some of you ought to like this:

I am probably the most progressive liberal person in the world and I
am personally offended by the sign,' said Janet Stillman, executive
director of the Wallingford Neighborhood Office. 'It's so blatant and
so in your face.'

Er, I though that's always been the whole idea....


That's some shrewd marketing. Been all over the local news for 2-3
days- every announcer and writer wants to be able to say or print
"bitch". A $100,000 media campaign wouldn't have etched this business
any more indelibly into the mind of the locals.

Just as easily could have been a boat store, sort of. Couldn't we say
that a "high maintenance bitch" is a complaint about the high amount
or high cost of maintenance associated with owning a boat?
