A few people have taken issue with the way I show my displeasure at officialdom and busybodies [some redundancy] by using this cartoon:
“It’s too crass, Kim!” and “You have more class than that, Kim!” are the common themes.
Far be it for me to upset my more conservative Readers, so in future I may be using this instead:
I trust that this change is to everyone’s satisfaction…
Kim,
Why use one or the other? I think both have their place.
I think they express two very different attitudes.
I wasn’t a complainer but I do like the change!
It’s because you have class that the pant-dropping little gnome is effective. Kinda like a nun dropping the f-bomb. It makes you pay attention.
I liked the first one okay, but I like the second one better.
Shit. This just makes me come on here with the attitude of, “Man, I hope Kim makes an ass of himself today!”
The first is a bold declaration of “KMA”;
the second is a celebration.
The second picture, while very nice, just doesn’t send the same message as the first. Keep them both, but use them appropriately.
Still not sure. Perhaps you could post a few hundred more examples, so we can develop a baseline for further study.
If the person(s) the second one is aimed at won’t enjoy it (or admit to enjoying it), that’s the time to use it.
