HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - His intentions may have been good, but 26-year-old Jason Sansom probably should have asked for permission before painting a Huntington bridge pink. Sansom says he was walking by the bridge over Fourpole Creek in Ritter Park last weekend when he noticed it needed a paint job.
He decided then and there that he wanted to do something to help clean up the city, so he bought $50 worth of paint and went to work painting it pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer awareness? Riiiight. Wink-wink.
It's so obvious. A guy who just pulls an idea out of thin air, and goes to all the trouble to slap paint on a public work without permission - pink paint! Not even matching paint! - is a full-tilt ==POPE==, with all rights and privileges pertaining thereto.
One thing puzzles me. Why didn't he explain to the authorities his Infallable Nature at the Scene of the Revelation? Maybe he doesn't know he's an instrument of the Goddess. Maybe he's what Kerry Thornley called an avatar - someone who successfully rearranges society's furniture a little, but doesn't know he's actually part of a larger picture of chaos.
Blogfolk, our mission is clear. We need to make sure that kid gets hip to the Goddess before She manifests again and gets his ass thrown in jail. Quick - which of you lives closest to Huntington? I will email you some literature to take to him.
I know someone who lives in Huntington.
It's uh...uh...uh...Oh, I'll try to remember later.

Mom and I were previously aware that Huntington contains vast deposits of confusion.
