[Glendora Christianson]

Our Sunday school teacher alerted me to this phenomenon. After just a little use, most crayons start taking on the shape of a male's choo choo! I'm not sure that I want my son Skeeter to play with little rainbow colored choo choos! Why can't they make Crayons square so that this doesn't happen? Your Thoughts?

[Jenni111]

I don't think people recognize them as anything but coloring utensils.

They're pointy just like pens/pencils are. Even if they're square, they will eventually elevate to the shape they are now from use.

[Buford T Scoggins]

Even worse, Sister Glendora, is now that Obama is president, they are marketing negro-sized crayons:



This is a real danger to our children. The only way to deal with this problem is to chop it off at the source:



Yours in Christ,
Brother Buford

I remember when there was the crayon color "flesh". I imagine it was very useful for coloring the skin of white people, but, of course, people whose skin color didn't coincide with the flesh crayon caused an uproar and the company changed the name.

I think crayons should have some sort of toxic, yet non-lethal, material in them so kids will learn their lesson if they eat them. This might steer them away from other phallic shaped things, like hot dogs and brats.

What's next that the PC activists are going to do? Change black crayons to say "African-American"? Brown crayons going to say "Non-white Hispanic/Latino"?

This is a good point. I don't see what the big brouhaha is over poisonous toys or lead-based paint on toys. If it keeps toys cheap, we should be allowed to buy them. Parents shouldn't have to buy more expensive toys that comply with safety regulations. Just tell Junior not to put them in his mouth, and if he does, and has to be rushed to the intensive care unit...it's a lesson learned!

I also think we should get rid of pink and purple and overly bright crayons. This encourages children to start homosexual art at a young age. We need drab, dull colors so kids don't get tempted by "creativity".

[Professor Tyeisha X]

Actually, believe it or not, I don't think black crayons should be changed to "African-American". African-American is a superior race of humanity, not a crayon color.

I do take an issue with one facet of the black crayon. I have noticed that Crayola has decided to cater to the Hispanic populace by making all crayons bilingual. This is a good thing. Everything in America should be bilingual so we can overcome the English-speaking hegemony that plagues America and keep our racial consciousness from being awakened. It is my understanding that black crayons are printed as "black" and underneath, "negro". I know that negro is the Spanish word for black, but it is also a racist anachronism that defeats the civil rights progress of African-Americans. School children are learning that "negro" is an acceptable word and it instills in them the tendency to commit hate crimes later in life.

I believe Crayola should change the Spanish word for black to something like the Spanish equivalent of "extremely dark" to change the consciousness of impressionable youth and catapult our civil rights movement into the 21st century.

[Oakland "Reb" Griner]

I figured Professor Tyeisha X would be demanding Lesbean shaped crayons to subvert male patriarchy or something . . .

[godsdrummer]

The Spanish word for dark/black or anything like that is negro or negra (forced to take Spanish in high school) AND if its pronounced like it is SUPPOSED to in Spanish is sounds NOTHING like how us red blooded Americans say "Negro".

Well what does a descendant of Ham like you know about anything?
If you a black, then your very genes are cursed! How could someone be a "superior race of humanity" if they are cursed?!

Beavers helped build Canada!


Fur trading used to be a major industry in Canada, and beaver furs were the most valuable of all the furs.

It led the biggest fur trading business; Hudson Bay Company, to eventually become one of the largest banks in Canada today: "HSBC"

What beaver fur? You monsters!






Ha! Got ya! You though I was an eco-terrorist there didn't you!

Seriously speaking, it is nice to see that Canada had some balls and skinned those beavers for their fur! Do they still do this?

That would explain the quality of the "architecture".

What does all this discussion of the joys of Canadian beaver have to do with the appalling design of perverse, pedophilia-encouraging crayons?

I was thinking about that as well.

Back on topic, I hope these homers stop influencing our children!

Crayons are the work of Satan. Or is it that you in fact are a paedophile who sees everything in life to be a falus because you like to stroke the Pony?

[Levi Jones]

I would like to see us melt down all the Crayons in the children's wing into something like this, but less faggy. Maybe we can mix all the colors together and create a sort of gray.

Pardon me for saying this Brother, but that sounds about as fun as an old school marm.

I vote for Biblical inspired colors.

Slain-Savior Sanguine
Canaanite Nigra Black

Those two colors alone would suffice for a real work of art

Happily there is a competition with a lovely prize and still room for contributions, supported by Scripture please, HERE

[Allelujah May]

Really, how can our children properly Praise The Lord with evil instruments?
