For The Love Of Crotch Rockets
FOUND by Bettina Urcuioli in Bloomington, Indiana
Found taped on the parking garage door next to the Bluebird, a local music venue. It's written on the back of a reminder list for the club staff of things to put in the green room when a band arrives ... guessing one of them got fed up with the motorcycle club that meets there.

Why do they have to be homos? Most gay guys don't even wear chopper t-shirts.

Actually, I think that's what would be written on the t-shirt. Ala Chopper Reed.

When I read "biker trend" I immediately thought bicycling. Upon learning the error of my assumption I immediately thought of that scene in Super Troopers. "Ooohhh, biker... I'm an idiot."

I think a closeted guy who wants a bike but is scared to drive one wrote this .

I am FROM Bloomington Indiana and I think that's my old boss' handwriting. He writes stuff like that all the time. I would bet a wad of cash that he wrote that... I am going to call him and ask him.

I'm really sick of the homo=stupid idea. I wish this found hadn't even been posted. It's really offensive that stuff like this goes on. If it was the N word it wouldn't have been posted and would have been considered horrible - but the gay bashing happens every day with little consequence. It's ridiculous.

$15 dollars for a t-shirt!? Ridiculous.

Behn in clear support of all the black gays
Josie, I think I'm going to have to be the first to say that you're an utter, total, complete and absolute FAG.

Sorry, I don't mean "fag" as if I were referring to your sexual orientation, but rather as a general insult essentially synonymous with "moron."

In fact, the difference is similar to how "nigger" is offensive, derogatory and recalls painful memories yet "nigga" is simply a term for any ignorant person - regardless of colour.

Isn't the world lovely?

James in still paris
got to agree with Josie on this one, calling people gay/fag/homo as a synonym for idiot reinforces a derogatory view of homosexuality regardless of what people say about the meaning having changed. while racism is now the taboo it should be, homophobia (and misogyny) are still all too readily accepted.
+ June 03, 2007 02:14 PM +
Mickey B in in praise of Behn who clearly supports all of the black gays
hahaha Behn, that was the funniest found comment I've read in a while- you rock!

Toby in gay-town
I hate the gay=stupid langauage too, but just because the finder submitted it - and FOUND posted it - doesn't mean they are endorsing it. No need for censorship.
+ June 03, 2007 02:38 PM +
mea in asheville
i find that people also use the word "retarded" as a synonym for a person they find idiotic. it is so offensive, yet so accepted by society. i've heard pretty open-minded people throw around these words without even thinking about it.
+ June 03, 2007 04:19 PM +
Here and Queer
Well, Josie, would you rather that I run about saying things like, 'For f***s sake your a f***ing idiot!'? I don't believe you would like that too much, would you? So, I'm going to continue on my merry way calling stupid people, 'gay.' (Btw: I am a proud lesi. and find nothing wrong with this term. Nor do any of my gay friends.)
+ June 03, 2007 05:50 PM +
Finn in here and there
I would rather something like "For f***s sake your a f***ing idiot!" But that's primarily because I don't really find any of it that offensive. Really, people shouldn't get so bent out of shape over simple words. Sticks and stones right?
I do admit tho, that for friends, I will alter my speech for friends, but thats about it.

i've heard gay used as synonymous with "lame" meaning "un cool" but I've never heard gay-bashing terms used synonymously with intelligence based insults.
+ June 03, 2007 07:10 PM +

Okay maybe this interpretation of the note is obvious, which is why no one has stated it. But aren't the stupid idiots the upper middle class suburbanites who are into the biker trend? Primarily because these super-yuppies don't realize that biker clubs have long been a haven for homosexual activity.


Yes I realize my grammer is less than perfect.
+ June 03, 2007 07:35 PM +
James in paris
I'd rather hear any number of f***ing than feel like its fine for people to use what I identify as (lesbian) as a derogatory and hateful term. Language is a powerful tool and these words are so ingrained with a history of violent and oppressive bigotry that it worries me when people fail to take them seriously.
The homosexual community has worked to reclaim words like 'gay' and the continual use of them to mean 'stupid' is a complete undermining of this by a heterosexist society that seems to still view homosexuality as a threat.

Why does the homosexual community have to work on reclaiming the word "gay"? It used to mean 'merry' then it also meant 'homosexual' now it also means 'lame'. Gay/Merry doesn't = homosexual so Gay/Homosexual doesn't = lame. In fact society should work on reclaiming rainbows, I think the gays should give us back rainbows. Since when do the gays get to own all the rainbows? Rainbows belong to the world, stop bogarting the rainbows.

Seriously, sometimes you people make me want to stick my head in an oven.

How about we just call all the people wearing Orange County Chopper t-shirts "douchebags." Or would that be insulting people with hygeine problems?
+ June 04, 2007 10:15 AM +
Josie in Sidney (the cold one)
So, Behn, if I were to call you a "nigger" but say that I meant it as in "moron" you wouldn't be offended?

I don't care if you're black OR gay, I'm fully offended by the gay bashing regardless of what/who I am. I actually don't swearing offensive most days, I don't care if you go around saying f*** (which I put stars for cuz I assume it'd get taking out if I wrote it).

