Entertained, they stare but don’t sign.

Liar. You use toothpaste; sign here.

B****. I’m trying to save lives.

Writer’s Memo:

                I petitioned outside King Soopers on Saturday December 11, 2010 for cruelty free cosmetics. The first one is about a group of teenage boys who stood and stared at us for 20 minutes, pointing and talking amongst themselves, but wouldn’t come sign no matter how spastically I “danced” and shouted. The second is towards almost every male person who shook his head, smiled and said they didn’t use cosmetics so they didn’t need to sign. The third comes from a woman who came over to angrily demand to know why we were screaming at her, than stomped off after declaring she thought we said something else. I thought it, but my group said it.
