"This is my no-no square"

[Radically Rethinking]

Anyone who is from Texas knows that the purpose of Mississippi is to make Texas look better by producing even more idiotic news. Anything Texas can do, Mississippi can and will do worse.

Case in point: sex education. Not only is Mississippi the state with the highest teen birth rate in the country, check out what happened at this state-funded rally for abstinence (http://tfnblog.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/first-amendment-we-dont-observe-that-here/):

In May, the state of Mississippi threw a state-funded abstinence-only rally for students where they were told the value of not having sex until marriage (including a chant that went “Stop! Don’t touch me there! This is my no-no square!”). That in itself is legal, but not when the rally itself is from start to finish a blatant attempt at proselytizing students in Christianity.

A Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sexual-justice/god-and-abstinence_b_213462.html) article from June has even more details:

Before the summit began, rap music blasted over the speakers. The 5,000 kids in attendance spent their time inside dancing and singing along to Soulja Boy's hit song "Crank Dat," the chorus of which repeats "Watch me crank that soulja boy, then superman that ho," which most young people know is a disgustingly explicit sexual innuendo. Shortly after the Grenada Middle School cheerleaders performed their catchy cheer "Stop, don't touch me there! You know this is my no-no square," outlining the shape of a box around their short shorts. Talk about mixed messages.

There's currently a lawsuit over this, since it was funded by the state government. The Lieutenant Governor has this to say about it:

I was so disappointed that the ACLU has decided that we don’t need to tell young women in the state of Mississippi about our faith; we don’t need to explain to them that abstinence, we believe, is related to our faithful Christianity beliefs.

What, just the young women? Does he think the young men aren't interested in sex?

But seriously, "no-no square?" Who thinks this stuff up?

Is the boys' phrase 'Hey, Don't do me wrong, stay away from my no-no shlong'?

I wish to join this program. Are there any brochures? With pictures?

...uh... :boggled: reread the OP and pay attention to the words "Middle School."

I had to google to see how old these girls would be.

Okay....

And they let them dress in skimpy clothing, dance around and point to their vagina?

[Wolfman]

This certainly puts that whole SNL "Dick in a Box" music video in a different perspective...

[Earthborn]

Mississippi the state with the highest teen birth rate in the countryMississippians are born in their teens? :p

See why they might have a high rate of teen pregnancy?

[jhunter1163]

No no no no, you can't touch me down there
You know that is my no-no-no square
No thank you please, you cannot sneak a squeeze
You'll only tell your friends that I'm a whore

*humble apologies to Ringo Starr*

[shemp]

Mississippians are born in their teens? :p

Yes. They don't leave the womb until they've completed first grade.

[Piscivore]

Yes. They don't leave the womb until they've completed first grade.

So, thirty then?

Indeed, they also claim to be good, upright, christian types as well. This is pretty much standard procedure throughout the US, to be fair. You should see the fund raising carwashes during the summer. I can't imagine letting my daughters go stand on a corner in a bikini at 13 years old as an advertisement for a carwash, nor can I understand a school organization that would do this. I'd just give the organization $100 and be done with it.

I lived in Louisiana for a time, and they were constantly trying to say how great things were there by comparing their state to Mississippi. Yeah, #49 is so much better than #50 (#48 occasionally, if West Virginia was trying hard...)

Typical Christian hypocrisy and assignment of agency to the other, be it those "immoral" liberals, gays, feminists, secularists or what-have-you and even to God (or, of course, his foil: Satan). It's not them or their behavior or their outdated modes of thinking or their rampant ignorance or reality; it's always someone else acting as a corrupting influence or Satan tempting them or God challenging them and telling them how to act. These people are completely crippled by their total lack of knowledge about anything that exists beyond their narrow world-view.

I bet those girls saying, "don't touch my no-no square" (ugh! how childish and silly; par for the course for numb-skull theo-morons - all while booty-shaking to hip-hop!; how stupid/blind/foolish are these idiots?) are routinely getting their "no-no squares" more than touched, as clearly evidenced by their horrid teen birth rates. New Mexico isn't much better, I must admit. Our teen birth rate is among the highest in the nation. It doesn't have to be this way but the gap between modern life and what these jack-asses who make policy think "ought" to be is several miles wide. Remember kids: ideology over facts and rational thought!

[themusicteacher]

Mississippians are born in their teens? :p

Apparently; and they stay there forever: all full of bluster and outrageous self-assurance that they know everything but still confused and ashamed about their own (dirty) thoughts and feelings, worried about their changing bodies and scared to all bloody hell what their parents (and Jesus!) would think if they knew what was going on in their mind. The Deep South: where rationality, reason, the facts and, quite obviously, maturity go to die.

Congrats, Mississippi, you get an: Epic Fail!

And we've shaved off all the hair, Cos my Daddy likes it bare.”

Except that here I'd guess it's a slightly different influence: Catholicism + Booze.

[Vorticity]

Ew.

Let's hope not for a bunch of middle school kids.

[3bodyproblem]

But seriously, "no-no square?" Who thinks this stuff up?

Nothing rhymes with triangle.

edit: wait, dangle does...

[Ravenwood]

Phil Ochs was right when he penned the lyrics to "Here's to the State of Mississippi".
"Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of!..."

[Puppycow]

“Stop! Don’t touch me there! This is my no-no square!

:D

(I can't wait for some enterprising young hip-hop artist to turn the phrase on its head.)

[ponderingturtle]

That works

"Keep your dangle away from my No No Triangle" Now how to add in a line encouraging oral sex...

[Almo]

I really can't imagine who came up with this, and what they must have been thinking when they did. :(

[ponderingturtle]

I got it

"I want your spit in my No No Slit"

I'd rather have a yes yes circle.

Ah a fan on anal sex.

Yes these are the things we need to encourage in the junior high schools, that will keep down teen pregnancy after all if they limit themselves to non procreative sex. All this focus on procreative sex is making them limit their options.

[rjh01]

There are also problems with anal sex. Do it wrong and one partner is injured.

[3bodyproblem]

I really can't imagine who came up with this, and what they must have been thinking drinking when they did. :(

I remember in grade 8 when we took a field trip to Toronto. The principal arranged for us to have the cheapest hotels rooms we could get as close to the Royal Ontario Museum as possible.

Little did he know the front of this motel was also, what you would call a "cat walk" (ladies of the evening applied their trade out front)

So you've got a bunch of 12 year old boys hanging their heads out the window soliciting prostitutes while the principal is screaming out another to "Get to sleep now!" At the same time the crew out front is offering to "Tuck you in for a twenty, and yur daddy too"

We learned a lot more that weekend than anyone had ever intended. I think the following year they got courtyard rooms at the Marriott for like $150 per night. If memory serves we split a $20 room 4 ways at $5 a head.

The best laid intentions...

:D Good call! Then instead of all this rhyming and dancing, they could have a tagline that both educates and makes them feel like young adults...

My vote: "Your mouth can't get pregnant."

And in Norway, where we hand out condoms and free birth control pills to any school child who wants it, and explain exactly why they need it, even to kids as young as the ones in the OP, we have an almost non-existant teen birth rate :)

[Ryokan]

My vote: "Your mouth can't get pregnant."

"Go for the rear, save money on babysitters."

Sodomy keeps you child-free!

Actually, unprotected anal sex as a contraceptive method has a surprisingly high failure rate.

That is true of any kind of sex.

Remember just say no to oral sex with someone with a seizure disorder.

Why? Does their meds make it taste funny?

Well to be fair, they ARE children...
