I saw the most fucking horrendous thing today

[cloudwalking]

So I was at work, and it was really slow (as in, like no customers in the store). I was cleaning the front of the store, and the whole storefront is basically windows. You can see a lot of the parking lot, and there's a lane so you can drive right up to the curb.

I was dusting the very front table and by chance I looked up and happened to see this huge truck drive by. I'm not really sure how to describe it but it looked like some cross between a pickup and a medium sized U-Haul. It was decently sized.

Well, at this point I nearly puked my guts up. Because on the side of the truck the dumbfuck who owned it had plastered this printed white vinyl shit, and printed on it was a probably 6-foot tall photo  of a decapitated, aborted fetus, covered in blood.

Along with the words "ABORTION IS MURDER"

I audibly said "Awww what the HELL!" because I was taken aback, but then I ran to the window because at the same time I was thinking "WTF is this shit, can this even be legal?"

I saw the truck driving down the lane and sure enough my eyes hadn't been playing tricks on me. I wanted to puke.

Who the fuck does that?!?! Seriously!!! Jesus Christ.

Well I saw the truck turning towards the road by the parking lot and on the back of the truck is plastered "SOUTH DAKOTA" and then some fucking Bible verse. So I'm thinking to myself, great, this dumbfuck South Dakotan is going to loop around and come into the store.

Thank god, he didn't, because if he had come in I would have seriously had to resist the urge to blow up in his face and probably get fired.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU PUT A PHOTO LIKE THAT ON THE SIDE OF A TRUCK. JESUS FUCK JESUS JK:LDSJLDF;fdsjk I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY MIND.

Didn't he think that would be OFFENSIVE to someone? Just MAYBE people don't want to see that shit?!?!?!

Why don't I paint swastikas all over my car and post a picture of a dead Jew on it, do you think that would fly? Of course fucking not.

Goddamn, it makes me want to hit someone/something. Why are people so fucking stupid?!

[BlueTsunami]

I thought this was a thread about Bz's picture

Its also ironic considering a person can get pulled over for a much smaller bumper sticker calling Bush an ass and yet you've got this wonderful truck making its rounds? That truely is horrible

[Phoenix Dark]

Abortion is a shocking practice, and it's no suprise why some would use this as an angle for their interests. Everytime I go to the barber on Saturdays I see a group of people holding similar signs. That's their right in this country meh

Plastering a picture of an aborted fetus to the side of a truck is to much though

No, anybody who does this should be sterilized.  OMG THE ELECTIONS.

[MrAngryFace]

Sounds pretty horrible.

So... not Bz's picture?

Yeah but this guy wasn't protesting, he was SHOPPING

It's my right not to have to be subjected to images like that, as well. Like I say, let me plaster a truck with pictures of dead Jews or naked women and see how long I get to drive around for.

I don't want to see a picture of a decapitated fetus. Sorry if at work was the LAST PLACE I expected to see one

[xnikki118x]

That's disgusting. I would have been really grossed out and pissed off about that, too. You're right, you wouldn't get away with having pictures of dead Jews and swastikas all over your car.

I'm all for free speech, but that's extreme. Further, people driving near that truck might be so overwhelmed by such an image that it causes car accidents. Kinda like that bug that was painted to look like a pussy a while back, weren't people getting into accidents because they were staring at it, and it had to be painted over?

[G The Resurrected]

Thats pretty fucking sick hope someone pulled that fucker over.

[Polari]

I heard Bush announce Saddam was going to be put to death a political rally and the crowd erupt into cheers.

Good job showing us who the real barbarians are, Americans.

Bad analogy. Pics of dead Jews would insinuate the advocation of killing them. Now if it was Holocaust based (with some message like "...this is what happens when dictators are left unchecked" or something like that it would be different, but still offensive visually.

Posting pictures of aborted fetuses is usually meant to make a political shock statement. Basically saying "you advocate THIS?" It's a rather crude way of presenting ones views, but that's the point of the visual. It's supposed to knock you off your feet and force you to acknoledge. Perhaps I've seen it so much I don't mind it now.

