Wear a pink shirt and die?

A few months ago, my mother and her best friend went out to eat. They both happened to be wearing pink shirts. As they walked out of the restaurant, a very nasty looking woman aproached them and said "youre wearing pink, youre gonna die!" My mother and her friend ignored her, yet she kept insisting "youre gonna die!" all while pointing a finger at them as if it were a pistol. The lady then got into her beat up heap of a car, saluted, and drove off.

Cut to last week...

I was in Daytona with my mom, my grandmother, and my best friend. We rounded a street corner and waved and honked at a man and a woman holding signs saying "stop the BU-ll-SHit" and "who would jesus destroy?" Mystery solved. My mom and her friend were assaulted by some idiot war-lover and all the time my mom and her friend had no idea that they were standing up for whats right all along.

Slap me on the wrists if this is a waste of space, but i just thought it was a neat story to share with you all.

...besides I like pink...hot pink especially on women

Never wear a red shirt and khaki pants to target. :)

BTW, that may have come from Pat Robertson. I wore a pink shirt to the hospital when I had some tests done a few weeks ago and was told by the tester they saw Pat Robertson telling everyone to challenge those "pink shirt people". You know those poor dolts have to be upset. The gays stoled the rainbows and now the terrorists stoled pink!! :)

They should sue!

mystery solved?

please explain to this tired and obviously dense mind.

and welcome to du.

It turned out that Code Pink is a women's anti-iraqi invasion group. I realized that the street-corner protestors i saw had a sign that said "wear pink for peace: code pink" (an obviously important detail i left out). So i recalled how the crazy woman saluted to my mom and her friend and i put 2 and 2 together and figured she was some batshit crazy pro war lady who knows about code pink while my mom and friend were totally oblivious. They both happen to hate the war...

and thanks for the welcome!

but who is Madea Benjamin? I looked them up and couldn't find anything. Chances are, my mom hasn't a clue. She's oblivious to political issues aside from the fact that she absolutely can't stand duhbya.

Mission Statement:

CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities.

With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODEPINK women and men seek to activate, amplify and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence.

sure she will love Madea. Thanks.

With informed people like you we will win this war, one battle at a time.

Was the only one that didn't make the connection. I'm glad I'm not losing my mind.... yet.

My brain is racing right now and i have no idea why.

But thanks for explaining what the deal was.
