Just didn't like some stuff

9.0

"Superb"

By VGFreak8, May 18, 2008

Justin thinks he is obsessed with sex. He has been drawing suggestive pictures of women since he was 14. Franny gets involved with banning smutty books with a radical moral officer, Sandy. Gary makes Justin feel better by saying it's normal. Raja gets a hold of them and gets obsessed as well. Dooley takes them and starts to sell copies throughout school. Claire doesn't want to read for school, so she gets her book banned, even though it's clean. Franny realizes how far they've gone with this book banning idea.

This episode was good! I didn't like the pictures they showed, but I guess it was necessary. It's a good, but untouched topic in most shows, so I'm glad they adressed it. This episode gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me!moreless

- When Franny goes through the books to sort the raunchy ones out, she mentions one book "Story of ..." and says "Ooh, I think we should give that book away". The book is probably "Story of O" which contains themes of dominance and submission and is likely banned from schools.
