Okay, I'm trying to post from the airport. Bear with me. I'll tell the ridiculous background story of how I found myself in a 4 hour layover in San Antonio while trying to get to New Orleans from Waco via Dallas later.
First, some stupid observations from the airport:
- The only place I ever see shoe shine stations is the airport. Am I missing something? And they're always full! Is there some kind of maintenance rule for shoes that connects to the airport?
- I just saw a chick who couldn't have been older than 18 with a t-shirt that said, "I'm not fat, I'm knocked up." And she was both. How do we prevent that from happening? I mean the shirt, not the stupid children getting pregnant. I have no confidence in being able to prevent that.
- I overheard one pilot saying to another, "We're running out of flight numbers." They've all got 3 digits. Can't they just add one?

And what's the deal with airline food? I mean, have you seen this stuff?
Sorry, I was possessed by 80s Seinfeld there for a minute.

Airport bars are the greatest though.

"I overheard one pilot saying to another, "We're running out of flight numbers." They've all got 3 digits. Can't they just add one?"
Not if they have invested in flight control systems/signage which have elements that only allow 3 digits. That would appear to be the case.

My guess for stopping shirts like that is to stigmatize premarital pregnancy in the youth culture and basically turn back the clock 15 years. I don't see the t-shirts situation changing unless the pregnancy rate and associated esteem that it brings within certain communities is radically lowered.
Do you have any ideas on how to lower the esteem factor? How about if you produce a public service announcement that publically lampoons folks for wearing t-shirts like that and then broadcast it nationwide. I'd even settle for you posting your public service commercial/announcement on your blog...
