F-W, Go Vegan, etc. My favorite was "SUVs Suck". On the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The irony... the horrible irony.... Posted September 8, 2006 03:01 PMBarkley Rosser writes: Hypocritical? Heck, he was illegally parked, clearly a revolutionary against the political-social-economic order!

I'll be the one taking up two parking spaces at Walmart. Seriously.

I really wanted to run them off the road and relieve them of that bit of technology so that they wouldn't be subjected to its suckage.

I have the "Commies aren't cool" one, but I gotta buy that one too. I love wearing it and seeing someone wearing a Che shirt. I saw a (probably freshmen) girl on campus wearing a Che shirt at the gym, I figured I'd see her again, so a couple days later I wore mine, the look on her face was hilarious.

I would assume that that was as-yet-undetected vandalism, not hypocrisy.

I think social concern was motivated more by getting out of class than anything else. Also, if they did give into the thrill of inciting riots and getting arrested, their daddies would buy/bully their way out of the legal system leaving a clean record for acceptance into whatever Ivy League is fashionable at the time. Clearly, this guy is in the same league. Protest enough to be fashionable but not so much that you don't fit in the McMansion neighborhoods of NoVa. Posted September 13, 2006 12:34 PMTRACKBACKS
