2. This is so ridiculous
It's reminiscent of the Japanese people not being allowed to look at the emperor before WWII.

If I were a high school student marching in the parade, I would try to get my whole band to turn and look at the idiot in unison.

4. DU should be in the parade
We could march past the stand, and in unison turn, give the Nazi salute, and yell "Sieg heil!"

5. If you look at Bush you will turn into salt
Just like Lot's wife looking at Soddam. Do you think he's trying to warn us of something?

6. I'd Randy Moss him
Except I WOULD pull my pants down. Sure I'd be sent to Gitmo, but hell, you have to die of something!

8. He's such an ass,
perhaps that's what he deserves to see. As they pass by, each participant should turn around, drop trou, and show him a big old moon.

9. I would not go. Under any circumstances. Period.
All four of my kids (ages 9 to 19) expressed extreme disgust for the "coronation."

When I asked them if they would participate in the parade if their school did, their responses ranged from "Ewww, Icky!" to "Not only no, but FUCK NO."

I love those kids.

11. Don't they get that this makes protesting * easier?
If you can't look at him, doesn't that encourage people to turn their back on them?

13. So now he's a god/king like a Pharoah?
I have no problem not looking at him. My television will be off so no videos or sounds from the coronation enter my life that day. Since there are many of us who can't physically be there to turn our backs on him, we can at least refuse to watch this disgusting and vulgar display of the triumphal march of the conqueror of our land on our media boxes.

14. I am not worthy to gaze upon such a superior being. Besides,
I heard he can suck your soul out with just a glance.
