    So how would they handle the movie "Footloose?" It isn't an R movie, but it kinda seems like a bad idea to show it there.

    If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

    I can top that... "The Invention of Lying" (2009) Synopsis: Alternate reality where everyone tells the truth, and there's no such thing as "lies"... Man figures out how to lie. Invents religion. Suddenly becomes a messiah. Chaos and hilarity ensue.

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

      It's not an "abbreviation"... It's an "abreviation"... Obviously, these students are trying to gain a folowing. They want to get rid of al of these pointles double leters. I mean, isn't one leter just as god as two? It's not like it changes the meaning of the words or anything sily like that. I'm trying to think of funy things to say that would completely lose their meaning with the double leters removed, but honestly, my brain just can't proces data properly on a Monday morning.

        I'm not trying to be mean to the kid, ok? But you'd think that after 4 years of college, she'd be able to spell............... "College."

        Well, if you will search for 'colege co-eds' what else can you expect?

              I think the joke's on you. I've seen that check box with "Colege" or "Univercity" or other misspellings above it a number of times before. It's meant to get a reaction. Cheers, Drew.

                      The page has been updated and the "colege" pic removed. Ok, WHO TOLD?!?!? :laugh: I'll leave the screen capture up just in case anyone wants to see. Admittedly, this is one of those "nothing else to do" type things.

                            I'm going to vote with the others - this was definitely tongue-in-cheek. "Bad speelers of the worald, untie!"

                              I rather hope it was, too. But it was still too good to pass up. Heck, we had a little fun with it right? :)
