lol poor cover design
also, the prize should include a new car

J0hn, are you aware that
a) in America, there are vast numbers of people who like to put large collections of small lights with a Christmas holiday theme all over their lawns and houses
and
b) in the contemporary United States, there are vast numbers of people who have very little knowledge of history, and that the knowledge of religious fundamentalists in the interior West about the pre-civil rights era South might be more diminished than most?

what are these people saying - i'm going to burn my own house down? these might be dumb questions, but they're no dumber than the notion that a cross wrapped in holiday lights rather than with the lights fused to the cross is a vague, subtextual, public advertisement of the owner's enjoyment in appropriating racist symbols. or are you suggesting that someone would buy this for intimidation purposes. what are the mixed-race neighborhoods you imagine being the target market here?

Gabbneb, the idea of you schooling J0hn on these points is the best laugh I've had all day.

that's kind of the point here, Ned

sorry I'm not an itinerant OC/midwestern/Southerner, it's such a personal failing

Now I am SUPER doubting my take on this, because gabbneb is making sense to me. I wish it were coming from someone else, I really do, but...stopped clocks, once, etc.

fyi i'm a south carolinian born n raised who went to school with the kids of grand dragons and when i saw this i didnt think kkk

gabbneb is still a dick tho

what are the mixed-race neighborhoods you imagine being the target market here?

waht

oh nvr mind, I get it, at first it parsed like "mulattos be buyin' racist crosses!"

I gotta agree with ethan here that KKK was not the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw this.

I dunno what the people who buy them will be thinking, but the first thing that struck me was the KKK angle, and I was pretty gobsmacked.

whether or not it is burning cross like enough is debatable... I don't give a shit what the intent behind it was

"pre-Civil Rights era South." Like nobody burns crosses for racial intimidation any more.

^^^ this, yes, exactly.

yeah guys lets have the bottle opener argument again

fwiw I agree as well, which is why my comments have been less "how could you find this racist?" and more "I didn't find it racist, now let's laugh at the rest of the stupid shit on this site"

I think that lit lawn cross is along the same lines of accidental racism as "i.Beat Blaxx"

gabbneb to anybody who finds lit crosses on lawns a little wtf after a minute's reflection: "it's cool, they didn't mean anything by it"

that lady's fake eyebrows always distract me from the racism

gosh you're right gabs, a lit cross on a lawn in no way recalls crosses burning on lawns, it's just a bottle opener after all

"Without this cool wax platter Tallahassee I picked up for 8 dollars American at a beat basement goes by the name of 'The Cake Shop,' I never would have seen so deep into the dark, deranged heart of proletarian America."

J0hn, don't get mad about that, join me in laughing at someone who would actually use the sentence "Without this cool wax platter [insert record here] I picked up for 8 dollars American at a beat basement goes by the name of '[insert record store here],' I never would have seen so deep into the dark, deranged heart of proletarian America."

i.beat blaxx is still kraken me up
