Boom Car Boy Insults World War II Veterans
One of the samples of hate mail from a boomer contained a graphic which insulted World War II veterans by desecrating a patriotic image from that period. He took a scan of a poster encouraging Americans to follow the rules for ration stamps so there would be enough coffee for the GIs. At the bottom of the poster he inserted an obscene message, the text of which I don't care to repeat. Go here to view this gross insult.
With their hate mail campaign, the boom car boys have revealed their inner nature, under the veil of anonymity, and have provided a window through which we can peer into the collective soul of their sociopathic subculture and observe its rottenness in fine detail.
I thought he was going to whine about the "booming" sound pissing off the vets because of the similar noise...
in which case I would be concerned with the quality of the bombs back then for them to sound like Late Nite Tip
