My boyfriend forwarded me your link and I haveta say, thank you. Thank you for reminding me that it’s so very very important to have a sense of humor in this world.
Ya know, I often forget how unbelievably lucky I am to live in such a God-hating, terrorist producing, liberal loving city like Seattle; because there’s another part of this country I often forget about.
Places where people drive “cars” that get 12 miles to the gallon. Places where people who drive those cars wouldn’t think twice about hitting a cyclist and driving off without another thought…unless of course the “Lord” speaks to you.
Fortunately for me, all I do is look beyond your words and laugh. What else is there to do? You will never change. You will never learn. You will go about your life thinking you are above people who have different lifestyles than your own.
So maybe the next time you’re ShamWowing the blood off your hummer, I hope you take the time to stop and smile at the irony. Congratulations, you just killed someone’s husband, friend and partner but it’s really just all part of God’s big plan for you.

you r insane im not at all shocked that u were coming from a pray group when this happened and that you think this
further more i agree with the “me”s prior statement i would have beat the fucking shit out of you or maybe just called the cops because if you hit a cyclist it does not matter you have the wrong of way regardless i wish some one had seen this and reported you so the can go to jail for a hit and run where some one can teach an ignorant person like you a lesson in the shower on the difference in people who ride bikes and people who are gay and do drugs
and also where the fuck are you getting your facts you obviously know as much about drugs as the people who wrote the scripts for dragnet i have several fellow bike riders who enjoy the mountain bike group at their church that their father started for their parish
and not that i have any thing against people who say they are catholic or any religion but to take it to what ever level you are at takes away from all level headed people who follow religion and if there is anything terrorist in this equation it is other people with your same mind set in the muslem religion i think there is a hole group of people who feel the same way you do about random things like bike riders they are called G~had personaly the way you beliving in god is about the same as a 5 year old thinking harry potter is real
all i guess im asking is as my main point is shut up and dont make every one else who thinks the same way look so fucking dumb so at least you might just look uptight as apposed to smart witch you obbviously are not

Hey Guys,

Thanks for entertaining me!

FYI: The United States’ 43rd President George W. Bush was an avid mountain biker and a terrorist fighter! He even visited Beijing to ride the Olympic mountain bike course (yes, mountain biking is an Olympic Sport!) with the Chinese women’s team.

So, are all cyclists bad people? Or maybe just the ones that aren’t conservative? Or did you just stereotype a large percentage of the world’s population into a group of athletic patriots?

I would have ripped you from your hummer and stomped you into a puddle.

Wouldn’t a true patriot ride a bike, as bikes don’t consume fossil fuels, and the more Americans spend on fossil fuels the more America contributes to OPEC (which is almost exclusively dominated by Islamic interests with the exception of Venezuela, which is decidedly anti-American anyway) which in turn gets pushed into terrorism by Middle Eastern nations? No, madam, you are being un-american by spending your ill-gotten money to contribute to terrorism.

Just because you’re a christian doesn’t mean that you’re not a bad person. Godliness doesn’t make you a decent, logical human being. The worst people that i’ve ever met were from my church.

Shelley, why is it that you only respond to the dumb questions, leaving the intelligent, thought out ones witout a reply? Are you just so scared that people with IQs over 60 are going to own you? If you really want to show that you aren’t completely retarded, reply to all the comments that aren’t completely stupid and actually make sense. Do this and I might just show a shred of respect for you.

I’m confused now… Is this some kind of deadpan comedy? seriously, I can’t tell anymore ’cause your bigotry and close-mindedness seems so compellingly realistic. then again, I’m from TEXAS originally and have never met anyone fitting the “retard suburbanite” stereotype so well. The skill with which you state your case sounds so authentically hateful its hard to tell…
Though, i must say; even dead-pan humor can do without the homo cracks. I commute and race my bike and am quite hetero. In fact, I just had a long night of great sex with my wonderful girlfriend last night. And I’ve found that the cardiovascular exercise that comes with cycling regularly, does wonders for your sex drive and stamina, making me even further from a homo than i ever thought possible. HAHAHAHA!
Seriously Shelly et al, if this is deadpan, keep it coming. If you really are this backward… uhhhh…. refer to the above posts i guess!

hows about you go put your clan hood back on and go fuck your brother? thats pretty american… you make me sick, the fact that your ignorant ass is considered an “upstanding citizen” is a fucking joke. its no wonder the rest of the world hates this country…
that cyclist should be taking you to court for attempted vehicular manslaughter. you know, the same thing they charge drunk drivers with? you are not the only one on the road you know… think if it was someone you knew that got hit. might change your view a bit. all the fans of this fuckhead, remember what happened to hitlers followers?

For Americans that are too thick to figure it out, Shelley is poking fun at conservatives by pretending to be one, as well as appealing to conservatives that are too dumb to notice the switcheroo. It’s called “the archie bunker” effect: liberals like it because it pokes fun at stupid racists like archie bunker, while it also appeals to racists because they get to watch archie being racist. On one level its a very clever marketing scheme, on the other hand where does it leave us?

I’d say somewhat empty…

…but such is America.

Uh, yeah Hi. I was just wondering If I can get my 5 minutes back. Also, how do I make the feeling that I’ve gotten considerably less intelligent by reading 1/3 of your article go away?

Hey, for all of the logical leaps of this website and article, it is at least an expression of free speech, and proof that anybody and their mum’s can publish on the internet.

You are a disgusting, terrible excuse for a human being, and a Christian. That fact that you have the same faith and political affiliation as myself is embarrassing to say the least. This sort of bigotry puts you in the same class as the Phelps family.
I happen to be a mountain biker. And guess what? I’m religious, I’m heterosexual AND engaged, I own a car and drive it regularly, educated, drug free, have a good job, and am courteous to others on the road and trail.
You generalizing all people on bikes as godless, drug-using homosexuals with a death with would be the same as me saying all Hummer drivers are anal-retentive douchebags with no sense of compassion or love for others who don’t fully conform to their ways. But, I don’t say that. My aunt happens to own a Hummer, and she’s a wonderful person. I rib her about it every now and then, but it’s her choice to drive one. It was her first brand new car, and a dream of hers to own one. So, she can have it.
I don’t know why I’m even bothering. You are a petty, worthless individual, and ultimately the embodiment of what is wrong in this world.
