is it just me?

or is the following slogan i saw today on a sign advertising children's summer sport camps a little strange?

slogan: "IF NOTHING CHANGES, NOTHING CHANGES. CHANGE IF YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD."

WOTTHAFUK?!?

- firstly: "if nothing changes, nothing changes."

der.

- and second: "change if you know you should."

just who are these happy campmongers implying needs to change?

are they saying parents should change by sending their kids to hell summer sport camp instead of letting them sit at home all day through summer eating candy and watching violent movies?

or are they calling on the poor, innocent little fatty boombas of australia to check themselves before they wreck themselves?

i'm confus-ed.

it certainly seems to me that whoever made this sign could have used the help of the sloganizer.

and possibly a good, hard kick in the groinal region.

won't somebody please think of the children.

While I was away, I had an argument with a 97yo man (as you do) who told me, "You'll be looking for a job in 10 years."

The fuck?

That makes NO sense.

What do I care about 10 years?

What was his freakin' point?

*fantasises about giving groinal kick to cranky old man*

P.S. My friend said, "I'm surprised you resisted the urge to say, "Yeah? Well, you'll be dead in 6 months."

My friend is a terrible person and I, in no way, snickered behind my hand at her offensive sense of humour.

P.P.S. Don't go changin'.

I'm pleased to see that my entreaties to groinal violence are being met and matched La Nadine.

I think it goes without saying that I second your "kick in the groinal area" sentiments.

What exactly is "change if you know you should" all about?

Perhaps it implies that if your kids go to the camp they'll be able to deliver the sort of Chuck Norris roundhouse-to-the-nuts we flabby parents can only dream of.
