It's Not Family Day When...

There are signs up all over the New York City area (read: Brooklyn) about the 5th Annual Family Day Festival in New Jersey that is being hosted by an organization whose name I have forgotten. The festival is a homage to reggae music, as popular singers such as Buju Banton, will be performing. However, I paused open-mouthed when I read the name of another headliner: Assassin.

I don't care if he sings Barney the purple dinosaur's greatest hits, if an artist named Assassin is performing at your affair, it is NOT Family Day.

Do better.

I really enjoy your blog... it gives me a lot to consider in the way I think [and you are so articulate too!]. Maybe one day I will have the courage to comment more than this greeting/bravo.

HAAAAAA!!! That's my girl. What's WRONG with your people? "Family Day" -- that's funny. Maybe assassination is a family value that they share. WHo knows?

At least he spelled it correctly. I'd have expected it to be "Uhsazzin" or some other bastardization of English perpetrated on the premise of being street. Oh, my people, my people...

Did they have kid sized packages of weed too? perhaps mini-bongs?
