In Florida, the rightwingnuts are doing everything they can to get government issued license plates that say “Choose Life”. The courts ruled that as rightwing as Florida is, you can’t have a political message on a license plate. “But it’s not a attempt at a anti-abortion message.” the rightwingnuts say. “We’re trying to encourage adoption.”
Well…
Why don’t you put “Support Adoption” on your fucking license plate and stop wasting my fucking tax dollars on your fucking rightwing agenda?
Thank you. Succinct and to the point. Profanity meant merely to enhance, and not overblown.
I give it a 9.8, but I’d watch out for the judge from Broward County…

TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING:
One month, one week, six days, 45 minutes and 45 seconds.
1721 cigarettes not smoked, saving $215.16.
Life saved: 5 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes.
And here I thought this was a thread about Trainspotting.
:::shrug:::
I can top that: I thought it was about “Frankie Goes to Hollywood!” LOL
Wasn’t that George Michael in the infamous “Wake me up” vid-clip who donned the “Choose Life” tee?

Actually, I want to say it was the other Wham! guy in the “Choose Life” T-shirt. Andrew Ridgeley, if I remember correctly.
Dr. J
Goddammit! You’re right. It was the Wham! guys who wore the “Choose Life” t-shirts, and FGTH wore the “Frankie Says RELAX” shirts!
::Slaps self on forhead::
Bonus points to DrJ for knowing the Wham guy who isn’t George Michael is in fact Andrew Ridgely. Had quite the obsession with him as a teen, lol.
On a purely tangential note, I took secret glee from watching several of my sexually conservative/religious friends dancing and singing along blissfully to FGTH songs about gay sex and fisting.
I actually had one of them try to argue with me about the meaning of the lyrics. Then I had to explain her favorite Jackson Browne song . . . I can be such a meanie.
On teh OP – I live in Florida, and I can’t believe anyone is actually falling for that thinly veiled crock of propogandizing. OTOH, anything that puts fewer FSU plates on the road has an upside.
How long do you think before someone makes a “Choose Life” car flag?
Wasn’t the song called “Jitterbug”? I know it’s a long shot, but that was how I heard it referred to once on the radio.
PS: If you plan on lighting me up for not telling you what station and who the DJ was, well, screw you.
Sadly, I know the answer to this. Worse yet, I remember some of the lyrics. It’s “Wake Me Up, Before You Go-Go”:
Wake me up, before you go-go
‘Cause I’m not planning on going solo
Wake me up, before you go-go, ah
Take me dancing’ tonight
Arrgghhh! Must - not - gag - on - saccharine…
…And now that song is stuck in my head. Great.
