New Mexico's La Cueva High School has banned cheerleaders from wearing their uniforms on campus, saying the outfits are too revealing. The girls are still allowed to wear their uniforms at games.

    Won't someone please think of the guys? Do you know how embarrassing it is to walk through the halls or stand at the chalkboard with a woodrow in your shorts? Teen boys are supposed to have boners in the bleachers, of course, but inside the school? I say, ban it!

    This is it!

    This is peak derp, it finally happened.

    Makes sense. You don't see other athletes walking around school in their football uniforms, baseball uniforms, swimming suits .... but why do the chess club and debating teams get special exemption?

    1. Unicorn Abattoir   11 years ago

      Swimming suits? Was that humor or did you go to a way cooler high school than I did?

      Where I went to high school jocks wore their football and basketball jerseys every time there was an excuse.

    Am I the only one who thought "then redesign the uniform?"

    They do know it's up to the school what the uniform is, right?
