"GOODBYE OBAMAVILLE"

Failed Furniture Outlet Plasters Truck With Very Reasonable Signs

Now that the local Payless has closed its doors, dark days lie ahead for the residents of Lawrence, Kansas. But in case you weren’t quite sure how dark, the store’s failed owner has taken it upon himself to explain exactly what’s become of the “COMMIE & CANDY ASS CAPITOL OF KANSAS.” Through the art of truck poster.

Chad Lawhorn of the Lawrence Journal-World was the first to stumble upon the very well thought-out and coherent signage, when he ran into the rabble-rouser himself. From LJ World:

I asked the fellow if he was associated with the store. He said he wasn’t, and then pulled a set of keys out of his pocket and opened the door to the locked store. I told him I thought that might be a sign he was associated with the store. I asked him about his signs, and he said he thought they spoke for themselves.

A man from a nearby business who saw our conversation said that was Bob, the owner of the place. Indeed, the going out of business permit from the city lists a Robert Fyfe as the owner of the store.


Why Bob was being so coy remains unclear. What’s not to be proud of.

Thanks Obama. No we no longer have the Sofa King.

The irony probably escapes him. But the former workers who lost their jobs
at American furniture plants will shed no tears at Bob's change of fortune.

Maybe he should have been closed down as a biohazard anyhow ... link: http://life.gaiam.com/article/your-furniture-hazardous-your-health-4-lessons-learn-about-formaldehyde

Bring it back to what point in history? To 200 years ago when slavery still existed and most women weren't entitled to own property and only property owning white men could vote? To the 1950s when minorities and women still had no equal rights? Precisely what point in history are these people yearning for?
