Girl guideless

I remember when the Girl Guides used to waste their time doing all sorts of useless things like trying to build young girls' characters and teaching them practical skills. It's good to see that in this go-ahead age the Guides have finally got their priorities right and are demanding the the government censor "airbrushed" photos of celebrities by labeling them so that girls young women won't be damaged for life by being confronted by impossible to emulate examples of physical beauty.

I mean, what's the alternative? To tell the little perishers that vanity is a sin and that they shouldn't indulge in it? That's so judgmental. It's far better to treat them like livestock unable to control themselves and micromanage their lives while they shrivel up as responsible human beings.
