Bumpersticker Atrocity of the Day

[cbertsch]

It could have been the Hot Topic-purchased pink-and-black stickers next to "Bush-Cheney 04." But I was even more incensed to see "W - 04" on the left and a radically recontextualized G.K. Chesteron quote on the right: "Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions." Personally, I'm waiting for that last word to become a double-entendre. I don't suppose it will come to that, though. There's bound to be another Gerald Ford in the queue should the need for one arise.

I thought it was bad here in military hotbed SD, but we ain't got nothing on that. Shit, why not just grow a pair and put the old GOD HATES FAGS sticker on the ride? I fucking hate those Hot Topic vinyl inanities myself. Nothing screams nonconformity like something marketed to the hundreds of thousands of likeminded drones just like you. Not you, Charlie, but you get my drift, I'm sure...

Fuck yeah. I went into Hot Topic yesterday because my brother got what I thought was a cool sweatshirt there. I walked in and immediately sensed the evil -- republican fucking facist marketing scheme. Hot White-Racist-Motherfucker Topic. Fuck me if I give them a cent of my money. Assholes.

Ouch. Will someone wash my mouth out with soap, PLEASE?!
