MMeM, Vol. 4 Issue 25 – Oh no you di-int!

There are poor choices of words, and then there is this.


There is a phenomenon that occurs more often than one might think. It happens when you see a local merchant advertising something on their store front sign. We’ve all received the chain emails showing the ridiculous rants posted by that one church or the “witty” / “unwitty” sayings of a local business.

But, nothing prepares you for some of these sightings. It should be noted that the editors of Midwestern Meditations eMagazine recently anointed the greatest local business store front message of all time in MMeM, Vol. 4 Issue 9 – Priceless. But, we digress.

There are poor choices of words, and there there is this. Recently, not 1/8 mile from the landmark that produced MMeM, Vol. 4 Issue 9, the following message appeared at the local steakhouse:


Did you really go there? We’re on sexual cliche overload up in here. In fact, the cliches are actually fighting with each other.

“And let’s go to the replay, ‘Famous Wayne’s World quotes wrestle Superbad‘s snarky and sexually suggestive hand motions to the ground. But wait, here comes American Pie‘s sexually frustrated foreign exchange student…’

These eMagazine issues are supposed to be somewhat of a literary challenge. There should be archaic analogies and never ending sub-references leading to a clever twist. In the end, they are meant to spark thought and contemplation, i.e. “Meditations”.

However, sometimes we have to pick the low hanging fruit in order to clear our discriminating view.
