What possible job could someone get with Grillz??

I am so glad that this is getting banned. It is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever seen. Can you imagine what their breath must smell like with all that shit in their mouth??

My son just turned 14 and he went through a I want Grillz stage, I was wondering why my aluminum foil was always out and why I was finding little pieces of it in the bathroom...well the genius that is my son was wrapping his teeth like a baked potato in the morning and going to school.
When I found out I almost passed out laughing. I asked the boy if he wanted to go around with his mouth looking like a side dish for a steak. Thankfully he stopped that shit. I guess he realized that he was ruining his teeth...

What possible job could someone get with Grillz?? I am talking about the Flavor Flav style ones...

you are kidding me! your son wrapped his teeth in aluminum foil?

Couldn't make that shit up if I wanted to...TOO FUNNY. At least I have laughter in my life...

Furthermore, has anyone noticed the discoloration of this mf's gums???

CalhounSq said:

Now that you point it out...

At least he will have some nice charms to put on his chain after his teeth fall out.

Iggykatt said:

lord, they look so painful.


and usually they just look like braces.

JasmineFire said:

...and I had braces for 4 years. Couldn't wait to get those fuckers off...now there are people actually wanting these things on their teeth.

But if that is what they want then more power to them. I let my son know that he can get them when he can pay for them. Until then his teeth are my teeth until he moves out...

Say What????

What the hell IS that???

Noooo. That's not CUUUTE. That is just not cute at all

I'm with the other poster that thought the pagers and the phones were the things the kids wanted. I didn't know they now want to run around looking like Metal Mouth from the James Bond movies

I've never seen anything like this in Australia.

Wait. Don't you have metal teeth?

"We want to instil in them a sense of modesty and a sense of community," said school board trustee Gloria Pena. "We're preparing them for the workforce, and in the workforce there are rules."

My former law firm had no problem with the 8-gauge tunnels I used to have through my earlobes. My current one doesn't care about the tattoo on the back of my neck. I just don't wear anything in my ears when I'm representing a client in court, taking/defending a deposition, etc. And in those situations, I'll be wearing a collared shirt, which covers the ink completely if I've got the top button closed and a necktie.

so do you put fillers in your ears? i'm foggy on how big an eight gauge actually is. i think that my naval piercing is a fourteen gauge....

Students may no longer wear mouth jewelry known as "grills" - shiny teeth caps - or the earlobe-stretching practice known as "gauging."
"The district is having to respond to fads because they've become distracters or a safety hazard for those around them," said Malcolm Turner, the district's executive director of student services.
The nearby Irving, Grand Prairie and DeSoto districts also ban grills, and some also address gauging - the process of placing increasingly large items in the ears to stretch the lobes.
But students said the body modification is simply self-expression.
"Really, a grill is just like an earring. It's fashion," said Devonte Wright, 16.

But school officials said they hoped to teach students that life would require them to follow specific regulations in specific settings.

"We want to instil in them a sense of modesty and a sense of community," said school board trustee Gloria Pena. "We're preparing them for the workforce, and in the workforce there are rules."

I don't see why they're being banned, really.

Yes, there are fewer people can pull off stretched lobes without looking silly than they think can, and yes, grills are fucking ugly. But since when is tacky grounds for being banned? Neither are sexually provocative. Neither advertise or glorify drugs, alcohol, or gangs.

For that matter -why is anything other than Junior Mormon Club gear deemed unprofessional in the workplace? Someone want to explain to me exactly how pink hair or a visible tattoo impedes one's work ethic or productivity? And since when does school prepare you for the real world, anyway? It's about the farthest thing from, if you ask me.

They don't, however, it would be very naive to think that customers and business relations (as a whole, not individuals) are just cool with it. They're not and until that changes things like grillz, visible tats/piercings and other things will not be tolerated at work.
