The roof .. the roof..

....is apparently on fire. Actually, the whole place has burned right to the ground. I'm of course referring to the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, Maine. The entire building was destroyed, including the families living quarters that were attached to the back. State fire officials have confirmed it was arson.

I understand that some people may oppose a topless coffee shop. I get that some uptight people are probably quite uncomfortable with the concept. However, this is one of those cases where those people need to get the fuck over themselves and either deal, or move the hell away.

Someone was so offended by this 'atrocity' that they decided it was ok for them to take the law into their own hands and burn it to the ground. Nevermind the fact that it was a popular business that employed 14 people. Nevermind the fact that the owner, his two daughters, their boyfriends and 2 grandkids were all asleep in the attached living are when the arsonist set the place ablaze. Luckily an ambulance crew returning from another call noticed the blaze and were able to wake the family and get them out safely.

Just when you think we are making progress as a society something like this rears its head. What kind of message does this send? The topless human form is a horrible thing, but setting someone elses property and business on fire and possibly killing 7 people is ok if you REALLY don't like something. Good game. If they catch the arsonist, I say that he/she should be forced to watch as his home is burned down while hedonistic topless people dance around around it cheering. Then, they should shave off his nipples like they guy from Pink Floyd's The Wall since nipples apparently are offensive to him. I wouldn't want him suffering emotional distress when he looks in the mirror!
