Lolita
February 1, 2008
It’s not a good idea to make bedroom furniture for young girls under the brandname ‘Lolita’, but this didn’t stop Woolworths from doing it. Check out the story on the Beeb. You can find a summary of Nabokov’s controversial novel on Wikipedia - for those who don’t know (like me until I looked it up on Wiki), it’s about a man who becomes sexually obsessed with a twelve year old girl, and commences an affair with her.
It reminds me of a story in the News of the World about a group of male school teachers who slept with their teenage pupils. I didn’t think the headline PAEDO MASTERS was appropriate, somehow.

So I was going to do some research and add an interesting/witty comment to your blog, but after a bit of searching I lost concentration and went to have a bath. Obviously I should have deleted the history because when I came back downstairs I heard my brother trying to convince my mum that is wasn’t him who typed in “paedophile stories”, “funny stories about paedophiles” and “young girls and old men”. Please let me choose a blog template!

Did you delete my comment?!

No, I have to approve them before they appear. Don’t you like my blog template? I admit that James’s is nicer, but I couldn’t have the same one as him, and I think that this was probably the best of the other templates available.
My logic essay is not going well. Why did I choose philosophy of logic?

I’m sure there are better templates than this…
Hope the essay is going better…
