Why don’t we all just mutually agree to have a snit fit? To go crazy and not push back from the Cliff of Absurdity?
A growing number of Americans have already taken the plunge.
The Arizona law aimed at curtailing illegal alien activity in the state has been met with praise and criticism in heaping helpings of emotion usually reserved for The Big Four of Controversial Topics: Religion, Politics, Capital Punishment, Abortion.
Various groups are calling for a boycott of the state; the Fox News shriekers, with Glen “Always Silly But Getting Sillier” Beck leading the charge, praise the governor and legislators for their foresight and wisdom. In many cases, it’s a re-creation of Dumb and Dumber.
Beck used to be entertaining – like Rush Limbaugh in his day – but has become a caricature of his former self – like Rush Limbaugh. Beck’s newest anti-Obama and anti-anything-Democrat is … well, giggling. The man actually giggles on national TV!
Illegal immigration is a problem and has been for decades. It is not a new problem, but one which has become a target of the far-far right, which views any block that is not considered conservative as a threat.
One Florida company has developed a product to assist illegal Hispanics in the U.S. to “fit in.” Zubi Advertising has developed the Gringo Mask, which allows – according to product information – an illegal “to put your best white face forward.”
The company has the masks in two varieties: A blue-eyed sandy hair-colored white guy or a green-eyed, blonde-haired white woman. The product guarantees that “you won’t look like a suspicious, potentially illegal alien” and notes that “green card not included.”
The firm is not making light of the problem with illegal immigration, according to the company founder, but intends to start a dialogue about the absurdity of the Arizona law. The agency is one of nation’s leading Hispanic ad agencies.
And, if Arizona has not heaped its plate with enough self-imposed-grief, the state’s notorious sheriff, Maricopa County’s Joe Arpaio, is insisting Mexico officials apologize for an ad which appeared Arizona’s largest newspaper recently.
The ad, which Arpaio described as “threatening,” shows a man wearing camouflage clothing peering through binoculars with the words: In Sonora we are looking for people from Arizona.”
“Are they threatening us?” the dim-bulb sheriff asked. “Do they not want us to go to Mexico for tourism?”
Duh!
The same questions could be asked for Arizona’s absurd attempt at corralling Hispanics who “appear” to be illegal immigrants.
