i find that i'm a holder of an unwitting prejudice.

i just read this alert about a suspicious character trying to lure kids into his car.

 

the car . . . was a toyota prius.  my first thought was "huh, that doesn't seem like a sex offender car to me."  like sex offenders can't care about the environment.

kiss it, nest.

Re: i find that i'm a holder of an unwitting prejudice.

  • WIndowless vans are total gas-guzzlers.  If you want to cover more ground at less of an expense, the smart molester buys hybrid.

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

  • My mind automatically went to how the car is practically silent when it's going slow, so the poor kids wouldn't hear the car coming up behind them. Sad

  • Was that in poor taste?

  •  I don't know, most of the prius drivers in my area seem like assholes.  Like they should get a freaking medal because they drive an environmentally friendly car or something.

  • I also make that association. We must be on the same wavelength. There are 2 (I think?) Level 3 sex offenders in this town that drive either a crappy Corolla or giant pickup trucks.

    no.  because i totally laughed.  and you KNOW i'm classy.

     

    listen, i hope they catch the guy.  they have a partial tag.  but i had a "huh" moment for sure.

    kiss it, nest.

    this should be a tag line in the 'how to be a better molester' panflete.

  • Rape Prius just doesn't have the same ringy-dingy to it.

    Also it's because you watched Silence of the Lambs at a certain age.

    My friend and I were chased down by a couple dipwads in an old pick up.  They had to be close to thirty years old and we were 15.

  • I still won't park next to unmarked, creepy vans. The Pope could be driving it and they still freak me out.

  • Someone a few years old said I must be a lesbian since I drove a Saturn.  Is that a stereotype about Saturns?!  I think Subarus  and not Saturns when I think lesbians.  Stick out tongue

    The song that plays in the background in this bit drove me nuts for a long time and apparently I've forgotten it again. I want to say it was Love and Rockets.

    I just started crafting totally inappropriate lyrics to Louis Armstrong's "Trees of Green" based on this very thread in my head :-)

    Seriously, people. If your faith in humanity is destroyed because your parents told you there was a Santa Claus and as it turns out there is no Santa Claus, you are an ignorant, hypersensitive cry baby with absolutely zero perspective. - UnderwaterRhymes

    LOL I think that person was/is an idiot.

    Subuarus certainly have the lesbo association. Saturns not so much.

  • On occassion, I have the need to drive a large van.

    I feel pervy just getting behind the wheel.

    The large number of adolescent boys in the back just add to the ick factor.

    Well, he was a little drunk at the time.  And he's more of a lesbian that most lesbians.  That comment would make complete sense if you knew him.  Big Smile

     

     

    Confession:  When I see those creepy windowless vans on the highway I always peek at the back windows to see if someone is in there trying to get out.  Embarrassed

  • They save gas so they can get more kids.

    On a serious note, I didn't even think about the quiet factor so they can sneak up on kids :(

  • This reminds me of the time my mom beat my ass for writing "help us" in the condensation of the back windshield.   To stay somewhat on topic, it was an '86 mercury cougar.

    LOL thanks for the laugh!

    When I was a kid (mid 80s) I was going to a hot springs resort with an Aunt and my cousins.  We drove by a ratty, rusty old van, I think it was a Ford, that had a bumper sticker saying, "Don't laugh mister - your daughter may be in here".  I thought at the time it was funny - my Aunt was not amused.  She lectured me for a good 20 minutes.
