Ad on the back of a Chicago bus...
This is not a joke. I am not making this up.

I'm driving home from work and I find myself stuck behind a CTA bus. This is the ad that was on the back:

An African American man on a cell phone in the foreground. In the background is a rather cranky looking African America woman.

The man is saying, "Man, I sure am glad I got that syphilis test."

Which I think explains why the woman is so cranky.

God, I love the CTA. Hours of amusement. For all the wrong reasons.

2. Why do they always picture minorities in those ads?
When I was a kid, they used to have public service ads about lead paint - they always showed a little black kid eating paint off a cruddy windowsill. Even as a kid, I wondered why you never saw a white kid in the ads.

5. Don't you know?
It's "their" disease. I thought everyone knew that.

10. Do you want to hear about cranky and crazy all in one lump sum?
I have to exchange presents with a person that has never forgotten about the person that she hates. She doesn't stop talking about the person either. It has been ongoing since grade school and it's non stop.
Something must be in the water because she is a suitcase.

13. This woman calls people up
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 07:25 PM by GingerSnaps
And tells them to hate the person that she hates. She also sends emails and tells people to hate that person and she has another psycho that goes along with her to back her up. How miserable is that?

She taught her kids how to hate their dad which is one the most horrible things that a woman can do.

This one takes the cake. She has get togethers and the topic of conversation is the one woman that she hates.

I never let someone tell me who to like and whom to dislike. I would question the fact about how does she know all of this and why is she saying these things. I would also question the people that she hangs with about why their tactics are to want other people to hate someone.

I would wonder if the reason that she started to hate someone was out of jealousy because she enveyied the person and she couldn't be like her.

God, it's getter me so mad thinking about a piss poor sick woman that has to hate and keep hating for years.

Do you want a laugh. She tells people that she is a Democrat. LOL

11. I would call her a nut-case

No one holds grudges on someone that they actually don't know. She is a pathetic individual that needs psychiatric help really bad. :scared:
