I just love having to drive past idiots every day...

[PVnRT]

Courtesy Kwik Stop Fuels of Terre Haute, Indiana. And they've put up far, far worse than that. I'm thinking I need to chronicle their bullshit this election season; I can only hope they give me an equally stupid one for Hillary's stop in town Thursday.

[DarkTirade]

1. Well damn, I was planning on calling one of the candidates a meanyhead poopypants on a sign today.

But I think I've just been one-upped before I even got a chance. :(

[Elidor]

2. Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick

Yes. You should document the atrocities.

[TZ]

3. Well interesting I see the misspelling of Kwik

Is pretty indicative on that sign there. You are...not your.

[ThomCat]

6. I would not expect much literacy or intelligence

from people who honestly think Barak Obama is a racist.

Where they hell have they been while real racists have been in power? x(

[TZ]

17. I have a sneaky suspicion

That the people who posted that ARE racist..(I had a friend who went to school in Bloomington, Indiana, and once you got away from the school, the KKK was VERY active)

[PVnRT]

7. Well, there are Kwik Trips in Wisconsin

Not affiliated with these bozos. Kwik Trips are great, no fee ATMs, clean bathrooms, nice stores.

[youthere]

4. It would be a damn shame if someone were driving by and...

lost control of their vehicle and just happened to wipe out that sign. A damn damn shame I tell you.

[PVnRT]

5. Hey, I just got a new car

And my insurance is finally low again.

But if you or someone else has a beater car you don't care about, I certainly wouldn't tell you that they are located on the road that was formerly U.S. 41, in North Terre Haute. That would be bad of me.

[youthere]

15. If people knew they were located on FORMER HWY 41 in NORTH TERRE HAUTE...

someone might be crazy enough to DRIVE INTO THAT SIGN, and we certainly don't want to encourage that.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Reporting it to Kwik Trip corporate could be worth doing.

It might be independently owned, and thus nothing probably would happen, but it could be a corporate one - in which, I bet they'd love to hang the manager.

[Brigid]

11. Idea!

Like you said, it might be worth trying. After all, some potential customers might take one look at that and decide to take their business elsewhere. I know I would.

[PVnRT]

14. They're not affiliated

I would not tarnish Kwik Trip's wonderful hot dogs and no fee ATMs with these jackasses.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Whoops - my mistake. I grew up in Wisconsin, so I have Kwik Trip of the brain.

I didn't read close enough to see yours is a Kwik Stop. I saw "Kwik" and my brain just put in "Trip".

Is it a chain, though? If it's a chain, they might have a corporate office that would care

[PVnRT]

30. I'd have to look

I think it's just local, but they may have more than one outlet.

[Chan790]

32. May not matter...

write the email anyways, acting like you don't know they're not affiliated and how offensive you find the sign. Any large corporation is going to have lawyers on-retainer to protect their public persona. ("If you could be confused, how many other people are?") Same industry, similar name...the bar for trademark infringement is very low.

[EstimatedProphet]

36. It's an independent business

[HEyHEY]

9. Well, thanks, I know where NOT to fill up in Indianna

[youthere]

21. I heard they sell Kimchi too.

[PVnRT]

29. They sell fuel oil, not gasoline

So, just don't place your next heating oil order with them.

[DS1]

10. corrected

my mistake

[Brigid]

12. What?

I hope you don't mean what I think you mean.

[DS1]

18. It didn't

I thought that's where Nichols lived, but that's where McVeigh went to prison. Had a brain snafu

[Zornhau]

13. Man I miss the 'Haute soo much!

:eyes:

[Brigid]

16. I take it you lived here at one time?

It's somewhat better than it was at one time, but you're really not missing much. :eyes:

[LynzM]

39. Zornhau grew up about 40 minutes from the 'Haute, and ....

we lived there from 2002-2004. I miss the public library and the nice park. Um... that's about it. :rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. They sound boycott-worthy

[AlCzervik]

22. nice way to alienate customers. I'd rather walk to another gas station than ever go

to that place no matter how far down the road the next one was.

[Aristus]

23. Well, it's Indiana, for the love of God.

"Mississippi North".

Where they keep the white sheets UNDER the bed, instead of on it.

[Brigid]

24. We're not all like that.

Don't paint us all with the same brush. This isn't the most sophisticated place in the world, but you'd be surprised how many Bush haters there are around here.

[Aristus]

26. I know. I tend to tar with the same brush when I'm angry or frustrated.

I hate that about myself. It means I'm just as bad as the bigots. :grr::mad:

[Brigid]

27. Do the same thing sometimes.

Friends? :toast:

[Aristus]

28. Absolutely.

:beer::pals:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Any business putting up a sign like that would not be getting

my business.

I'd try to find a "W" and an "E", replace the "You", and remove the "A". It would tell a more accurate story.

[Heidi]

31. And ya know, I'm betting that the Terra Haute Kwik Stop isn't even on Obama's agenda.

And I bet it's not on Clinton's agenda, either. Self-flatteting idiots (the Kwik Stop sign maker, not Clinton and Obama.)

Great documentary photography, by the way. :thumbsup:

[BarenakedLady]

33. Ewwww.

:wtf:

[LeftinOH]

34. Well, there not getting any of my busines's!!!

[EstimatedProphet]

35. I was thinking of sending a pic of that sign to the Obama campaign headquarters

That might be more attention than Mr. Rednek Jagov is really after.

[EstimatedProphet]

37. BTW have you ever seen the guy that owns the business?

I never have, but i keep picturing someone with 3 teeth - unbrushed for decades - one eyebrow, a sloping forehead, and holding s sledgehammer that he beats himself on the head with constantly.

[devilgrrl]

38. I need to know what that Reverend said that was so racist.

It sounded inflammatory at worst - far from racist imho.

Typical feigned outrage bullshit.