And ? in ?, well said :)

manda in the middle
holy cow! who knew such anger could be engendered over so small a thing...

which is the reason words like "gay" and "retarded" used in a derogatory way really ought to be put to rest, unless you *intend* to offend. in which case you're just an asshole anyway, so who cares ~ let your true colors show through.

you aren't going to change whether someone finds something offensive or not, so just let it go. use the words if you want to be offensive, or sensitize yourself to the world around you. your choice.

oh yeah, the whole reason icame back here.

howz come bettina got two finds up in such close range of each other? (june 4th and this day)

Red in another salem
Jenny in Winson Salem - AWESOME! I am on your side! And those with hygeine problems can just go buy a f**king toothbrush now and again. Then, they wouldn't be offended.

And what biker trend is sweeping the nation? I thought bicycles at first but that may just be because I'm from Oregon...
+ June 04, 2007 03:16 PM +
Flargy in Self-Righteous Bicyclists Central
Red, I live in New Haven, CT, and the trend has hit incredibly hard here, too. There are all these kids riding around on fixed gear bikes (I still can't understand the benefit of not being able to stop pedaling), wearing those little hats that apparently make you a better cyclist (or at least look cooler), pretending to be messengers (even though the only bike messenger in the whole city is my friend Wes, and he only delivers sandwiches, as opposed to documents and such).

Some of these guys are my friends, but as a whole, this "movement" is retarded. And gay.

Red in another salem
Hey, Flargy - do you ever get the urge to drive really close beside them? Just to remind them that the bike lane isn't as big as the entire f**king road.

But if your "friends" want an extreme sport - they need to check out ZooBombing. It's pretty fun to watch. (there will be TramBombing soon also).

it is more climatic, though, than if they had used the word biker instead of homo

Behn in Josie's backyard, being sarcastic
BOO!

As if you actually took my comment as anything but sarcastic?

I'm kind of shocked anyone took that as anything more than what it was - a joke.

Then again, everyone who thought it was serious made it that much funnier.

And just to clarify - "nigga" is the acceptable term and "nigger" is the racist slur - Mickey B seemed to pick up on this ludicrous example of an obvious contradiction simply serving for a chuckle. I sincerely apologize if I confused you, or anyone else for that matter.

Behn,

Okay, so if I sarcastically called you a "nigger," would it be any less offensive? Unfortunately some things are just rude regardless of intent.

I suspect this sign-maker is not, after all, my friend...

Sales technique could use some work too.

And exactly what of Chopper Tee's was he selling? Was $15.00 a good deal?

re:the homophobia implicit in this find--I still have to express some admiration for the sign-maker's apparent desire to get his ass kicked by as many sectors of the population as possible: bikers, homosexuals, and trendy yuppies all at once. What a fantastic brou-ha-ha that would be to watch.

Gay people, get a life. Ever since homosexuality became mainstream (RIP Charles Nelson Reilly), it's become a mission for many (usually the ugly ones) to run around looking for something to declare "homophobic", or compare their struggle to African-Americans or Jews. If you had gone through the prejudice, segregation, or murders those ethnic and religious groups had, I'd feel sympathy. But you like to bang members of your own sex. Big deal.

Red, Flargy-- Yeah, I thought they meant those douche bags (my apologies to those with hygiene problems, sorry to offend) with the bicycles too. They spend thousands on a bike and all the lame (my apologies to those who limp or cannot walk, sorry to offend) accessories and yet still don't know that when you ride a bicycle you ride *with* traffic, not against it.

You know what I think is the most retarded (my apologies to those who are slow learners, sorry to offend) about them? That even when riding their bike on the wrong side of the road, they still wear that stupid (my apologies to those lacking intelligence, sorry to offend) rear-view mirror attached to their helmet.

This made my night.

Mostly because I was just having a conversation with my friend Brandon, who is not only the last person in the world that you would imagine on a motorbike, but also tragically, tragically closeted.

And he was just telling me how bad he wants a bike, when I came across this. Whooooo boy.

Behn: I'd like to see you say "nigga" to a black person with your ridiculous rationale. You're a MORON. Was that clear enough?

This made me laugh. :)

@ blurp-- I agree. That would be awesome to watch.

@ Frank Lucci-- Don't be a fucking idiot. Gays have suffered all kinds of prejudice and have been victims of terrible hate crimes. There are parents who completely disown their 15-year-old over something the kid can't even control: their sexuality.

Behn in what seems to be lukewarm water
Dave and Josie:

I gave you a chance, I really did. I suppose it was naive of me to assume that writing
"I'm kind of shocked anyone took that as anything more than what it was - a joke. Then again, everyone who thought it was serious made it that much funnier,"
was enough to illustrate my insincerity in all my comments.

I love being called a moron by someone who doesn't bother to actually read what someone has written before responding. It was painfully apparent that none of it was sincere.

Just for the record, I have said "nigga" to a black person with no repercussions since they understood the contextual parody of the hip hop world - and been called both a "nigger" and a "nigga" without even having the appropriate skin tone.

That does not make them justified.
To continue with tradition, I'll assume you presumptuous satire slaughterers have it straight now.
