Geez, I thought we'd all grown past flame wars. I'm not seeing anything productive going on here - just a bunch of jeering and name-calling. And while I agree with Pipenta's comment 100%, I think reposting it on the front page might be a little petty and certainly unconstructive in stopping the flames. Jeff himself said he was trolling a bit. That should be a red flag to ignore his comment and move on.

That said, Pipenta wanted to see some titles with the art - check this out:

I had to comment but it looks like others have already reflected my sentiments - turning off the buss might be considered a prank but throwing rocks and assaulting drivers makes calling these kids pranksters insulting to real pranksters.

And what's with all the dems vs repubs jokes? I don't think there are any Republicans in San Francisco anyway. At least, none that would admit it in public.

Congrats, congrats!!! Wonderful name, too. :)

So, you miss your flight or you're late for work, but at least you can enjoy a festive holiday vente latte!
