Lane Splitting Los Angeles

well, you'll have to take that up with the state assembly, and the tens of thousands of riders who do it safely and legally every day, including CHP officers themselves. As an east coaster, I was shocked when I first rode through California and saw a surprisingly well-educated driving and motorcycling populace coexisting quite nicely, even giving deference to motorcyclists in conditions where a bike obviously has the advantage (winding canyon roads, slow interstate traffic, etc), rather than pulling some sort of territorial "this is my section of the road and you can't have it" bs. At the end of the day, its about efficiency.

This guy might be pushing the upper limit of legal splitting in a few places, but compared to what the uneducated stunt-prone "riders" prevalent in other parts of the country try to pull, he's not doing anything terribly wrong.

Christian Fundamentalist Pop: "God Hates Fags"

FOLKS!

THIS IS A JOKE. THIS IS SATIRE. And unfortunately, its doing a very good job of exposing a lot of prejudice on the other side of the coin.

Look at his website, the band website, and the URL at the lead-in of the video. They're all clearly done at the same time by the same designer just for the launch of the video. Its a sociological viral video experiment.

In this day and age you really need to polish your crap detectors to a glossy shine. This is a very well executed, funny parody...

FWIW... the originators of the "God Hates Fags" slogan (Westboro Baptist) is also a crock... they're not a church, but rather just a group of lawyers scamming America to stir up lawsuits (settlements, more to the point) and cash out. They have no affiliation to any kind of church, and they're winning.

There is a very organized (in this video's case, lighthearted; in Westboro's case insidious) attempt to prey on the prejudices of the anti-religious, and you're all getting fleeced, and making hilariously uninformed speeches in the process.

Know your real enemy. Lighten up and learn to laugh at things that are very clearly so absurd they aren't true.
