MISERABLE PURITANS STRIKE AGAIN
The Bystander could be accused of being obsessed with the notion of puritanical behavior and its dulling effect on the world's Happiness Quotient, but when new stories come to light on a daily basis about "someone" being "offended" and wanting to "save us" from the same offense, we remain unapologetic in our crusade.

In a recent report in the UK's Sun tabloid, English teacher, Sarah Green, has been suspended from her job at Stockport Grammar school for her role as an actress prior to her current employment. It seems that one of her students discovered his teacher online in an ad for Scruffs Hardware where she simulates - in a relatively non-graphic way - having sex with a workman.



The ad was never shown on TV but was sent out to construction firms. In fact, in 2005, it won two prizes at the world's top advertising awards in Cannes. However, such prestigious awards have little weight with the busybodies of Stockport who want Ms. Green sacked.

Never one to pass up the opportunity to show the Truth, clicking on the image to the right will take you to the now heavily trafficked video. The visits are heading to the million mark and Sarah is unfortunately destined to become the accidental celebrity of the month.

Here are some of the comments from parents of "children" at the school: And I say that loosely because it is the same "children" who are scouring the Internet for the video and, without doubt, are regularly scouring for much harder stuff:

"It is absolutely awful, morally," said one, "especially given the type of school she teaches in. It will kill her."

Another added: "It appears her character is possibly not best suited to such a highly regarded school.

"It is possibly not suitable for this person to be teaching young, impressionable students."

The comment toward "young,impressionable students is a joke. Any adolescent boy frequently fantasizes about his hot teachers, knows damn well how to download enough porn to fill a hard drive, and passed the "impressionable" stage long before mommy and daddy discovered the porn stash in his bedroom.

Yes of course Ms. Green's career is over. That's a tragedy. But the condemnation of her moral character is far more tragic, and even more likely to be hypocritical if it's from dads who are quick to condemn but at the same time think nothing of spending time at hotforteacher.com and bigwobblers.net
