Bumper Stickers I Saw in Berkeley (Part IX)
Biking home from work today, I saw this beauty:
Animals are just little people in fur coats.
I think I know what the sticker was trying to say, but it sure picked a strange way to make its point.
First of all, the term “little people” is extremely insensitive. Come to think of it, I honestly don’t know the new term du jour, so maybe we just shouldn’t refer to them at all. In fact, it’s probably best not to talk about anyone shorter than I am. Regardless, I’m fairly certain that term is still right out.
And second, you’d think that animals would know better than anyone that Fur Is Murder. So what the hell are they doing with the coats?
Methinks that bumper belonged to someone who’s missed a few memos.

There’s a “Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face” joke lurking in this somewhere.
