Toodles Censored

 

With all the trouble Toodles gets in one wonders if anybody has ever tried to tame her wild ways. Well, of course they have. Not least of all her father, who was a judge, but poor soul nobody ever told him that family values begin at home and not the court room. The worst episode, however, was when a prissy haired, wife of a senator, bimbo caught her son flirting with Toodles and used her influence to get Toodles very existence censored. This was because she was madly jealous of Toodles' freewheeling ways. The bimbo did have a fun life until she accidentally got pregnant and then married. Poor soul, nobody ever told her about taking the proper precautions. Toodles, meanwhile, found being censored very inconvenient. She wasn't allowed in libraries, schools, churches, or other public buildings. Neither was she allowed in public. She was dutifully confiscated from anyone seen talking with her. Having been failed by her free speech rights, Toodles joined a pro-life movement, who were at the time teaching their children to despise authority and human rights, and sent them out to the front lines so they would get arrested saving the parents the bother and red tape of imprisonment. Using the movement to her own selfish ends, Toodles rescued the minds of the children and set them free and spoke out for respecting all life to everyone's great distress. They had to eventually repeal Toodles' censure so they could shut her up. Goodness, just imagine the mess if EVERYONE had equal rights.
