Fox News - Calvin McHenry checked out a graphic novel from the Hebron Heights Elementary School library in Parkland, Fla., and found a story he did not expect to read. The book is called "Tank Girl One," a series about a pilot turned outlaw with a drinking problem who is often prone to violence and routinely finds herself in raunchy sexual situations. McHenry's mother, Michelle, described the images in the book saying: "There was guns to heads, girls with girls, alcohol, sexual things that are just really, really bad." The school board said the book arrived by mistake as part of a large shipment for the new library that contained over 7,000 books. The wrong book was even labeled with that title. The book originally ordered by the school is called "Tank Talbot, A Guide To Girls."
Back in my days of elementary and middle school this would have just cemented Calvin's claim to coolest kid in school all the way through the 8th grade. The first person to find a Playboy or come across a black market bootlegged VHS of Pam Anderson always had bragging rights, it was just a natural status symbol. Today? That's literally childs play.
I think the mom can calm down a bit. An adult graphic novel? Come on kid step your game up. Have you heard of the internet? Killing and kissing? Amateur hour, wait till this kid hears about Two Girls One Cup and Cake Farts. Just wait until you sign up for your first e-mail account, Calvin. Can't be long now, how young do kids get those these days? 4th, 5th Grade?
By the way, I don't think "Tank Talbot, A Guide to Girls" sounds any better. Don't know what the school board is trying to pull but I'm fairly certain that's a running series on Skinnemax.
