*THAT* is what they are freaking out about?!
What a bunch of whiners.
I found myself at a mall in Florida this weekend, walking by a store called
“The Body Shop”... the most prominent image in the front window
was a poster of two scantily clad teen-looking females in embrace with
the words “Make love not war”... Frankly, I found that objectionable...but do
you think I’d get favorable media coverage if I organized protests?
I saw a bumper sticker recently that said “If you are going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair.”
After I stopped laughing, I thought about being offended. Decided against it.
“walking by a store called “The Body Shop”... the most prominent image in the front window was a poster of two scantily clad teen-looking females in embrace with the words “Make love not war””
Funny, my 12 yr old and I were in the mall yesterday and saw that same poster in that shop’s window. We both looked up at it with identical, carefully blank expressions and then he said, “Okaaay. Moving right along”, and then he started walking again. Around the corner he said, “I have seen so much of that stuff in this mall today, Mom”. Then, he accurately sited some of the same-sex couples with kids that we had passed, some that I hadn’t even noted, myself. He said that there was a certain “closeness” between the adults that clued him in.
If only every teenage kid had similar a reaction, we might see a serious protest for such a poster that would be hard to ignore.
