Have a nominee for Asshole of the Week? Send it to us!
Normally, kids get a pass for doing asshole-ish things. Let's face it, kids are just immature, and 95% of them will knock off most of the really asshole behavior by the time they're adults. But some kids are just shamefully, hopelessly doomed to a life of being assholes. A couple such kids are the eighth-grade dipshits who beat up a mentally challenged, partially deaf, autistic 12-year-old, then posted the video clip of the attack on YouTube and the poor kid's MySpace page. These weasels don't stand a chance, and we expect they'll make their way through the correctional system sooner rather than later. And it gets more than a little under our skin that the attack occurred at a school named for Thurgood Marshall and the story broke on the week of Martin Luther King Day (although the incident happened back in December): two men who dedicated their lives to helping those who couldn't always defend themselves. So, this week's Assholes of the Week are those two kids, who have will have the added misfortune of probably being assholes for the rest of their lives.
It was actually a fairly un-asshole week, so there's only one runner up. Follow the jump to find out who.
School officials at Archbishop Ryan invited a public health nurse to speak to the students about sexually transmitted diseases and how to avoid them, but then put the kaybash on the program when they realized she was ::gasp:: talking about safe sex and not just abstinence. Because, you know, abstinence eduction works.
