This kid is 15...

his design is great, IMO.




LillyBoPeep -> RE: REALLY?? (2/9/2012 8:15:41 AM)

That's all kinds of ridiculous. They're just HANDS reaching up.

Geez, people are nuts!!




OsideGirl -> RE: REALLY?? (2/9/2012 8:28:21 AM)

Yeah, I thought that was ridiculous.




JanahX -> RE: REALLY?? (2/9/2012 8:32:12 AM)

I cant even handle that. That kids drawing was great. These people are so fucked up- seeing evil in shit that isnt even there. If I were that ladys boss I would FIRE HER based on the grounds for being stupid.

Next he'll be on the no-fly-list and under the watchful eye of the machine.
I find all kinds of offensive symbols in the sign.
Firstly the stars, isn't that what people see when they are bullied and beaten?
Secondly the stripes, again signs of abuse, the parents should be investigated.
...and why the star of David .. Christians everywhere are sure to rise up in protest.
...and finally the hands, reaching up, not helping hands but more like hands needing ...a help up. This is surely a slap at the government. Yes controversy drips from this sign.
(see what you can find if that's all you're looking for?)
Adults are the good at ruining the innocence of children.

Right? Employment contracts should include an Excessive Idiocy Clause.

This is my favorite comment so far.

"It was surprisingly easy to find an annunciation painting with the angel throwing an MLD sign at the Virgin Mary.
Maybe the city sticker artist is a fan of Philippe de Champaigne; so was Cyrano de Bergerac. Or maybe
de Champaigne was a Maniac Latin Disciple."

It is from this article: "Gang Signs" in the Chicago City Sticker: A Rorschach Test





shylilbear -> RE: REALLY?? (2/9/2012 12:17:19 PM)

One of the comments mentioned that everyone who supports this kid should print out all the comments and send it in to the city officials. I love that idea!

I also agree that this is political correctness gone way too far. We can't do anything anymore without someone somewhere getting all offended and bent out of shape. Far too many people have adopted a victim mentality, finding offense in almost everything. Grown ups really need to grow up and start acting like the adults they're supposed to be!




GreedyTop -> RE: REALLY?? (2/9/2012 12:30:27 PM)

hear, hear, lilbear!!!




kitkat105 -> RE: REALLY?? (2/9/2012 2:00:50 PM)

Political correctness gone mad.
