Slog - Comments on Re: Because Christmas Wasn't Enough http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/re_because_chri Regarding Brad's earlier post... When we got this group's press release today at 10-something announcing a demonstration at noon today—might want to get those press releases out a little earlier next time, kids—we thought it might be bullshit. Here's the group's website. I didn't want to waste my time on it, but I'm always happy to waste a photographer's time. So we sent one down to Westlake. Lo and behold, the group gathered and protested... Be mine—hilarious. Oh, and it looks like TV people came. Maybe we'll see Jean Enerson discussing the anti-See's activists tonight on King 5......

I mean, I thought I really needed to get laid, but those people REALLY need to get laid.

(Of course, maybe not so highly advanced, considering we still fight wars for resources and over metaphysical concepts.) So, as primates, we are going to want to exercise that part of our nature which is sexual.
Reigning that urge back in extremis, results in some pretty odd behavior and/or guilt over what was once called "impure thoughts" in the old Catholic church and oftentimes, unwanted pregnancies.
Of course, trying to convince people who are preaching abstinance of any of that is a futile task. If nothing else, it makes for some good photos to fill the "news hole."

"THIS IS A TRICKY GREY AREA".

I want to make one and follow the guy who wants to make love to White Jesus around.

But these people sure provide an easy incentive to eat, be merry and fat!

And isn't the "Be Mine" poster a rip off of the "Uncle Sam Wants YOU!" poster?

God, I want chocolate!

She's got it, she almost kind of flaunts it (but when they're that smokin', it's kind of hard not to). She'll feel immense relief when she puts it to safe use with someone who appreciates and reciprocates.

Apparently the Hallmark Security Forces had to spray the crowd with chalky, candy bullets. Girl in pink was able to protect three other protestors by selflessly using her tremendous rack to deflect the barrage. Unfortunately, a small child was "called to 'Be Mine' with Jesus" when an IED exploded as a See's Candy APC arrived on the scene.
