Leave the Citgo sign alone, you grandstanding jingoist schmuck!

The BBQ Pit
1

One of Boston’s cherished landmarks is an immense neon sign advertising an oil company, Citgo. It’s been looming over Fenway Park’s famed Green Monster for decades. Its light shines at night over the Charles River.

Its continued existence as a landmark has been threatened before:

In fact, Citgo sank a million bucks into refurbishing the sign just last year, and it’s looking great.

But now the sign’s being threatened again. Not by its owners, no – but by a jingoistic fuckwad member of the city council. Whipped to a fever pitch of patriotic fury by Chavez’s horrific attack on the leader of the Free World at the UN, this dipshit demagogue wants to tear the sign down. Why?

Jerry, you gutter-born whelp of a pustulent crack whore, you pandering shitlicking argument for eugenics, leave that sign alone! Go sell city contracts, go get another nephew into a no-show job, go to hell and don’t collect $200, you chest-thumping coprophagic clotbrain!

Fucker.

Excellent Pitting. I could see the Citgo sign from my dorm room. There are plenty of places to put flags, but only one Citgo sign. Why does that shmuck hate Boston?

Fuck Citgo, fuck Chavez, and fuck the “landmark.” Nothing has been holy in baseball since they put lights in Wrigley. Deal with it. :smiley:

Don’t hold back, ETF. Tell us how you really feel. And whazza “Fenway”?

about eight pounds.

Gotta make it look like an accident…

:dubious:

Depends whether they’ve been feeding it on Fenway Franks.

And isn’t that just typical of the average lefty moonbat politician, always ready to blame some big corporation for everything thats wrong, from pollution to health care, they’re always looking to blame some innocent corporation…

He’s what? Yer shitting me Its owned by who? But he’s a Marxist! *** WTF!!***

Now matter how fast you run, the wierdness runs faster.

First, dey took down the mother fucking Citgo sign. And I said nutt’n.
Then, dey came after my mutha, so I planted some lead in they heads, know what I’m sayin?

Why am I doing Jersey talk in a Boston thread? THAT’S the real question here, yo.

Wicked funny, I’m tellin ya.

This was just weird. I mean, the guy’s *from *Boston. His job is dependent on the continued support of Bostonians. He should know: you don’t fuck with the Red Socks.

Then again, this is a good canary in the caves type of thing. If jingonism becomes stronger than Sox-Mania in the city of Boston, we’re a fascist state. I mean, Hitler wished he commanded the kind of fervor and loyalty the Red Sox do.

11

Well, to be fair, this year’s season is in the toilet. Less risk in annoying the Red Sox Nation.

Someone is about to rush in and point out that you can’t really blame Bush for that.

13

Damn straight, luci – it’s Clinton’s fault.

This Citgo sign is on private property, right? Seizing someone’s sign on private property and replacing it with a national flag sounds like the sort of thing some kinda Communistic lefty pinko Marxist–you know, like that Chavez guy down in Venezuela–would try to pull.

If Jerry McDermott wants to put up a great bit American flag, he can put it up over his house. Or buy a suitable location. Or hell, he can even put one up over City Hall.

15

Hey, do a Christo-style wrap of City Hall? Great idea! Place is an eyesore anyway, unless your taste runs to brutalist upside-down ziggurats.

16

Hey, if Jerry McDermott wants I’ll head on down to Pasadena (TX) to liberate the Lyondell Citgo refinery. Full gasoline tanks for everybody who joins in. Who’s with me?

17

Jesus that Citgo sign is ugly. I guess the only thing that could possibly look tackier in its place is a giant American flag, though, so fuck this guy.

We’ve caught an imposter! A spy from New York in our very midst! Into the Charles with him!
