You Is Dumb
You Is Dumb
Regular readers of this humble “weblog” will undoubtedly recall the fact that we, the crack young staff of “The Hatemonger’s Quarterly,” detest bumper stickers. As far as we’re concerned, these vehicular eyesores are ineluctably moronic.Recently, however, a senior editor here at “The Hatemonger’s Quarterly”—let’s just call him “Chip”—spied a bumper sticker that he found rather fetching. In fact, “Chip” believes that it is a real treasure.
The sticker in question reads:
Ignorance and Arrogance Is Not a Foreign Policy
It’s strikingly brilliant, is it not? “Ignorance and Arrogance Is Not a Foreign Policy.” No they isn’t, is they?
As far as we, the crack young staff of “The Hatemonger’s Quarterly,” are concerned, if you are going to accuse someone of “ignorance,” you ought to demonstrate at least passing familiarity with the basic tenets of subject/verb agreement.
Naturally, dear reader, the chucklehead who was sporting this bumper sticker had a good laugh at such presidential gaffes as “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” Awfully funny, aren’t it?
We’re glad that the character with the “foreign policy” bumper sticker is too darn smart to make such errors.
Just in case (s)he isn’t, dear reader, we figured that we could sell her some similar bumper sticker slogans. You know the kind we mean: The sort that offers its owner the opportunity to seem superciliously superior, whilst amply demonstrating said owner’s brazen idiocy.
If you’re desperate to demonstrate your fearsome mental acumen, but are actually dumber than Jessica Simpson, we think you’ll enjoy these bumper sticker gems:
Peace Are Patriotic
Don’t Blame I, Me Voted for Kerry
Bush Lied, Millions Had Done Dying
and
Somewhere in Texas Their Are a Village Missing There Idiot.
