They also killed Anna Nicole Smith and put Shrub in office. Way to go Florida!
LAist has a funny column on why Florida sucks.

He he! This is just an extended "Germany or Florida" with all the guesswork removed.
I'm proud to live in a town at the forefront of an important battle between words and ideas. Words, of course, are evil and scary, but their meanings are okay. "I'm fine driving by a sign that uses a childish synonym to make me think about a vagina, but I don't want to read the word 'vagina'!"
Good lookin' out, bucko. Maybe if you were paying more attention to the road, you'd be capable of merging properly without me having to come to a complete stop every fucking time!

This is gorgeous. Gorgeous! See where all your politically correct, bleeding-heart whining leads to? Now do you see why my side thought it was not only ridiculous but downright dangerous to start banning Indian nicknames in college sports even though the only people objecting were white liberal arts majors who were pretending to be offended on behalf of people who didn't give a damn? And other stuff like that?
The pendulum swings both ways, kids. Once you start bending over backwards to make sure no one is offended by anything, well, then, you've got to keep bending over backwards to make sure no one is offended by anything.
And, if course, this lady who was "offended" by "The Vagina Monologues" is lying. She's not a prude, she's not a delicate flower, she's not some naive person who's innocence had been shaken. She's a lying sack of crap. Know how I know she's not offended by seeing "The Vagina Monologues" on a marquee? Because she can't possibly be, because it's not offensive. It's like if you said you know someone who drowned in the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese; well, no you don't, because that's impossible.
Anyway. Enjoy your liberal paradise.
