Today I went to the bank to do some business when my heretofore calm mind happened upon a sign, garishly blasted on the wall of the bank, which read:
SAVE
is the new
SPEND
In bold red and blue, with an "attractive" man headlining the absurdly propaganda-ish tone of the whole charade. It really turned my stomach if you wanna know the truth. I really cannot say enough about it, by which I mean, I really have nothing to say about it. I imagined hypothetical protest signs to put up next to it:
WORDS
do not mean
SHIT
I thought, or how about
MEANING
does not
MATTER
or even
BLACK
is actually exactly the same as
WHITE
But even this exercise finds some redemption in the suggestion: "So, you're saying, black is white? Up is down? How can I possibly resolve this cognitive dissonance?" On the sign, is just a fat fart of an announcement, a sneeze, a petulant dressed-up slut now already gone on the street walking past you, leaving without the chance for you to make a salacious judgment.
Alas, distressing thoughts on a friendly bank errand.
