this thread is worthless without pics. (there, i got that out of the way)
I was going to respond to your first line...but your 2nd paragraph makes you look dumber than anything I could have ever said. It's not being...
According to some people's logic, a few posters should be apologizing to you now because you were offended...since it's not people's intent, but...

I think it all comes down to intent... One of my pet peeves is how sensitive our society is getting. So sensitive that you can't even say "the...
Am I the only one that thinks it's more damaging to make a big deal of this? Was it in good taste? No, but it's certainly not racist! Guess...
