WISDOM 2013

Years ago Simon and Garfunkel wrote and sang that "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls."  Today, the greatest wisdom and stupidity can be found on T-shirts and bumper stickers.  Examples of these include the ubiquitous "YES WE DID" implying that the driver of the car ahead of you, who obviously has not figured out life based on their obvious circumstances, is joyous over another four years of messianic rule by the great provider of free cell phones, unemployment insurance for 99 weeks, and more welfare than you can shake a stick at.  All this high-fiveing celebrates the preservation of the status quo for the aforementioned driver and her smoke-belching Toyhonkiazuki. Thank God there is also a "Save the Environment" sticker on the bumper or a person could assume that she did not care.

Every opinion possible can be found on the bumper of a car in front of you if you are stuck in traffic enough.  Once you exit your car you have to rely upon T-shirt wisdom.  Some of it is simple and quick to read like a giant Polo Pony with the words POLO in 8" high letters.  It means " bigger is always better and I have no taste."  Or "CHOICE" as in "Biatch, we all wish your mother had made a different one."  The T-shirt pictured above says a lot but it is too wordy to be read on a quick walk-by.  Maybe if it were on the back of the shirt, the fashion equivalent of a bumper sticker one could get through all the words.  Then again if some Sofia Vergara-esque woman were wearing it facing front, the words might be bigger and easier to read and most men would not mind struggling with the wordiness to get the message.   Go ahead, call the P C Police...see if I care.
