Speak Loudly

I don't know if you've heard about Wesley Scroggins, a professor at Missouri State University. He refers to the book, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (a book about the effects being raped had on a teenage girl), as soft pornography. He targets other books, too, but his arguments against Speak are the ones that have caused a stir. Rape is not porn, and the fact that he sees it as so, disgusts me and many others including Laurie Halse Anderson. What do you think about censorship?

Things to check out this week:
1. Top 100 Canadian Songs: A list for a book by Bob Mersereau, I am very mad that Randy Bachman topped the list because he's so cocky already and Neil Young.

2. What to do when your bored: I really couldn't think of anything.

3. One on One with Ronnie from Jersey Shore: A hilarious interview with Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I hate Jersey Shore but it's still funny.
