The Wal-Mart Greeter
In the spirit of the current "lojack your kids" thread:
-----
A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walks into Wal-Mart with
her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at them all the way through
the entrance. The Wal-Mart Greeter says, "Good morning and welcome to
Wal-Mart. Nice children you've got there. Are they twins?"
The ugly woman stops screaming long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't!
The oldest one, he's 9 and the younger one, she's 7. Why the
Hell would you think they're twins? Do you really think they look alike?"
"No", replies the greeter, "I just couldn't believe you got laid twice!"

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
