Today I was walking past the check out aisles at walmart with a cart full of groceries courtesy of my Link card and I spotted a large poster on the wall featuring two people with Down's Syndrome. I did not have to read anything on the poster to realize it was yet one more attempt to remind us shopping drones of Cultmart how exalting the leaders of our commercial religion were as it pertains to the simple folk.
Approximately two feet lower and four feet to the left of the poster sat a 300 pound'ish middle aged Down's Syndrome man. Initially I thought he was one of the models from the poster as I unfortunately find that most Down's afflicted folk look alike. In my confusion I stood there for a few extra moments to compare and contrast 'bench guy Down's' with the guy in the poster. The similarity was striking as my eyes shifted from bench to poster, bench to poster, bench to poster, until my fixated fascination was suddenly halted when 'benchie' opened his mouth and said to me...."Fucking Pig"
I slowly walked on knowing for sure that 'benchie' was not the guy from the poster.
