So much wrong here.

Late nineties and it's a classic satirical view on a world where pc culture has run amok.

It does bother me when people shite on the messenger for being correct.

The kids these days say "be 100". Seems similar to that

Sorry facts are a problem for you?


The fact that you're bitching about the first lady's effort to help kids shows how much of an a-hole you are. Who gives a crap if she based it off old pamphlets?

Think about that. You're whining over this. God damned, you suck.

How much taxpayer money went into this "effort".

Just add in "the" and it works or "your".

Be Best sounds like bad syntax.

Why not "Be Great"? The motto of the campaign was "make America great again" makes more sense.


I agree - I am a grammarian at heart, but I don't gripe about it on a message board posts unless it is so egregious that the context is not understandable.

However, I am a stickler for official announcements - these should never tolerate any sort of bad grammar. Amateurish at best, ignorant at worst.
