The Avengers (by Bill Pyle)
Last year, Elmo and Cookie Monster stopped by EW’s offices to perform their versions of some popular TV shows. This year, Elmo was too busy working on Elmo: The Musical — but Grover and Cookie Monster (a.k.a. the Blue Brothers) had enough wiggle room in their schedules to come around and sing a few musical numbers of their own, parodying the likes of The Hunger Games, The Avengers, Doctor Who, and even TheNewsroom. Watch the video here.
I went to WalMart a few minutes ago to get The Avengers. The guy behind me in line was wearing a turban (he was also loudly smacking on a milkshake, but that’s not relevant to the story). As I was walking to the door after buying my glorious Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack (I don’t even have a Blu-Ray player yet), an older, male employee stopped me.
Him: mumble mumble guy with turban
Me: hmm?
Him: Did you see that guy with the turban?
Me: Yeah? What about it?
Him: I- I thought he was wearing a Halloween costume, heh heh
Me: Actually, It’s a religious artifact. (And you’re an asshole.)
I quickly exited the building after that, but he had a stunned expression on his face. I just wish I had thought to say the part in parenthesis before I walked away from him.
#1, Don’t harass me. You wouldn’t have said anything to me if I were a guy. I only stopped because you are an employee standing by the door as I’m trying to leave.
#2, Don’t harass me by trying to make fun of someone’s religion. I know you’re a racist old fart, but how about you just leave me alone unless you actually have a reason to stop me. Which you don’t because you clearly just watched me purchase my one and only item.
I don’t even know how to end this post. I’m just so irritated. (and annoyed that I couldn’t think of a better term than “artifact”.)
