sign

Someone that will say or do anything to keep from getting ignored, it doesn't matter what it is.
The sign says you are a stupid faggot clown that doesn't pay enough attention to black lives, extraterrestrial rights, or noisy idiots, and that all of these things matter more than what you were thinking about or paying attention to today.
