I just posted this on my blog, but I thought I'd share it here as well ...

"Not Part of the Club":

A few days ago hubby and I went to get tickets for the new Indiana Jones movie (don’t even get me started on how crappy the movie was … just made me miss the “original” Indiana Jones movies. Also, hubby and I got kind of sad thinking that our kids will think of this movie as the “Indianan Jones” movie not the “original” movies … just sad, thank goodness for DVD’s). Anyway, as we were going to get the tickets we passed a guy wearing a shirt with this on it (I hope you can make it out). It says “I’m only in it for the parking” with a disabled parking symbol.

The guys wearing it was totally not disabled. He was just some random guy. Both hubby & I had to pass him as we got into the ticket line, we both were a bit perplexed in a “WTF is this guy thinking!?” kind of way. I tried to make eye contact with him, but he looked away as we passed. I hope he realized what a stupid shirt to wear if you’re not disabled. It would be like me wearing a shirt that said “I’m only black for the affirmative action”. Yeah, totally not right - me being a very pasty white person. If I ever see this guys again I would love to run right into the back of his legs, perhaps he’ll need a disabled parking placard after … although I wouldn’t want some looser taking up my valued parking. Ug.

Karen my younger brother confronted a guy that was parking in a disabled spot because the guy looked OK but when this guy opened his shirt he had stitches from his chin to his belly button from open heart surgery. It was an embarrassing situation to say the least. Sorry the movie sucked...........

LOL,

Hey, that's my design!

Was that the exact design he was wearing?

Looks like he's been visiting the Apparelyzed site.

Ha ha, unfortunately no. It was a black t-shirt with a white disabled logo on it - same idea, however. This site was the one I knew would have a t-shirt like that however ... thus the picture! Hee hee - I might have to buy one now ...

I don't see it quite the same as you Karen. I would like to see everyone wearing that and similar tees.

They are advertisements,,,,, and funny ones are the ones people remember.

The more often people think about us, the more likely they are to feel sympathy toward,, donate to,, or vote for,, initiatives that will be of benefit to us.

The last thing we need for an advertisement is someone in a chair berating an AB for their choice of t shirt. Bitter cripple is NOT what we want anyone to remember.

Like the picture Kwag!

Karen,
Maybe he's nothing more than a devotee or promoting the new faker movie coming out regarding AB's who think they should be paralized!

Or, maybe a relative/friend of his is disabled. Anyway, far be it from me to jump to conclusions . . .

As long as he's not taking my parking spot, I'm good!
