Pushing the go a little too far

...today was another "Superiority Complex" day for me.

I had to go to Seattle and Bremerton today to take care of a few things. On my way back to Westlake Center to catch a bus to Everett, I see a bunch of girls shivering in the cold wearing fur coats. Upon closer inspectiong...it's a bunch of PeTA fangirls wearing fake fur coats drenched in red paint to make a point. Then, they sprawl themselves on the sidewalk weraing a couple of bear traps and pouring fake blood all around themselves.Look...I see the point they are making. I can respect this...but WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO? I mean really? We know that animals died to make the coats...don't tell me the sky is freakin' blue. I'm not a complete moron.

So, these classy ladies are covered in blood and fake fur. it looked like a the FAO Shwartz bear went rabid and beat the crap out of them...but left their hair and makeup PERFECT, mind you. They did have channel 4 interviewing them after all...They all have their legs caught in a fake bear trap. Although I understand and ALMOST appreciate the sybolism...it's such a damn waste. They are only really protesting to one small fraction of the population. You say nothing about leather (which I find odd) and only focus on the purchasing of fur. You know who purchases fur in the continental US? RICH PEOPLE. People who can afford that shit. You honestly beleive that stretching yourself on a cold sidewalk in 30 degree weather swimming in Ben Nye fake blood is really going to get your "point" acrossed? Some lady is totally gonna walk by and say "HOLY SHIT! I'm wearing a dead thing that was killed for my godless pleasure! I'M SO ASHAMED!" I don't think so, ladies.

What actually pissed me off about all of this is my opinion on protesting. Unless it's going on right HERE and NOW, unless it's a growing problem, and the people in charge of said problem are actually there to hear the message...then it's is a waste of time, money, and you're now just taking up space on the sidewalk. You're just standing there...to make a point...nothing proactive about that in my opinion! You should be volunteering for no-kill animal shelters! You should be out there researching safer animal-friendly products! You should be writing letters! It's like the war protesters who sit in front of the POST OFFICE. It does NOTHING for your cause! You will reach more people video taping that and posting it on YOUTUBE than sitting on a sidewalk.

Don't you ladies have JOBS? Don't you all have responsibilities other than telling us meat eaters that we are horrible people?I almost asked if the fake blood they were using was animal cruelty free, environmentally safe, and wouldn't stain the sidewalk.Oh, and htey attracted the "if you aren't wearing an American flag and carrying the Cross you must be a heathen tourist who's going to Hell no matter how much you pray for forgiveness" group of wackos. They tried to hand me a pamphlet...as did PeTA...and I got mean.

"Get the hell away from me!" I bellowed.Yes...I bellowed.

I don't shriek very well and I'm not a screamer. I just get kinda loud. That and I had my headphones in listening to my favorite Coldplay songs...I got grumpy when the visuals that were plced before me totally clashed with what I was listening to. *LOL*Then...yes, there is a "then" to this story...I board the bus to Everett. There is this douchebag sitting across from me wearing his hat to the side and his shoes unlaced (why is dressing liek you have downs syndrom a cool thing?) drinking perscription cough syrup like it was water out of a paper bag. I had no idea that Pabst Blue Ribbon was making medicine! AND THEN he started a conversation with another douche and his chubby gal pal who wore a bright pink jogging suit that said PINK in bling on her ass...about his medicines...and whipped about 3 bottles of medicine out and told this couple about how each pill "fucks you up nice and all". WHAT?! COME ON! And he's giving out free samples!

People like this make me realize on days when I'm alone that I'm pretty freakin' awesome.
