the world is absolutely unfair, and i blame “book it!” for that. that little girl in the youtube video is reading because she likes to spout gibberish, and that’s fine. if she wants to spout gibberish and needs an excuse, she has that freedom. after all, needing an excuse to spout gibberish is why most people read books.

but “book it!” sets a terrible precident. to draw a correlation between reading books and eating delicious, greasy pizza is simply an unfair thing to foist upon a child that loves delicious, greasy pizza. and i was that child. so i get older, i move out of the elementary school, and suddenly, i’m reading bullshit written by brain-dead puritans and what do i receive as my reward? yeah, a test on bullshit written by brain-dead puritans.

you’ve got a choice, schools. you can either keep giving out the pizzas every time a kid reads an inane, force-fed, “esteemed”ing piece of bullshit book, or you can shove those books into an orifice of your choice. here’s my honest plea: some of us will read, and some won’t. some will appreciate it, and some won’t. and regardless of your ungodly-stupid curriculum choices, some will continue reading throughout their lives. don’t belittle the towering childhood intellect with this patronizing pizza-pushing piss-shittle.

just as a note: holy shit, i loved “book it!” when i was a kid!