My problem is not the pics, it's the fact that many anti abortion protesters use fake pictures to get their point across. There's simply no point in showing fake pics when the real thing is even more disturbing, and effective (from their perspective).

Lol another foreigner generalizing Americans. 

[Van Cruncheon]

how about i cover my truck with pictures of dead iraqi babies, PD, or the images of our soldiers torturing folks

[Phoenix Dark]

I assume this would be making a political statement against the war, correct? Who am I to say you can't do that?

[Polari]

You voted him in, twice. I'm not going to throw "Americans" around in reference to Pat Robertson, but you're on your own with Bush.

Well of course, as would the photo of the baby if it hadn't said "ABORTION IS MURDER" right beside it.

My point is that there are a lot of people who find that image extremely offensive. And as nikki pointed out, and I thought about this too, it could be potentially hazardous to others on the road. The image was extremely graphic.

I was too young to vote, don't blame me.

How does a pic of dead fetuses with the statement "abortion is murder" advocate abortion?

your point is moot

[Van Cruncheon]

oh cloud, phoenix dark is a chronic contrarian; arguing with him boots nothing but a headache and a little awe at his stubborn desire to disacknowledge common sense

[Phoenix Dark]

I disagree. It doesn't take much to realize pictures of dead fetuses is a pro-life tactic for the far right. Honestly, if it didn't have any words would you think it was advocating the killing of fetuses?

[Van Cruncheon]

it's visual terrorism

[Phoenix Dark]

it's visual terrorism

What? Explain please

[Van Cruncheon]

it's inflicting an image many people do not wish to see on them against their will, and can honestly damage a person psychological well-being

[BlueTsunami]

it's visual terrorism

What? Explain please

Its basically the same stunt PETA pulls by passing out pictures of mutilated animals. Yet this one is more obnoxious since its not even part of a protest, well, an individual protest against abortion that everyone is seeing.

Its still using a gruesome image to force someone into an opinion.

[Phoenix Dark]

Should visual terrorism be outlawwed? If you were a policeman for instance, would you stop this truck, force him to take down the poster, and maybe ticket him?

[The Fake Shemp]

Phoenix Dark is bringing stupid back.

Can you honestly say that if someone drove by your house right now with a gigantic picture of a mutilated, bloody dog on the side of their truck, that you would just say "Oh! That person must be an extreme animal rights supporter." and blow it off?

It's an offensive image, bar none. Not everyone is going to make the association that it's tied to some opinion or cause.

If someone was displaying a picture of a woman's cancerous breasts to raise breast cancer awareness, how long do you think that would go on for. BUT THEY WERE SUPPORTING A CAUSE!

[BlueTsunami]

WHY MUST PHOENIX ALWAYS PLAY THE DEVILS ADVOCATE!

I thought that was Shakes job

Another bad analogy. I think it's safe to say abortion is far easier for this issue of shock political statements. When you see that, you know automatically what's going on. This cannot be said of every single issue, such as animal rights.

I'm not saying I fully agree with the tactic, but I see where they're coming from. It's not like this is the first time this has been done throughout the history of political statements

[BlueTsunami]

Whether or not the cause is just or not that image is just indecent to place in such a public space like that. Thats all there is.

[Mandark]

If I'm not allowed to attach a huge billboard image of a naked Jennifer Connelly atop the Mandarkmobile, no way this is kosher.

Longer post later, prolly.

How is it a bad analogy? I'm just flipping back at you what you've put forward. Not everyone associates such an image with a certain cause. This is a niche group of crazy fanatical people, here.

By your logic, I should be able to publicly display any offensive image, and assume people will associate it with some sort of opinion or point I am trying to get across.

If only you could man, my day would lighten up just because I caught a glimpse of your ride

When the parameters are clear cut, yeah. I believe they are, more so than most issues, with abortion

Of course I'm not one. I don't sell drugs, pop glocks, or chop up automobiles.

That I have a problem with African Americans? Yes. I've never seen one that didn't like watermelon.

The sad thing is whenever I go to my family reunion it's filled with negroes. I don't know why.
