signs of the times

Ever noticed all those unneeded signs? Like the old Camaro with a windshield banner saying "CAMARO"? I saw a 4WD truck with a driver sporting a greasy mullet, gunrack in the cab, driver had sub-British dental health. The windshield banner? "REDNECK". Never would have guessed that.

We've heard a lot about the Transformers twins being a racial caricature, especially the infamous gold tooth on one of the robots. Today I walked by an emporium in Little Rock Arkansas called Mr. Kool. A prominent item being promoted was a 14K gold tooth cap. Nolo contendere! No mas! Anything I say can and will be held against me.

Then there was the 4WD pickup tailgating me on the freeway. All I could see was grill and the vanity plate reading "BIG DORK". Musta been named after his father.
