Had an impromptu video conference with GinJ Mike this morning. His wife apparently busted him sneaking a beer from the fridge in the middle of the call… Anyway, he took some incriminating screenshots of me shaking a baby doll during my rant. How very Alice Cooper.
For those of you in the younger set, Alice Cooper could kick Marilyn Manson’s skinny ass. Afterward, MM would shake his hand and say, “Thank you.”
I was explaining to him about the anti-baby shaking billboard campaign seen around Texas (I guess it’s all over the US, I dunno), and how the text layout makes it read (to me, anyway), “Never, Never, Never (line break) Never Shake a Baby,” like, “Never don’t shake a baby.” Like, “Shake the shit out of a baby.” Like someone subliminally trying to thin the herd.
But don’t let me get off on a conspiracy rant, ‘cos I’m just not into that shit. Leave that to Alex Jones. Or this tall skinny white Jesus-is-a-Holy-Space-Alien guy I used to work with. Nothing worse than a white guy with dreads wearing a stinky rasta bag and a Bob Marley t-shirt. Oh, and crocs. With dirt in them. No socks.

Ha, ha! This reminds me of a similar billboard I saw recently. I was in Ohio for work last week and saw a billboard with a picture of a crying little girl. The message said something like, “Every time you hit your wife, it teaches her a lesson.” Obviously they intended “her” to refer to the picture of the crying child and the whole thing is supposed to imply that if kids see their parents behaving violently toward each other, they learn that this is OK, bla bla bla.
But it made me laugh uncontrollably because to me it reads, “Hitting your wife teaches her not to talk back!”
