Thanks for the checking my sentences. Well, I watched the videos again. I still can't get the hang of the first comedy show, but I kind of understand the next news show. The girl was given reading assignment at school. THe book was "Fahrenheit 451", which is said that a temperature that paper starts to be oh fire at. This book is about book banning. In the book, banning the bibles is included so the father of the girl thought that this book should be banned. And this happend ironically on national banned book day? That's why this news is ironical?

That is pretty much it!!! In Fahrenheit 451, the bible was burnt and there was a lot of cussing (swearing). That is why the girl complained to her father and is part of the reason why he wants the book to be banned.
It is ironic, because the book is about book banning and the book itself was banned.
To make it even more interesting I guess is the fact that this happened during National banned book week.

It was kind of a complicated story, but that made the story more interesting.
