SERIOUSLY, HOW DID THAT REPORTER SAY POOPIE & WEINERS SO MANY TIMES WITHOUT LAUGHING ?? To me, and i'm sure everyone else in the class, this isnt news. But to someone, somewhere, i'm sure they thought it was interesting. I could see my 85 y/o grandparents getting a kick out of this, but i think that it really is a waste of time.
