George Carlin said "when fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jackboots. It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley."


I stole it from the cover of Jonah Goldbergs book "Liberal Fascism"

As for the LFC thing... I offer no excuses.

I dont find any humour in spousal abuse. YMMV.

I take it your google is broken.


Anyway, back on topic.....

“To the rest of you who this has so deeply affected, we truly hope you do something to help stop domestic violence. Truly honour the survivors that you are standing up for. Unfortunately, boycotting a hair salon will not accomplish this.”

Clearly they realise they made a mistake and are in full damage limitation mode, including offered to donate all proceeds from haircuts to the Edmonton Women’s Shelter if the customer mentions the ad...

I think it's wonderful that the salon is being spayed.

Best thing for these places.

I saw this was Alberta. Didn't look any further. Sooner we get rid of the province the better. Does it ever do anything not to embarrass Canada?

Please ask your enlightened neighbours to get that process started as quickly as possible, I doubt there will be many in Alberta that will take it seriously or care.:p
