Ok. First of all, I am no goody goody prude dude. Far from it.
I see more and more evidence everyday of our society going to shinguard. As my job takes me all over the city every day, I see countless examples of the lack of respect for ourselves. Everything from offensive bumper/window stickers, t-shirts, to rediculous business names. Doggy Style is the name of some dog parlor in town. Granted, it's imaginative, and even a little humorous. But c'mon, they coulda done better. Another one off the top of my head is some garbage pickup outfit advertising if you need a good dump to give them a call. Amusing, but whatever, it sucks. The latest one though really passing me off is the fata store in Chinook. Ok, its sposed to be an acronym for french connection UK some damn thing, but that part is in very small letters after you read the fata. Lets face it. The first thing you read is FATA. NO? Doesnt this offend you? Like I say, I'm no prude.....but man I got limits. I mean.....I swear, I listen to loud music, I drive fast (when it's safe), I've done my share of drinking/drugs, heck, I even make lotsa noise at hockey and football games. But you know what? I respect what you may think of that, and I definately pick and choose whom I swear around. I speed out in the middle of nowhere, and wouldnt think of drinking around someone not comfortable with that. I dunno, maybe thats jsut the way things are evolving, and its not a big deal to people any more. Maybe I'm starting to get old and behind the times. Maybe I'm outta touch. I am though interested in what you think of this.
edit : see,.....even CP disguises the store name !! it's F*C*U*K for those that dont know
