"Extremely large guitar pick earring" culture, then? :unsure:

Those things are enormous.  Like table tennis paddles.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Too much into Racial/Cultural suppression. He still thinks GZ is a white boy. :P

I'm sure Tim does, too. And Valmy, due to the one drop rule.

:yeah:

The additional requirement is they really have to want to be white though.  I am not sure of GZ's love of the white and pastey peoples.

QuoteA Note Regarding the Zimmerman Trial

Both the Martin and Zimmerman families have asked for Americans to peaceably respect the verdict in the case against George Zimmerman. In light of that, we're going allow the matter some peace and have a moratorium on any discussions on the case here until the end of summer.

Thanks for your understanding.

QuoteAngry protesters call for Florida boycotts following Zimmerman acquittal


For two days the world waited for the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman. Outside the Seminole County courthouse, more than 200 demonstrators were on hand to hear what would become of the man who shot Trayvon Martin.

By Jason Garcia, Orlando Sentinel
3:09 p.m. EDT, July 16, 2013

Angered by George Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, protesters around the country have begun vowing on social-media channels to boycott everything from Florida vacations to state-produced orange juice.

"Never again. Florida's economy will suffer due to the loss and injustices of Trayvon Martin and his family," Facebook user Toshia Lynn posted on the public page of Visit Florida, the state's tourism-marketing agency.

Users on Twitter have begun campaigning under hash tags such as #BoycottFlorida and #NotFlorida. Their goal: To squeeze Florida's influential tourism businesses, in hopes that they will in turn pressure state leaders into repealing the state's controversial "Stand Your Ground" gun-rights law, which emerged as a flashpoint in Zimmerman's trial.


"Boycott Florida and maybe the tourism board and Disney will pressure FL lawmakers to repel [sic] Stand Your Ground," Twitter user @vivalalisian23m posted Tuesday.

A petition to "Boycott Florida Tourism," launched on the website of Moveon.org, had drawn about 5,800 signatures by mid-afternoon Tuesday.

"Florida is not a safe place to take your family for vacation as long as Florida law permits a citizen to shoot or kill you for merely looking suspicious, and to do it with impunity," petition organizers wrote. "Boycott Florida tourism until this dangerous law is overturned. If the murder of Trayvon Martin isn't enough to get lawmakers' attention, maybe a loss in revenue to the state would be."

At least one celebrity joined the chorus: Musician Stevie Wonder told an audience in Quebec City, Canada, that he will not perform in Florida again until the Stand Your Grand law is repealed, according to Hollywood Reporter. Wonder added that he would refuse to perform in any other state with a Stand Your Grand law, as well.

But while emotions are raw right now, one industry expert said he did the calls for boycotts are unlikely to have any meaningful impact on Orlando or Florida tourism.

"I honestly don't think so. Most people are familiar with what's going on, and they wouldn't blame an entire state for what happened in a very isolated case," said Abe Pizam, dean of the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management.

Pizam cited the case of Arizona, where many activists called for travel boycotts after the state passed its controversial anti-immigration law in 2010. Pizam said Arizona's tourism industry experienced a "tiny drop" in the immediate aftermath of the law's passage but that it

Eh, no.  Sorry.  I read it here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stevie-wonder-boycotting-florida-zimmerman-585760

Other performers are boycotting Florida, so it's not as if it's that far out there, Jake.

Oh, and I guess the LA Times is either in on the joke or got "swindled": http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-stevie-wonder-trayvon-martin-boycott-20130716,0,4883535.story
