone know about the Versace ads in fashion magazines?

Starting about two months ago, Versace started doing full page ads of young people at the beach. In the first ads, some of the young men and women in the background were taking their clothes off, but still dressed.

In the second ad, last month, a couple of girls are topless. Just sitting around talking in bikini bottoms with bare breasts totally visible.

In the current ad, two or three young girls are topless, sitting around talking with their full breasts visible, and we see a full back nude -- I think it's a girl, but it could be a guy.

This appears to be a very wide-spread advertising campaign. I saw the initial ads in Elle, and the current most outrageous ad appears in this month's Bazaar.

I don't know what is stranger -- seeing the ads, or seeing absolutely no visible media response to teenage nudity in fashion magazines to sell clothing!
