Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you...Unfortunately though the right not to be offended does not and should not exist, because it is trumped thoroughly by the right
of people to freely express themselves.I humbly suggest you take a read of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (adopted on December 10, 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations).
Article 1.
* All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.Article 3.
* Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.Article 18.
* Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.Article 19.
* Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.Article 30.
* Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.yrs fraternally

If they're called Satans then they're probably suppositories, as in 'Get thee behind me, Satan'.

The Gibson Girls...
I just read Pattern Recognition by William Gibson which is a interesting view of what advertising and trend setting might be like.
@ Bart - the follow up Spook Country is a good read too
I wonder what happened to those mooted movies of Pattern Recognition (Dir: Peter Weir?) and Neuromancer?ah well Mr Gibson's blog has some fun stuff nonetheless - love this take on how Lovecraftian is Barcelona (actually Jack Womack's take it seems) enjoy...

I think we've just invented the Foucaltian slip.

Trackies and quatrainers...
Also, what club are you getting into in trackies?
I see in our local mall - The Palms, that oasis of over-consumption - that apparently the Jumpsuit is back, and they're seemingly strip mining '70s Vogues for "New Looks" as well ...
Does that count as an own gaul, then?

Pointing Percy at the proletariat...
All to soon, the words of Shelley have relevance when they look in the mirror:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"my recollection is that Ozymandias was legless at the time this two foot high plinth was discovered...

Simon, I'd figure it's DC Comics property...
created in 1955 by Otto Binder and Curt Swan - so well after Joe and Jerry - and really part of the expanded origins - back when they were "superfying" everything in sight. Thus there was a Legion of Super-Pets... and of course the SCPA Space Canine Patrol Agents! I'm more of a Streaky the Supercat kinda guy myself.... purrryrs anthropomorphically
