WTF.
Has the world turned on it's head? In a country full to the gills with cheap beer swilling, queen st stomping, rugby watching boofheads, there are some of us that cringe at the thought of herding with the masses and find refuge in activities that differ from the norm.
While a fairly significant number spend Saturday mornings chasing around after a leather egg, with 14 of their best mates, occasionally stopping to touch each other, some of us are finding expression in a less homoerotic manner than that of our large foreheaded counterparts.
It's safe to say that skateboarding and rugby are polar opposites, and thats how we'd like it to stay thanks.
So I find it disconcerting that some marketing genius has decided to combine the two in what can best be described as the most embarassing thing to happen to skateboarding in this country. I don't think I'm being dramatic, the last thing we need is more rugby heads wearing pricepoint skatebranded teeshirts produced by 'skate companies' that used to have credibility.
I don't wanna see them stomping around, up and down high st, in and out of Paris Texas with their big hands and their small heads, in logo's that were cool for the last time in '97. Stick to Ed Hardy, Mr Williams, don't you know tattoo's are cool now?
Leave skateboarding alone, we don't want you.
I'll let Zeb Beall say the rest.
"so lets just get this straight....
when i was a lad at school, being a skateboarder was frowned upon, everyone in school called us bunnies and gave us shit about our clothes and the way we talked and the music we liked...they basically hated us, especially the boofhead rugby c*nts...
now rugby is so boring they (the boofheads) have to have skate demos to attract more fans or keep their existing fans entertained while the meatheads have rubdowns and drink special water????? " |
