50 Megatons of bullshit
"When 50 megatons of freedom are falling on our brothers and sisters in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Libya, it's time to get up and take a stand."
This was printed on a bunch of signs plastered all over the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, presumably by a horde of smelly hippies. Smelly though they may be, I think they're probably right. So, since we aren't dropping 50 megaton bombs on any of those countries, and since I don't have any siblings living in any of them, it's time to sit down and pop open a beer.
And to all you hippies out there killing trees so you can give me stomach ulcers, here's a tip: it's great if you can write a shocking sentence that causes people to notice your poster. It's even better if that shocking sentence can have one iota of truth in it. Reminds me of those bumper stickers that say "Meat: it's whats rotting in your colon". It is both ironic and moronic. Ironic because the person writing the phrase clearly came to the conclusion that their cause isn't really all that important and decided that they needed to lie to get other people to care. Moronic because people actually expect me to believe these things. Do these hippies even know what a 50 megaton bomb is?
In other news, it's Labor Day, so I didn't have to wake up early to go to work. Or, more accurately, I wouldn't have had to wake up early if I wasn't the dumbass who wakes up and drives all the way to work on Labor Day while wondering what the unusually low volume of traffic is all about. Yes, I'm that dumbass.
