Los Angeles has always been populated by the dramatic and the attention-seeking. It's part of our culture, and that's why we don't seem to affected by those who wear their hearts on their sleeves. But what about the latest group of people, those who wear their thoughts on their ass?
Take, for example, the woman above who wears a large "24/7" printed directly over her butthole. What exactly does this mean? My ass is open day and night? My butt never closes? Enter anytime, we're always ready? Personally if I had anything inside my pants that was available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, I wouldn't let every single person within a 20 foot radius be aware of this condition. It's sort of asking for trouble.
Moving along, we find that this particular person has not only put an entire sentence on her rear-end, it's also an imperative statement which insists you bite. This may be just me, but receiving an unexpected chomp on the buttcheek by a stranger while I'm ordering dinner seems inconvenient and bordering on annoying. I think if I were to put a command across my butt it would say something like "back off" or "if you're reading this you're too close" or "stand back, imminent explosion."
Now this one is just being too vague. Play? Which play, there are a number of definitions of play and here we can't even be sure if we're talking noun or verb. Is this come play with my ass or I'm ready to give you some play or I'm underage and I like to play dress up or I'm not serious about anything, my ass is just for play? If your buttcheeks are going to broadcast a message, it should be specific and not left open for interpretation because this too can cause trouble. Maybe with a footnote somewhere.
Sir-mix-a-lot aside, I don't know if the idea of calling your bootay a "land" is all that appealing. Does this mean it is an entire nation of juice? Because when I think of butts and juice the image isn't particularly appealing and usually leads me down the prune aisle which is just gross. I also wonder if Juicyland is an incorporated nation or just a neighboorhood (and if so, check next week for the neighborhood project as I am all over that). Maybe "juice" is description of the geography and the major tourist location is Chocolate Ravine, make a left just after Asszit Road.
All in all, I'm confused and disturbed. I'll have to talk about this next week in therapy.

Bravo! Excellent post.
Now that the trend seems to include complete sentences, I'm wondering how long before I see "If you lived here you'd be home by now" plASStered across someone's hiney.
I didn't notice the P in PLAY at first and it made a lot more sense.
Finally!! Another pictorial!! Strange though, none of these women appear to have a tramp stamp, uggs; we cant see muffin top.
They must be from out of town.
Assvertising. Another fashion trend that I just don't get and wish would die a horrible and quick death.
Awesome post, Mal.
seems an effective prophylactic device to me...I wouldn't want to touch any of them with such unintentionally defensive advertising. 24/7 indeed.
"Bite my shiny, metal ass."
Awesome article again. Can't wait for part two when you reveal your approved ass-writing
I think people should just dispense with verbiage and sport a bull's eye. that would faciliatate snapping a cap in asses.
My behind is so big that it doesn't need attention drawn to it...though once I considered getting Michelangelo's Pieta tattooed there....actual size.
what about crotch writing? Where are the crotch written sweatpants!!! Equal time is demanded.
My favorite was a woman in pink pants with the word SPOILED written across it in green. She may as well have added some stink lines around it.
"The latest group of people"??? This has been going on for like...seven years. I can't wait for you to pull the lid off those "big sunglasses" that all the ladies seem to love these days.
Asses aside. What the hell is up with the boots with cargo pockets? I HATE cargo pockets.
This fad should be popularized by the Gay Man...oh wait, they actually have fashion sense-doh!
You've been dugg!
