I wonder if mucus is prettier if it's glittery.

people are so stupid.

Hehehehe, I read this on the onion last week. It's pretty crazy when you read it. It's hard to believe that people actually thought it may be true.

Some people will believe just about anything if it is presented to them in a semi-logical way. They've probably read all about people inhaling lead and asbestos and think, "Why not glitter, too?"

It is rather disturbing, though, just how bad for your health school art rooms can be. I did some safety inspections for the state of Maryland a while back, and some of the schools' art departments were just as bad (if not worse) than their biology and chemistry labs. It can be safer to work in a chemical plant than in a school.

A smoking art teacher's lung would have a very unique look for innards. Black and glitter: What a wonderful contrast!

And what of those poor souls slaving away hour after hour down in the sparkling darkness of the glitter mines every day for minimum wage? You know how notoriously lax the health regulations concerning the mining of art supplies is; most of those workers aren't even given proper face masks! So write to your congressman/MP today, and support your local glitter miners!

Huh? People who believed this is real are actually being allowed to teach children?

What is this - Kansas??

Oh dear, I think I might be a bit guilty of spreading this. I sent this to a childcare teacher friend last week, just as a funny email. Knowing that she's not the most technical person in the world, perhaps I should have really emphasised 'This is a joke'. She's probably called the union to ask about her rights too. I've played practicaly jokes on her before where she's bought it hook, line and sinker. I've once changed her phone welcome message to 'Internal battery low - see dealer for replacement'. She was harrassing a poor phone store salesman for ages till they worked it out.

I read this in the Onion. It was amusing, then. This, however, is just sad. Almost makes me want to promote homeschooling...

I believe glitter lung is possible. My gramps had it, but instead of glitter, it was from cigarettes. it was called Cigarette Lung. Remember kids- stay away from glitter.

people should of known it was a satire, HELLO this is coming from "the onion."

but i do love the onion, even though its a satire, i still love to read it

Sounds like something out of the enquirer. That is so funny.

This was obviously a hoax but I know of someone in England who inhaled some glitter (a classroom assistant) and she has become very ill - she is unable to work. I am wondering whether to stop my boys using glitter because of this. (I found the hoax story when I was looking for info on the net)on glitter and its dangers
