I just ran across this hilarious take on an unnamed Canadian sheeple (or would the singular be sheeperson?) and their bumper stickers. The full post is here. R-rated excerpt below.
I’m in my car, sitting in traffic, and I notice the rig in front of me was covered in bumper stickers. Strange, strange bumper stickers.
…
The final one was my favorite. It’s off the crazy scale. It reads as such:What? Border collies? You fucking idiot. It doesn’t even make sense. Any fucking shmuck on Earf can buy a fucking border collie. You might as well make the bumper sticker say, “It’s hard to be humble when you own toothpaste.” Makes as much sense. Now if it said, “It’s hard to be humble when you own the greatest tits on the planet,” well, yeah, I would imagine it would be hard to be humble in that spot. Otherwise it’s weird.
“Hey, I saw you talking to that girl with the great tits. How did it go?”
“Awesome! She blew me in the bathroom. It was like she had no self-worth at all!”
“Hey, I saw you talking to that girl with the border collie. How did it go?”
“Totally blew me off. Gave me this big speech about how she was better than me.”
If irreverence towards sheeple, crass sexual humor, and a potty mouth weren’t enough reasons to read Lozo, he also hates cats and poor grammar. A trifecta in my book.

How’s Lozo on inaccurate book reviews? Does he hate them too?
I don’t think Lozo reads much. I think he even said as much on his blog somewhere.
As for what I assume the spineless anonynous commenter is harping on, I stand by my reviews of McCaig’s book and if there are any inaccuracies, please do illuminate me on what they are. I posted plenty of word-for-word quotes from the book and discussed the issues I harped on in several follow up posts.
The only inaccuracies I am aware of are McCaig’s omission of unfavorable facts like him being beaten in the Nationals by a Barbie Collie or what happened to all the people who signed that AKC:Hands Off petition or wrote anti-AKC letters to the AKC. You can read about them in my upcoming post called “Where Are They Now.”
I suspect he conveniently forgot about those people and their defection to the AKC because it doesn’t fit his self righteous world view that the Third Estate should be ignored except when it’s convenient to quote them against the AKC (10 years ago, never mind what they are doing today).
He also conveniently changes his attitude from one of mild pity in the book (~ I don’t think we’d be as brave if the AKC controlled sheep trials) to declaring the Third Estate “a clear and present danger” in the internal memos… since it’s obvious the “clear and present danger” rhetoric would make the ABCA look poor in the book whereas he can get away with it while preaching to the choir.
It’s easy to demonize conformation, but it’s not so easy to make the case that versatility or sport breeders are ruining the breed.
Feel free to leave your name and some more detail next time, or perhaps your thoughts are as empty as your comment.
