We have a commercial that occasionally appears here for a Gun and Knife show... it opens up with a somewhat attractive woman holding a pump 12-gauge shotgun, saying something like, "Sure as shootin'!" Then she pumps the shotgun... in a way not-so-distant from the pumping action involved with another sort of "gun." There are also some gun/shooting catalogs with the same sort of "monthly gun hottie" motif on their cover.

There are layers of meaning there that I can't even begin to interpret.

Actually that is cute. Until she gets shot. By someone. (I'm not going to name names)

The main difference between the first image and the second is the first is a joke. The second isn't.

The first isn't quite a joke actually. It's the military demo'ing their hardware to the kids.

Apparently it is a Military Base Open House. A proud father is showing his daughter what he does at work. I imagine that she is very proud of her father.

The already-wounded Vietcong dude that Kerry shot in the back was reportedly carrying a bazooka thingy. Though nobody saw it. But Kerry swears it wasn't a civilian that he shot in the back. Even though he later admitted (and bragged about) participating in similar war crimes.

The unbridled hate that americans have during the election season never ceases to amuse me.

Vote Nader! The lesser of 3 evils

Spliffdaddy · Oct 17, 2004, 11:00 PM

Nader is worse than Kerry and Bush combined.

He's the personification of unbridled idiocy.

On the flip side of that... parents get tired of dealing with their kids and tell them to go watch a movie or play their game boy, PS2, or one of their million other toys they purchased for their perfect little child.

Spheric Harlot · Oct 18, 2004, 07:38 AM

See - an awful lot of European (German, specifically) kids were brought up with an abhorrence of all things military, in the conviction that machines that kill are not suitable material for kids to play with (though my parents apparently decided that Star Wars action toys are sufficiently removed from reality to qualify...).

I was taught that a military is a necessity, not something to be proud of.

We tried that pride thing for a while, and it didn't really work out too well.

Your country is discovering that, too, I hope.

No no, he should be glad he's unfamiliar with it. But I can understand why your post seemed...odd...to him.

The pride thing has worked out for us for awhile now.

I don't see this as a popularity contest.

We aren't in High School.

American isn't going to buy that cool coat the world is wearing and thinks is cool just to fit in. American doesn't like that coat.

Learn some tact Harlot.

I know why that happened. It had nothing to do with Pride.

Nice try though. Well not really. It was actually pathetic.
