A 15-year-old in LA is trying his darnedest to create a cuss-free week in California, and eventually worldwide. This year, McKay Hatch will settle for Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors naming the first week of March “No Cussing Week,” which they’re set to do tomorrow. Hatch, a 10th grader at South Pasadena High School, started the No Cussing Club in seventh grade when he noticed his friends starting to swear, which his family forbids. As you may have guessed, poor Hatch gets a lot of sh… er, crap, for his goody-two-shoes behavior. According to the Associated Press, he’s “the target of organized harassment by pro-cussers.” We want to know whether Hatch will continue his club, which supposedly has more than 20,000 members, when puberty really sets in and he wants to get laid.

Lamest kid ever! Hope he didn’t do this in an attempt to make friends. I propose a “cussing week” that sound way easier and a ton more f#96$ fun!

Wow. I can admire ambition sometimes but trying to get all of California to stop swearing for a whole week?
Yeah, maybe next he can cure cancer with chocolate and teddy bears.

Ah, if only this kid had come up with this almost ten years ago before we became even more jaded he would have had a shot and a movie deal with Haley Joel Osment playing him, because that kid played all the little kids back then.
Seriously? Screw that, I love to cuss, I do not care if some 15 year old or a 90 year old for that matter thinks I’m offensive, I’m just making use of my entire vocabulary in order to express myself properly.

Seriously, they’re just words, some people have too much time on their hands…next week No Adjectives week and the week after that a ban on all abstract nouns. You have been warned…

Why? Is he trying to put this on his college resume or something? Plain dumb, and if I was his age and someone gave me this book I would go off on them ‘cussing’ included.
