"Get a Brain! Morans": Word is out

thank you wikipedia

"Moran": Misspelling of moron, referring to a well-known picture of a redneck holding two signs saying "Get a brain! Morans" and "Go USA", in response to anti-war activists protesting the US invasion of Iraq. The image was originally taken at a Boeing plant in Saint Charles, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis), shortly after the war began in March 2003, and was originally posted on the web site of the St. Louis Independent Media Center. (The original article and images have apparently since been archived.) A Google image search for "morans" is a useful way to find the picture.

It's in caps - he's shouting:

"Get A BRAIN! MORANS"

I love how the photo is EVERYTHING bad about America all in one place: icky summer clothes, fat ankles, mirrored pseudo-Vuarnet shades, people wearing flag shit, spelling errors and misplaced patriotism. All worn by what appears to be an off-duty Embers management trainee.

(xpost: Dude, once you go out of the house with a tragically-misspelled sign that's utterly pig-stupid, everything about you is fair game for ridicule.)

But it loses something in trans, as it's spelled that way in fr.

I love how Americans hate pigs.

Thank you very much Kate St.Perry.

(xxpost: Are you SERIOUSLY comparing this to kissing someone else's wife or are you just typing too quickly to think about what you're writing?)

It's different to make fun of rich people because of the way they act than to ridicule (suppossedly poor) people for their appearance (which isn't exactly the case here, but still).

Also, it's always different to ridicule those in power than those that have little power.
