    I graduated from college in 1995, and only one guy I knew had a tattoo, and it was a Superman tattoo on his upper arm. My brother-in-law is 26 and he has tattoos up and down his body, including on his hands. It works okay for him because he's into T-shirt design, but for a lot of people tattoos are not hip, they're low-rent and reflect irresponsibility. It's a generation thing, though, and kind of remarkable how quickly the attitude towards them has largely shifted.

    Upset and Offended Guy Without Tattoos is one of my favorite characters.

    As far as I know, Kaepernick has not done a single criminal thing in his career, so to compare him to prisoners in San Quintin is absurd.

    Remember when people complained about Allen Iverson's cornrows because it was too scary? I get that he's trying to be funny here, but it's just lazy.

    You could easily take a more enlightened view on this to address the issue and say, like it or no, this is the world we live in. QBs are CEOs? Well, guess what CEOs look like these days? It ain't Don Draper. It's Mark Zuckerberg. It's Jay-Z. Like it or not, it's Lil Wayne.

    You mean my rant that parents should be free to raise their children as they would like?

    I'm basically a total social libertarian. Live your life as you'd like.

    And the reason I don't like Whitley is because of his tired, pun-heavy, lowest-common-demominator writing style.

    Who's Upset and Offended? I'm not offended by people's tattoos. I simply think less of most people who have them. But people with wit and intelligence can overcome anything. I hope you don't have tattoos, bc your way with words certainly wouldn't obviate any first impressions.

    Obviate? Come on, you're not fooling anyone.

    I highly doubt that. In fact, YGBFKM

    Yeah, especially the use of the word "faggy."

    Dragons are totally for fags, amirite, bros?

    How does one get into the tattoo removal profession?

    As journalism dies, that might be a decent landing spot by 2030.

    Hell, you could just specialize in tramp-stamp removal and make a healthy living.
