<description>Giving the Ford Probe a run for its money as the worst-named anything ever, some folks are promoting the the worst-named event in Seattle: Methfest. Because nothing sounds more appealing than a bunch of greasy hipsters on meth. Here’s their poster: Methfest&apos;s poster is a riff on an old Hempfest poster—a poster I made in 2000 (the original was better, if I do say) that&apos;s been butchered to promote, not legalizing pot, but smoking meth! At the bottom, it says, “Pissing off hippies since 2005.” Um, nice try, Methfest, but I’m not a hippie. And to show I’m not upset,...</description>

<title>Comment by condimentgrrl</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey -- how come no reporting on the shooting at the UU church in Knoxville that killed 2 and injured others?  The guy who did it reportedly did it because the UUers are so liberal (of course, the a$$hole also had an ex-wife from the church).  Maybe no reporting is a good thing; if this had happened at a Baptist church and the gunman had blamed all the crazy right-wingers, this would be plastered all over Fox, etc.  It's not even on the Fox news site.  This gunman attacked DURING A CHILDREN'S MUSICAL at the church.  There's some nugget of hypocritical wisdom about the right wing and their love of family, blah blah blah.  But I'm a lifetime UU and this is really upsetting. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>MethFest is a seattle institution by this point...this'll be what, the fourth one? i think...they've all been great, and if you have any interest in noise or grind or anything of the sort then MethFest will bhook you up with members of the local community.</p>

<p>also, since when is having a terrible shitty lofi aesthetic with little/no apparent artistic merit a bad thing? </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Abigale Lovejoy</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>How can people make fun of such a terrible problem in our inner cities?  I've lost friends to this horrible drug and I don't find it funny one bit.  If the promoters of this horrid excuse for entertainment think they are intelligent for creating this parody, they are sadly mistaken.  I have half a mind to take this to the city council for indecency and being offense.  I, as a member of the Seattle Cornish School of High Arts will be forming a protest of Methfest for the entirety of the festival.  If you are interested in join me and spreading the word against meth or the parody of meth contact me @ abigalelovejoyforpeace(at)yahoo(dot)com</p>

<p>We'll show these "jokers" that we don't find their humor funny.</p>]]></description>
