PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY – A recent study by the Department of Sociology at Princeton found that up to 98% of middle class white adults flash or “throw” gang signs when they are being photographed. The three year study also reveals that 99.9% of those throwing the gang signs have never been in a gang, haven’t the slightest idea what the sign they are throwing means and do not listen to rap music.
“It is a perplexing phenomenon for sure,” Professor Allen Clydesdale told the Daily Rash. “It was quite surprising to meet a thirty-year-old physical therapist from Beardstown, Missouri, who subscribes to Readers Digest and leads a quilting group at the local library admit she practices throwing gang signs in front of a mirror at home.”
“Sure I throw a gang sign every now and then. It’s a way for me to let the world know that I’m not a typical suburban thirty-something who doesn’t have a clue. I have a clue! Gang signs are just one of the ways I telegraph that to others. I also have a unicorn tattoo on my shoulder,” Gladys Sullivan told The Daily Rash on her lunch break at Mount Monocle Hospital in Beardstown.

Yep, the Vulcan finger split is my favorite gang sign to throw, that and making a heart.
I’m not a typical suburban thirty-something
___________________________
What exactly is wrong with being a typical suburban thirty-something? What is missing that she needs to fit in with the youth? Why does Madonna think the world wants to see a 50-something year old woman strip, if Obama wins?
Where are the youth to get any type of role models when everyone wants to run around acting 15.I just don’t get it.
The gang signs, well, that’s what’s cool and tough— look at the videos, listen to thumping music going down the road. It’s everywhere, on the TV, in the magazines, you name it. It is romanticized. Heck, those white 13yr old punk kids that killed their great-grandmother, they looked like gangsta wannabes.
I had the same growing up. My mom couldn’t STAND some of the music and foolishness that I copied. Thing is, somehow there seemed to be more humanity behind it. The stuff that I’ve observed nowadays seems cold and empty. Maybe I’ve not seen enough of it to know.

How could anyone read past the first sentence and not realize that this is satire?
rofl
obvious satire.
like my blog
I don’t know that ive ever seen anyone i know do this,,,ever. 98% sounds awfully high to me.
This isn’t satire , It’s pure unadulterated BS.
90% of white people do not throw gang signs.
Horse Hockey.
That’s because it is. The Daily Rash is a satire web site similar to The Onion.
Dumbass Wiggers!
Whata Maroon!
“This is SATIRE.”
After Sandra Fluke, it is really hard to tell these days!
Thanks!
I second that the rest of the site has other hillarious stories like, “For $25 Obama Campaign Lets Donors Pick up the President and Hold Him” and “Mayor Bloomberg’s Impassioned Crusade for Mandatory Breastfeeding”.
(A recent study by the Department of Sociology at Princeton)...
...paid for by the taxpayers.
OK, satire. But don’t drive like a libtard idiot
with cOexIst, freetibet, and local public radio
call letter bumper stickers and I won’t have to
flash the one gang sign I know.
What up ... dawg!
Not necessarily: there aren’t that many government grants for sociology, and Princeton’s endowment is so large they can pay $23K stipends to graduate students for five years in exchange for three semesters of teaching and offer them subsidized housing and health insurance throughout. There’s a good chance this was simply the research done for a Princeton Ph.D. dissertation in sociology and cost the tax-payers not a dime.
Thanks, Seinfeld.....
