| | The high school musical this fall is something called "Urinetown." I have looked it up, and it sounds even more infuriating than the disgusting title implies, but that's beside the point.
The title IS disgusting, so it doesn't matter if it is the greatest, most hilarious, most well-written play with the best songs in the history of theater: you don't know that. Because you do not give it a chance. You see that title and you refuse to attend the show on principle. I want to see their ticket sales at the worst they've been in 10 or 20 years*. That will teach them a lesson about encouraging people who write plays with idiotic titles and think they're all clever and bold for doing so.
In sum: PUNISH THEM. PUNISH THEM ALL. By boycotting this production. If your child is in it, boycott it twice as hard. Then consider smacking them about the head for not judging the play by its cover, which is a perfectly legitimate course of action, especially in this case.
[*In actuality, I am depressingly sure that this will be their most popular musical ever, and thus encourage them to continue rejecting the AWESOME CLASSICS such as were performed throughout my high school career, and go for more idiotic Tony-winning crap from the 21st century, with all its edgy modern commentary and whatnot.]
Why are today's teenagers so full of fail?
