CULTURE: The colors on our shirts, they complement each other, they just want to fit so, so close together...

WNYC, New York's public radio broadcaster of Great Note and Merit, covered the never-tired issue of the Christian rock music scene in its Monday programming. Nothing really timely or newsworthy there of course, because, honestly, it nearly goes without saying that this whole phenomenon has been covered and examined and draped in media profiles for interminable years on end...well before the world had come to know and subsequently forget a heroic warrior of God named Scott Stapp.

No, the only reason to cite WNYC's look at the matter was their invokation of the following image from someone's Flickr account:



While the image was probably not meant to inherently convey any idea of harsh, arch Blue-Stater comedy, you have to wonder what this particular couple is thinking when the image's caption explains:

This sort of fashion statement, apparently, is the source for that beloved trend of teenaged pregnancies. I mean, weddings. Teenaged weddings, I'm sorry.

Because first you have all this guilty, guilty sex, and then you're all, like, pregnant and shit, and then you're all like, "Oh, God, I sort of care what you think, but what will Mom and Dad think? What's that you say? Marry Randy? Thanks, God! You're always there for me!"

We finally agree on something.

I think it's pretty well settled that whenever the phrase "______ Rocks!" appears on a t-shirt/coffee mug/bumper sticker/etc, that whatever that purported _______ is, it really does *not* "Rock!"

what about "i'd rather be ________!" ?

Kiss Rocks? Why would somebody want to kiss rocks?

"KISS Rocks!" is a perfect example to prove my hypothesis.

Nice 'Buffy' reference.

What about "Ayers Rocks" ? I might wear a shirt that says that...

truth of the matter is...most of these kids taking chastity pledges wind up fucking in one way or other before marriage or they become serial killers...

Beer. Foamy.

i concur

i think he also scored an arm around the shoulder just for wearing it that day!
