Jolie posters 'glamorised guns' 
Two posters for an Angelina Jolie film have been criticised by advertising watchdogs for making guns attractive.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled the Wanted posters were not suitable to be seen by children.
It added that the use of a glamorous actress, gun images and aspirational text "could glamorise violence".

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead...

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go...
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die"

If it's the white man's racism that made him that way
'cause the bully is the victim they say
By some sense they're all the same

Wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind..."

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

- with a
lesson plan (Teachervision) :
"This lesson focuses on Billie Holiday's signature song,
"Strange Fruit," a protest song Lewis Allen (Abel
Meeropol) wrote in 1938 about the ongoing and intransigent
problem of lynching in the American South...
Working in small teams, students analyze a variety of primary
source materials related to lynching (news articles, letters
written to or written by prominent Americans, pamphlets, broadsides,
etc.) in order to assess the effectiveness of the anti-lynching
campaign spearheaded by African-Americans."

Did you see the robber ?
A robber walks into a bank and gets into the line to one of the tellers.
After a few minutes, he arrives at the teller window where he proceeds
to draw out a gun and demands to the teller to give him all the money
from her drawer...
After the teller gives him the money, he says to the teller that he
cannot have any witnesses and asks her :
"Did you see me rob this bank?"
The teller said :
"Yes, I did see you rob this bank!"'
At which point the man shoots the teller...
He then turns around to the man in line behind him and again asks
the same question...
"Did you see me rob this bank ?"
The man said to him :
"Yes, I did see you rob this bank!"
And again the man raises his gun and shoots the man in line...
He then turns to Les, the next man standing in the line, and asks
:
"Did you see me robbing this bank?"
Les looks at him and said :
"Heck no, I have never seen you before and I definitely didn't see
you robbing this bank.
But I gotta be honest with you ; my wife Joni here, saw everything......!"
