Cool pod...but I thought "pimp" wasn''t politically correct any more. :)
-
You know the whole glorification of human trafficking eptiomized by the word "pimp" isn''t exactly something anyone should ascribe to (human rights violations are never "edgy") It is not "politically incorrect," since it is not about hiding the objective reality to suite cultural sensitivities, but just plain wrong (assuming one cares about basic rights as a tenet of democracy).
Besides, even if you don''t care about humanity, you should realize "pimp" is so damn tired.-

Sure, the word pimp is tired and moronic...I never say it...but hoo-boy, somebody is much holier than I am.
I don''t enjoy it when people condescend like it''s a career.
Bit I do enjoy the tank sneaker. -
I just went to my first SP event this last weekend. It was in conjunction with a Too Short show. Wild, man, wild. That''s all I have to say.

enjoyed the pod. some of the sneaks were truly over the top and original, the sneak with the red, black and green black liberation flag was my fav, but the theme of the sneaker clashes with the title wording of "pimp".

Humdrum,
Dude, your hypocrisy is out of control. Hilarious, really. Especially considering that pimps are the masters of "holier than thou" mentality, as they (and society) justify the brutal enslavement of human beings by dehumanizing and demonizing women and girls. Oh, and they are most "condescending." So why be complicit in a culture that glorifies them?
The fact women and girls are human beings and, thus, deserve basic rights is not a technicality, but the truth, regardless whether you are offended by those who hold true to such an obvious fact.-

Shit, I forgot to add: and they (pimps) make an entire career out of their "holier than thou" and "condescending" behavior.
