News One More Reason to Support Racial and Ethnic Profiling: The Green Menace Among Us

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 4:21 PM

A charter school in Colorado went into terrorist alert lock-down on Wednesday after a janitor came across a suspicious "bag" in the parking lot. Authorities called in their special bomb-investigating robot (who I'll assume is called "Robbie") who deemed things "all clear," in a funny, Stephen Hakwing-esque voice. When officers went in, they discovered that the bag contained Kermit the Frog, a small, green radical, who claimed he'd turned to terrorism because "it isn't easy being green."

And that, Mark, is why we need racial and ethnic profiling.
