Darn. Didn't know we had this option!!

Does banning the site ban some of the stupid ass comments as well? :)

As a teacher from a different district - it is probably due to the NSFW photo threads you have posted in the past.

That will teach you KF.

i wonder if the free press is banned too...

Wouldn't matter @7:36 PM since the JPS coverage in the JFP is placed by JPS. Like the Clinton campaign.

Very Interesting. Some comments are rather raw, but nothing they don't hear in the hallways.

They just access it on their phones.

There's only 3 or 4 there who 'care' enough to try to keep tabs with JJ....

The phones that are bought with our tax dollars....

I hope all sites with comment sections are blocked.
Students need to learn the basics of our system of government and how to find the least biased information available.
The tyranny of the majority is also a danger in a democracy and students need to learn how to think independently.
They should learn that in Europe for centuries, wars were fought between nations and within nations over religion and it didn't matter which religion won, the winning religion was oppressive and repressive.
They might also learn that a political ideology is only as benevolent as its leadership and how its implemented and how democracies failed.
They might learn how economic systems failed as well with the 1300s being particularly relevant for today's world.

They might read Paul Mitchell and think his remark has relevance.
" No blood, no foul" ???? So a broken neck or concussion doesn't count???
Paul also doesn't seem to know that you have to read to use a computer but he is living proof that reading and writing have nothing to do with comprehending and having a relevant thought worth writing down.

heck, maybe the district will ban themselves and they will all just go away.

6:55 yes it's obvious how serious JPS students are about their academic performance. They will follow in the steps of the great leadership they see in Jackson... what a bright future they have.

7:03, I value your opinion.

Your post answers that question.

11:49, I have two sons at JPS, and their phones were purchased with my paycheck. Yes, black people work, and some of us earn very good salaries. Yes, my husband and I earn enough to pay for I-phones and cars and college.

JPS's Wi-Fi is only available to the kids with school issued laptops. Those laptops are only for classwork and homework. I read this site periodically, and I have never seen anything educational on it. It's mostly made up of people bashing Jackson or Madison or bashing black people. Why would a high school kid need to read anything on this site?.

12:48, JJ posts plenty of educational content for people that want to be informed about the business of the city of Jackson and the corruption of local officials. This should be very important to people that live and work in Jackson, even if they are in Jackson's failing schools.

Of course, there is another independent source of "news" about Jackson and it is mostly false.

FYI, Kingfish has lived in Jackson for as long as I have known him. (My personal opinion of why he lives in Jackson is that is because he is a lunatic.)

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
