She's a BYU student who received a Valentine's Day note from a young man asking her to not dress so provocatively. The cartoon accurately depicts the clothing she was wearing at the time.

I wondered why the cartoonist chose that particular outfit. Now I know.

If that dress is 'provocative', then they won't be satisfied until women are all wearing burkas.

Burkas are de rigueur, because men cannot be expected to keep their lascivious libidos in check!

and a not-so-subtle tie-in to the right-wing's stance on contraception and women's health rights.

Jeez... what was the whore thinking walking around in such provocative attire?

and should not be made into clothing. It will only get men riled up. All people should just wear baggy full-body suits in plain, drab colours.

We'll probably also have to blindfold them which means that they'll have to led around.

Their voices can also turn men on, so they shouldn't speak either.

Hey Todd, from the other side of the same team:

Like this particular godless heathen:




Or this godless heathen:


Or this godless heathen (Studmuffin of 20th century Physics #3):


Or yet another godless heathen(Studmuffin of 20th century Physics #2):


Or this deist heathen (Studmuffin of 20th Century Physics #1):


The lights are on and the brain cells are definitely working in these guys. How wondrous are Thy works yet they tempt me.....hmmm....must be the Devil....hmmm, but but but Gawd created them, didn't he????



There I go thinking again. Always gets me in trouble.

I went to a Presbyterian college where they didn't have stupid dress codes. The folks said their second choice, behind Trinity, would have been Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

But then my parents were horrified b /c I had cousins who went to Baylor in Wacko, Texas.
it's the biggest Babtist college in the world. Girls could not wear shorts or slacks on campus back in the 70s. Don't know what the rules are now.
