Nice Signage

I used to say that I love Libya for one reason alone—"Big Mo" Khadafi. Err, make that al-Gathafi. Now, I have another reason to love it—poorly proofed protest signs custom-made for Western photographers. Case in point:

Words of the ages, indeed:
"Injecting Our Children By Aids Virus
Is A Major Mass Murder And Human."

(AP Photo/File/Yousef Al-Ageli, 27 May 2005)

Of course, it's not a new photo, but I'm betting that you haven't seen it before, either!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*fbs,

That's pretty cute, but I can assure you that it's not me. For starters, I generally use proper grammar when I write things, and a cursory glance at "Brian C. Led"'s other posts on TheRanter, whomever that is seems to shy away from following "da rules."

To make matters worse, I have absolutely no inside information on al-Sadr, though I am proud to say that I know quite a few Marines that would delight in capping that angry little fella. "Que sera, sera," I say.

Is impersonation the highest form of flattery? One can only wonder...

Regards, and thanks for the amusement,
Brian
