A school deemed this Wonder Woman lunchbox as too violent
MeTV ^ | AUGUST 26, 2015 | Brent DiCrescenzo

An anonymous Reddit user named twines18 took to the Reddit Pics page and Imgur to share the above images of a Wonder Woman lunchbox. He titled his post:

Letter a friend of mine's daughter received from school today. Her Wonder Woman lunchbox features a violent super hero that does not comply with the school's dress code. Pictures of the lunchbox are also attached.

According to twines18, a private elementary school, the name and location of which remains unnamed, barred a student from carrying this super cool yellow lunchbox with red and blue stars. The lunchbox depicts Wonder Woman smiling and running with her Lasso of Truth. In a letter posted along with with the lunchbox photos, the school asks that "children not bring violent images into the building in any fashion… We have defined 'violent characters' as those who solve problems using violence."

The Wonder Woman we know (Lynda Carter, of course) and watch every Saturday at 8PM | 7C on MeTV is a great role model. Wonder what they would make of this Welcome Back, Kotter lunchbox.

Here is the letter:

Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas, Baywatch. In the 70’s there was Maude. TJ Hooker wasn’t popular because of The Shatt.

Jiggle TV, a magical time. Fun to watch on modern HD TVs too, it’s amazing how much the snow and size of old TVs “censored” shows.

Yeah, they’re making it more in line with the kind of costume the Kryptonians wore in that “Man of Steel” movie.

Oh well, times change. It isn’t the traditional costume, but I don’t think it’s too bad. They certainly could have screwed it up a lot worse.

Speaking of “jiggle” I still recall the mental image of Marcia (and Jan) bouncing along while running in an amusement park. They were jiggling about as much as it is possible to.

Yeah, that was unfortunate ...

But you have to admit that, if the little metal ^&#^%! had to be in the show, getting Mel Blanc to do the voice was sheer genius.

Haha, I actually liked Twiki, but I was a kid when that show was on, so I guess I was the preferred demographic. He was goofy, but still cooler than that weird robot-dog thing on Battlestar.

Plus, with that computer thing he wore as a necklace, he was like the original Flavor Flav!

What’s worse than a Wonder Woman lunch box?

A Wonder Woman lunch box with a pop tart.

Which has nothing to do with anything. She’s still wearing a teddy with a bustier and kinky boots AND you admitted it’s a sexy look.

So apparently I’m not the only pervert. Or you’re just a liar. Whatever.

but let’s face it in that incarnation WW basically wears lingerie,

"My favorite vacation destination is the pool,"

Then you should be able to recognize the fact than Wonder Woman is wearing her Swim Suit! She moonlights as a Lifeguard!

Oh my; can’t look at a picture of a pretty girl any more
and make a simple statement of fact.
Look simpleton; its a cartoon from the comic pages, get over it.
Your PC is powerful in you today isn’t it?
As a matter of interest the costume the CARTOON DRAWING on the lunch box is wearing was Wonder Woman’s UNIFORM, you know kind of like a cheerleaders uniform.
After all she was a cheerleader for the USA back when that was still acceptable.
SO; NOT THE BEDROOM CLOTHING THAT SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN YOUR MIND.
