Complain all the damn time

I'll get to the complaints presently, but first this nugget from Portland, courtesy of a blog named Things are better (now we have the bomb).

The article that goes with this picture is titled Complain all the damn time. It speaks for itself, so go read it. For me to say anymore would spoil the sense of detached irony that I am striving for here. It would be like trodding out into a fresh snow to investigate, only to ruin nature's blanket with your stupid footprints. You get the idea.

The article recounts the events that transpired when the Humboldt Neighborhood Association (HNA) asked the bar the Florida Room's owners to attend a meeting to discuss the sign.

...complaints from neighbors started pouring in. Bartenders fielded calls nearly every day, passersby popped in to voice their opinion on the SIN phrase (two also inquired about co-owner Patti Earley's "relationship with God," she says), and the Humboldt Neighborhood Association (HNA) asked Florida Room's owners to attend a meeting to discuss the sign. On March 13, the bar got a letter from two North Portland residents, asking that the Florida Room "immediately remove this advertisement," which they contended was "offensive, inappropriate, degrading, misleading to the children in the community, and insensitive to the history and tradition of the community."
...
Hanson, who attended the HNA meeting, says the SIN motto speaks to "who we are and who we cater to." Sitting next to Earley at the bar, Hanson explained that many of their regulars are servers and bartenders at other bars and restaurants. Earley pointed to the dozen or so patrons sipping drinks, and counted at least half as service industry employees. "We really like service industry clientele," she says. "They know how to drink, and how to tip."

"And they know exactly what we're fucking talking about [on the sign]," Hanson adds.
...
But [co owner] Hanson says they are expecting a letter-changing pole to arrive any day, and then they'll likely change the sign. "Maybe to something else offensive and vulgar," Earley says wryly.

And to top it off, the accompanying personal ad on this page also had me rolling in the aisles. Pictured is a young hip looking girl with the caption:
