Apparently the word doesn't mean what I think it means. See the headline said: "Topless Women Go Bonkers Over Inequality in Maine" and I was keen to experience precisely what topless women did when they went "bonkers". In Maine that is.
Boy was I ever disappointed.
On Friday, nearly two dozen women marched topless through the college town to protest a double-standard that allows men to take off their shirts on a hot summer day.(AP)
Ok, well, in *my* book marching in an orderly manner doesn't correlate to "bonkers". What's more the whole point of the march seems rather questionable as well. Heck women already are supported by law to let their unfettered titties flap in the breeze within the state of Maine. But the point of the protest was to make it *socially* acceptable as well.
Am I missing something? How does a protest march force social acceptance? Kind of seems like the opposite to me. I mean if you really wanted something to be considered the norm wouldn't you just go about performing the activity along with your every day stuff? I don't know about everyone else out there but my daily schedule doesn't typically include participation in a protest march. But hey, that's just me, back to the point again.
So, since a peaceful protest isn't my definition of bonkers then what fills in the blank (at least imho)? Perhaps running about screaming while boob-slapping startled pedestrians. Or knocking the dentures out of little old men's chops with an inaccurately flailed nipple ring. Plastering a pair of hefty hooters against car windows, glass fronted stores. Or say, smacking the appetizers out of the hands noshers at the local sidewalk cafe. That's more of what I think of.
But hey, like I said, that's just my opinion. Feel free to add your own interpretation.
