[LM_NET] 2009 Guinness World Records

[Erika Crowe <erika.crowe@SAU60.ORG>]

How many of you have the 2009 edition of the Guinness World Records in
your middle school library? (grades 5-8)  We've had it for years but just
noticed a picture on page 73.  There is a picture of a woman with the
"largest augmented breasts", along with a blurb.  The page also contains
information on the "longest penis extension" (no picture).  We could not
find this in older editions, so it must have just been put in this year. 
Do you feel this is appropriate for middle schoolers?  My concern is not
just the appropriateness, but also the body image ideas it portrays. 
Thank you!
