Huckleberries: Mixed messages give us culture war & peace
Huckleberries Thursday:
The signage on the back of a red Nissan Sentra with Kootenai County license plates offered mixed messages.
First, the hand-drawn sign painted in orange on the rear window read: “if you don’t Like our Culture Then go Back To your Country!!” The two exclamation points were underscored with a smiley face. That was the first conflicting message. Then, there was the matter of the two stickers on the bumper: “More yoga” and “Got peace?”
Deputy City Manager Sam Taylor spotted the vehicle at southbound Highway 41 approaching Interstate 90 as he was on the way to work this week Tuesday. He posted a photo of it on his Facebook page and commented: “Interesting conflicting messages on this vehicle today.”
My Huckleberry Friends tried to decipher the seemingly contradictory statements. Possibilities? The owner-operator is: A yoga instructor with an attitude. A transplant who is trying to fit in but doesn’t know what statement to make. Suffering from an extreme case of cognitive dissonance. Is messing with our minds.
The best guess? Someone hacked the back window. More here.
Question: Do you have a bumpersticker on your car? What does it say?
