Dood

Don’t know how many ways I can say this; being told “go away”, ignored completely when you speak, being chosen last for teams all say “you are worthless to us”

Kids think they are being nicer by not picking on someone that annoys them, and they are right. However, at least when a child is being picked on, however horribly, it means their existence has been noticed and has caused a reaction.

The cool kids hate it when the teachers pick the teams or assign students to work together in group. The ostracized kids are always relieved (of course by this point many would rather work alone after years of being rebuffed). 

Battle is (reportedly) “amazingly finicky on stupid things that don’t really achieve any government purpose. He’s implementing rules that are totally antiquated.”

Battle has rejected a beer label for the King of Hearts, which had a playing card image on it, because the heart implied that the beer would have a health benefit.

He rejected a beer called Pickled Santa because Santa’s eyes were too “googly” on the label, and labels cannot advertise the physical effects of alcohol. (A less googly-eyed Santa was later approved.)

He rejected a beer called Bad Elf because it featured an “Elf Warning,” suggesting that elves not operate toy-making machinery while drinking the ale. The label was not approved on the grounds that the warning was confusing to consumers.

He rejected a Danish beer label that featured a hamburger, which was turned down because the image implied there was a meat additive in the beer.

He rejected a beer that was marketed as an “India Dark Ale,” because it implied the beer was made in India (even though the label had a line with the words “Product of Denmark”).

He rejected a beer that called itself a “heart-warming ale,” because this supposedly involved a medical claim.

He also might reject your label if you address him as "Mr. Martin” instead of “Battle.”

Sophie Gamand photographs pit bulls in need of adoption and portrays them as sparkly, hippie-like beings to combat their negative reputation. Due to her ‘Flower Power’ portraits, many of these dogs have found new homes. 

As of 11/17/15, all of the dogs featured here need someone awesome to adopt them. 

You can find info for each of them on her website.
