Congress spends quarter million to combat Goth culture in Missouri

[chequita guevara]

$273,000 spent in the state of Senate appropriator Christopher "Kit" Bond (R-Missouri) at the Blue Springs Youth Outreach Unit for educational training in "combating Goth culture."



Okay, so what's so dangerous about Goths that the Feds need to get involved?

You might laugh now, but you won't when hordes of screaming bearded filthy Goths attack and plunder your city raping all the women with their small horses! I mean that they attack and plunder your city with their small horses raping all the women.

In any case, I was intrigued by this:

"The problem is that you put 'technology' on something and people are mesmerized by it," says CAGW vice president David Williams. "That's one of the things they do with pork: Give it a really cool name, so how can you be against it?"

Well, is that really any worse than the regular budget critic practice - finding a program with a really silly name, so the typical reader would just think "Bah, the stupid things they're spending my money on" and move on, when thinking about it even a bit would result to seeing that hey, it looks stupid, but it actually is something useful and even necessary?

But, I agree, this Goth culture thing is just weird. And so is putting money to combatting it.

The new move, which is backed by many of Missouri's citizens, with include -

- Destruction of Goth literature and works or art.
- Goth camps
- Goth rehabilitation centres
- The public execution of Marylin Manson at 4pm in the village square

And Goth Trials. Anyone suspected of being a Goth will be dunked in the village well. Any suspects who drown will be released, any who survive will be burned.

God Bless You All.

That might be acceptable.

wow , you actually bothered to do all this photoshop dirty work ?

I cannot believe this crap. I am not Gothic, and I find Marilyn Mason to be too extreme in embracing Gothic culture -- not to mention that people call his screaming, signing.

But I do not understand why government officials cannot respect the Gothic culture by just letting it be.

The only good goth is a punk goth
