Fake Bullet Proof Vests? Only Cool Kids Allowed.
Are You intimidated by a guy with a denim bullet proof vest, with pockets on the front? Boy I hope not.
I think it started with my generation, but the next generation is even more retarded! It must send an instant message that you have rocks in your head, even to a true street thug. Not just you local suburbanite. No, no, really.....You can be cool as long as you spend 89$ and show that you have never been shot at in your life.
In the Boston Metro, Pamela Grant was quoted saying, "A lot of people in sets [gangs] wear them." That's even more pathetic. Kids who are really getting shot at are wearing fake vests!? I think I'd hit the Army Navy store and pay 50$ for the real thing. "What these "sets" should be setting up, is a savings account for when social security runs out.", Beo said.
Co-owner of Hip Zepi USA, a blood sucking leach to ignorant hip-hop fascinated youth said, "We've sold 65 in two weeks. It's not just the gang members. It's Spanish kids, white kids. It's kids that want to look like a thug." Dude! Is there a sign up sheet for this. I have to look like a thug as soon as possible.
Oh, and for any homosexual thugs. You can get the vest in any assortment of colors, and styles. Such as, lambskin leather, durable nylon, and quality denim. Oh the choices, and soon to be on the shelves is the "almost out of style, but lets bring it out again" camouflage. Hooray.
The government should set up a war time law that sends anyone caught with one of these vest on, and found guilty of a crime, straight to Iraq where they can put it to use. See if foreign insurgents run from the style and quality of premium leather, and denim. They can strut their "thug" sex appeal through a sand storm at night, when they try to find a way out of the country.
It really is just an absolute joke, and unfortunately, the vast majority of youth in America see this as a fashion statement. When it really represents a symbol of the troubles they're going to have, when it's time to face the real world.

anyone caught buying or wearing one of these should instantly be stamped "retard" and shot square in the chest with an elephant gun. then they'll feel like a "thug" dead in the street where they belong.
Yikes E! Maybe you should try one on.:)
I have them in several different colors. They are all the rage in the streets of Newton.
I'd stay anonymous too then.
Must be L.B., he always complains about having to drive to my town.
HA HA...It wasn't me, but I was gonna pick you up one. You would look so phat rollin' through the ghettos of your town representin your set.

The only set I represent is the two between my legs, and that's a one member clan L.B. You can join it any time you'd like though.:)
Who the eff lives in Newton then?! Or was that actually a serious comment from a passerby.
God, can you imagine the Old Navy commercials they'll have on TV when they start selling them?
And they WILL start selling them.
Gap too.
Good night, B!
Boy I hope not.:) Later T.
Hey Beo! Thanks for the comments in my blog. As a result I checked out yours, I like what I have read so far!
That said, I have to say I very much agree with the stupidity of fake "raid vests" and the stupidity of wanting to look like a thug in general. Why would anyone idolize violence?
Besides, what if they get caught in some kinda hold up sometime, and a cop or someone else actually shoots them for whatever reason, thinking they'd be ok since they have a vest on? Yikes.
(p.s. sorry about messing up the comment pages and posting twice!)
No problem Brandie, thanks for checking it out. Yeah, topics like this I could go on forever about. So to stop from annoying my friends, I just write it all down here.
Hey, maybe the next fad will be riot gear with gang signs on them. There you go, I bet I could sell the kids on that.
The greatest experiment ever: Pay a well known rap artist huge amounts of money to wear tighty-whitey underwear on his head in a few videos, and then see what happens to the general MTV-brainwashed non-sentient sheep-like 12-25 year old bracket. Fruit of the Loom would be thug life in 5 seconds flat.
I'd be the first rapper to wear BVD's on my head and be A.k.a'ed "Skid Marx"
"S", how do you hide your blog like that? And why is it hidden from me? Are you going to be around this weekend?
the vest? it's the coolest part about being a self-proclaimed "thug." it means you can wear whatever you want without fear of retribution...
most of us go through any situations with said "thugs" doing our best to avoid eye contact.
btw, congrats to your friend on the air guitar championship! best of luck in LA!
I have Calculus homework, World of Warcraft, and a couple computers to fix for people we both know. I should be around, but I'm not coming over unless the air conditioning is on.
Don't worry; the blog will be back this weekend I hope.
Eyeball, to be perfectly honest, the only thing I'm afraid of is dissapointment. Eye contact can occur with any person I come across. The presence of a "thug" dosen't intimidate me unless I'm in a place I should have never wound up in, where something stupid could happen.
Luckily, I tend to not hang out where stupidity occurs, but I usually make more eye contact with "thug" wannabee's, because I find people fascinating. Especially ones that are searching for their identity. We all went through that, and I'm sure Rob will appreaciate the congrats for his stunning achievement.:)
"S", the A.C. is on, and we'll be working with radicants. You do know I replaced you with the daily dancer right? I did that as an intentional put down.
that's a good point. and, the idea i was trying to get across (although i must say i fell short) is that MOST people avoid the eye contact altogether. i, too, find people interesting.
in fact, i love to sit in restaurants, bars, airports, etc and watch people, try to guess what's going on in their lives...
it's funny, each person i've ever asked also plays some version of the "wonder about other people" game.
do you?
I do too Eye! I almost feel rude. Like I'm steping to far into their privacy. It's so funny to see stages of your own life in other people. Like you can see the things that they're going to need to learn in the future.
The scariest thing is that I never want to wind up like the older couples that eat in total silence. Not mentioning a word to each other save for, "Mmm hmm, yup, and no.":(
