#MenToo

That actor who faked his own mugging should get an Oscar, I think.

No! He should host the Oscars!

Anyway, that's not what this entry is about because this entry is about the blood red #MeToo painted on that statue of the man (war) in a sailor uniform sexually assaulting a woman (peace) in a nurse's uniform in celebration of Japan's surrender in WWII shortly after the US dropped a couple of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing thousands of innocent civilians.

I like it a lot because it drew my eye to the woman in white's leg, reminding me of those stories people told about the women of France drawing a black line up the back of their legs to look like they were wearing stockings so that American soldiers would give them a piece of chocolate in exchange for syphilis.

Kidding!

I support the troops no matter whose lives they're destroying. And the women of France, too.

No, seriously, I just really like that blood red #MeToo on the leg of the woman in white.

Funny how no one complained that the statue is almost a complete inversion of the original photo and the mass-produced poster that followed it, though. I mean the statue may as well not have the man in it at all, it's so all about the woman.

Geez, men, it's like you can't catch a break, anymore.

Aw crap. Some kiss ass corporate philistine wiped it off.

Never mind.
